As a martyr, I do, because I saw them in Jurassic Park.

Which dinosaurs and which of our human ancestors? And in which period are you referring to for the walking together? There were some which were said to not only walk, but also flew. with and without feathers, over the earth?

You seem to, typically, lack in details. The way some questions are put is just as impo ...[text shortened]... utually inconclusive if either lacks the necessary details.

Happy New Year to you, nevertheless.

The way some questions are put is just as important as to how some answers are given.

Let me try this “way” then…

Do you believe that humans and the creatures we now refer to as “prehistoric dinosaurs”, have at any time co-existed on earth?

How do you personally understand and contextualise the (proven) existence of Tyrannosaurus rex?

Happy new year sir.

The way I understand it, based on artistic depiction of the beasts, is that the poor creatures' fore hands (paws) were to small to hold their very large heads.

I have personally bought toy dinosaurs for my children and grandchildren. One cannot buy anything which does not exist.

I first learned of the ex-existence of dinosaurs when I first saw the movie, Bringing Up Baby. And I was no more than a child myself when I saw the movie. Not to mention that I'm still a fan of the Flintstones, no less.

Bones and fossils are good examples of what the law considers as being "hard evidence."

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

I suppose it's alluding to the fact that humans walked the earth along with the smaller descendants of those giant creatures, the smaller dinosaurs with feathers?

Yes, "According to recent findings, it appears that the earliest human ancestors did coexist with dinosaurs. However, these were not the massive lizard-like dinosaurs we often imagine, but rather small, tree-dwelling mammals that were warm-blooded and had feathers. These creatures, which are considered the closest living relatives to the extinct dinosaurs, lived alongside dinosaurs during the Mesozoic Era, which lasted for nearly 165 million years."

I bet the vast majority of people think they know what the dinosaurs looked like, why, because they have seen one, no! Someone, as you said, drew up a depiction and made exhibits for viewing in museums, TV shows, and movies.

So what is going on is dinosaurs are just one more large group of life that suddenly appeared and disappeared, with a large story explaining it. This has been repeated in the culture so often those that who don't accept seem the odd ones out.

Oh! You're funny, or more dense than I imagined. Details, details, details.

KellyJay, if he was speaking to you, he would tell you that the devil is in the details.

If you’re too embarrassed to answer, that’s understandable.

I don't find that.

But that's like, science and stuff.

Somehow I doubt that.

Why do you do this?

Do what…

Ask questions ?

You know! When enough bones are available, and put into place, it's like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When you have enough of them, although not all of them, one can begin to draw pictures and conclusions.

The Bible draws enough pictures, using words, which can bring many to the wrong conclusions. We don't have all the pieces of the largest and most complex puzzle ever created, the physical universe. Everyone can be an artist by using their imagination to depict what seems to be the picture we all want to see.

If God wanted everything to clear and good, he would have done so. But he has made a game of it, a mysterious one. Or more to the point, a singularity. A singular staged Play, one full of comedy and tragedy, and both veiled in mystery. However, in the end, he promised to reveal his mystery to his creation. Therefore, as the final curtains begin to fall, the Son will finally ride into glory as the promised Messiah, but not on a donkey this time, but on a white horse. Dressed in white, as a warrior with sword in mouth, and the flying cavalry right behind, he will save his people, as promised. However, the Hebrews are only a representative sample of his people, because we are all children of the Most High, God, the Father. However, I'm also one of those drawing his own conclusions here, and now.

The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

White light is made up of many colors. To see the colors, and then use them to draw your own images and conclusions, you can use a prism. The standard number is 7, seven-color spectrum which can vary slightly, depending on the angle of view. Or the angle of the story.

I suppose the 7 day week is a refraction of a standard truth. Not that the Hebrew Bible was first with the 7, but it did confirm the standard with the creation story. Jesus also said he's the light, the truth. However, Jesus is just a reflection of his Father. Still, no less true, it's just that his Father is a bigger and brighter white light, and also a bigger mystery than the son. However, as Jesus is said to have said, "if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. The problem is that no one has seen Jesus as he was meant to be seen, otherwise they would get to the Father....to get to know Jesus' Father. Who is the Father? Perhaps Joseph was really Jesus' father, physically.... the physical Jesus. The spiritual Jesus, the Soul that wore the body is God's son for certain, as I believe, but I don't have an ounce of evidence, let alone hard evidence.

You won't believe it, let alone understand it, as I'm lecturing rather than simply answering. But you seem to have difficulties understanding my intentions, especially with my "because" and the Wizard of Oz. I was, on one hand, attempting to put on the brakes on moonbus, to partially sustain your thinking on reasons and causes, and their differentiation, to reverse the course which, hypothetically, caused a car accident.

Wishing you a Very Happy New Year. Hopefully 2024 will usher in material prosperity, as well as an abundance of evidence for the promised end of this physical world of pain, hunger, disease, tears, and death, most of all. And like any other good story for children, we'll all live happily ever after.
