Did Dinosaurs Live With Man?

Yes, but were you being sarcastic in post #1?

By the way, you do know, don't you, that those Peruvian drawings of men and dinosaurs together have been identified as the work of a Peruvian peasant living in the 1950s? I mean, you've researched this enough to know they are fakes by now, right?
Oh! Were the Ica stones in the video? They're one of my favorite hoaxes!

To be honest the "stegosaurus" looks nothing like a stegosaurus and the "plates" on its back looks like someone just continued the border pattern seen on the rest of the carving.
The other "dinosaurs" are much to vague to make out as anything specific. :sarcastic

Also, it's not as if Ankor Wat is lacking in strange carvings and statues.

A... thing? Of some kind? I dunno...

Sorry for being sceptic but I think we'll need a little more than that to "revive" dinos to a newer date. ;)

The story goes [aka, it is written in the Vedas]:

At the end of "Kali-yuga" [aka, the last of four ages, as per the Vedas; which arrives once every 4,320,000 years] . . . gradually as the age of Kali-yuga passes by (kali lasts 432,000 years; of which 5,000 have passed) mankind will eventually become reduced to pygmies and will eat their young; whilst, retiles will grow to be giants. This is due to a bio-ological de-evolution due to loss of all spiritual & mental insight and an over-abundance of concominant of NON-LIFE-Sustaining bio-diversity [Yes, IMO, Alfred Hitchcock & Micheal Crieton probably read the Vedas too.]

I've often heard that the "plates" on the top/around that figure are leaves in the background. Additionally the figure appears to have ears and a horn....:eek:...Now that doesn't sound anything like a stegosaurus.

Yeah... one would really have to be grasping at straws to think of that as evidence that humans and dinosaurs lived together... :facepalm:

...uh, where in the Vedas does it say THAT?!

De-evolution is a biological impossibility.

Hybrid critters are pretty common in mythology... this one looks like it's part cat... though the pic isn't the best quality.

This is a Rakshasha... a demon common to Hindu and Buddhist mythology. :rolleyes:

I thought the Rakshasha had the head of a tiger?
O well, maybe that is supposed to be the head of a tiger... :sarcastic

I think the tiger-head thing is specific to the Monster Manual. Rakshasas make up the primary antagonists of the Ramayana, and as far as I've seen, they aren't described as having tiger-heads.

I'm confused now. I thought you believed that Genesis is literally true, and that belief was important to you. No?
I don't believe the days were litteraly 24 hours long but rather epochs of time where certain things happened within those periods/times. Much like the scientific view Timeline of evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When it says God made something, it may allow for the possibilty that they evolved to eventually get to the state they are in now, or in the Genesis account.

Right. The human mind is full of interpretation to that which it sees but does not understand.

Case in point:




Is that a helicopter, spaceship, plane, flying car, submarine etc. in the picture or is that what the mind is telling us through interpretation of the visible data? When you research this gem it become quite clear it isn't any of the above.

This is just an example everyone.....I don't want to start a new conversation taking the thread off course.

So you do accept the Theory of Evolution? Or not?
