little tidbit of new knowledge.

[rolmops]

Yesterday as I was listening to Michael Feldman's "What do you know" section of his show on NPR there was a bit of new discovery.
As it turns out,the dinosaurs died out about 6000 years ago.
This bit of knowledge came from Kentucky from a museum called the Museum of Creation, or some such name.
Has anyone on iboats been to this museum? If so,can you please inform us about some other new discoveries made by the scientists working for the museum?
Does the museum really exist or is it just a big hoax by Michael Feldman?

PETERSBURG, Ky. — The entrance gates here are topped with metallic Stegosauruses. The grounds include a giant tyrannosaur standing amid the trees, and a stone-lined lobby sports varied sauropods. It could be like any other natural history museum, luring families with the promise of immense fossils and dinosaur adventures.
But step a little farther into the entrance hall, and you come upon a pastoral scene undreamt of by any natural history museum. Two prehistoric children play near a burbling waterfall, thoroughly at home in the natural world. Dinosaurs cavort nearby, their animatronic mechanisms turning them into alluring companions, their gaping mouths seeming not threatening, but almost welcoming, as an Apatosaurus munches on leaves a few yards away.


Yea, it's real.
Read about it here.

No it won't.
Just answered the question if it was a real place or not.

You posted a few seconds ahead of me. My response was to the "new knowledge" part of the post or meant it that way any way.

Re: little tidbit of new knowledge.

Dinosaurs died out about 6000 years ago? Well I don't think I believe that one either but who's to say, not like were going to travel back in time to find out . I don't believe anything was documented during that time unless it was on a wall, who's to say when they died out for real. The last sentence I say and I can't remember the earliest documention or drawings discovered from man kind . There may of been a link to the dinosaurs that died out 6000 years ago. We still have the alligators, and crocodiles and sharks, so not all the dinosaurs have died out there just not as big as they use to be, and not as many species of them either.

Nonsense.

I tend to agree with you,but the claim is that about six thousand years ago when the world was created the dinosaurs were created as well.
Add to this 27 million dollars and voila, there is the museum and the truth, as perceived by the person who put up the 27 million dollars, now has its own home to live in.

Who really knows? Many theories out there. No records back then. Educated guess is all you get(theory).

What was, was. Theories won't change that.

Re: little tidbit of new knowledge.

Yeah, many people are out to disprove the evolution theory. If you type into google something like "carbon dating accuracy" you will get a bunch of pages from the creationist supporters saying carbon dating is wrong.

I'm sure there are some paleontologists and geologists that would get a good laugh at anyone that would even entertain the idea of the 6000 year moonshine theory.I mean c'mon. We'd be tripping over dinosaur remains.

6,000 years is based on a 24 hour day. The original Hebrew word for day actually refers to a "period of time" which varies depending on the context in which it was used.

Re: little tidbit of new knowledge.

Thinking of how deep the dinosaur bones have been found in the earth. You really in a sense can't tell how old they are even going by that (how deep they were found).... reason being you have earthquakes, volcano's, bodies of water, and mother nature in general that have been all over this earth over the duration of time. Say some people believe that the whole earth was covered in water so and so years ago. All of these things can berry these bones deeper and deeper into the earth or some of these events can push the bones to the surface for that mater. Some scientist say that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a huge meteor. This is something similar to what I was wanting to find about the layers of the earth.

Hebrew being the language I spoke for 28 years and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem being the place where I finished my schooling,I agree to disagree.

You speak the Hebrew of 6,000 years ago?

The Hebrew I speak read and write is the modern version which is the exact same as the bible scrolls and so is at least 2200 years unchanged although modern words have been added to it.
Old Hebrew and Aramaic are very similar and I can read both.
That would leave the following question. Which language was spoken in the garden of Eden which, we will surely agree, was before the building of the tower of Babylon.

OOPS! Had 6,000 on the brain, should read 3500 give or take.

Well you see, the Creator wiped them out with a series of worldwide catastrophies to make room for mankind. He also burried them deep so man doesn't trip over the bones.
