You keep baiting me on this, and I don't really want to go through posts from a decade ago, but I was thinking about this when I was driving for my lunch meeting today. Someone else posted something about it earlier ITT and I ignored it.
If you linked a post somewhere, I guess I'll go back and try to justify it if necessary, but I wonder if you guys are just totally off base on where those comments came from. The whole 50+ ton animal breathing out of nostrils the size of a horse was part of a discussion I had with someone like 10 years ago regarding atmospherics in a pre-flood world.
You can think I'm bat**** crazy for believing things written in the bible, but I'm not denying the existence of dinosaurs, if that's what you're implying. I realize that in the minds of most here, there's no meaningful distinction. But the nostril thing is just such a weird line of attack I figured I'd finally acknowledge your bait and ask wtf your issue is.
At some point, someone linked me a study by dudes at the University of Manchester, but it was less a study and more of just a theory to try and make sense of the fact that it would've been impossible for something that large to function if the atmosphere were similar to what we've known. It boiled down to, "They're birds, and birds are super good at breathing efficiently." It was pretty underwhelming.
Still, I tend not to discuss YEC related things with people I know have no interest in it. It's been a very, very long time since I've bothered with an online thread on the topic. I frankly don't care enough about it to invest the time. But I do believe in a Creator, if that's what you just want me to admit.
Though, I think there's plenty of LOLINSO to go around, so feel free to PM me if you want to goad me further on believing in God. No need to clutter up a Trump thread.
