Perhaps the educational system failed your greatly in terms of scientific basics and critical thinking skills, or perhaps you simply prefer conspiracies, anti-scientific theories or ideologies that claim to be true because they fall outside evidence based consensus. In either case, it's unfortunate nevertheless.
When you assert that evidence for the flood is all around us, it's simply not true. In fact, there is no evidence at all that would suggest a global flood. If scientists thought was was such evidence, they would be pursuing it to great degrees in hopes of making an incredible discovery. They would not be attempting to "cover it up" as you asserted.
You referenced the origin of the word dinosaur. It's a combination of the Greek words "deinos" and "sauros" and first used in around 1841 by Richard Owen as a means to categorize a certain family of fossils, which he coined "dinosauria". He invented the term to describe large reptiles that lived hundreds of millions of year prior. He realized these fossils were deserving of their own distinct taxonomic grouping; as there was no useful utility in ambiguous labels.
The subject of giants killing soldiers in Afghanistan is the product of conspiratorial and supernatural sites around the web that have been spreading said nonsense for years and have yet to provide even a scintilla of proof. I'm astonished [although I probably shouldn't be] that anyone with even the slightest level of cognitive reasoning would believe such a thing.
Finally, when you assert that the Bible should be taken more literally, does that include instructions on owning your fellow human beings, treating women as second class citizens, forcing rape victims to marry their assailants and killing unruly children?
Are you a teacher Lucidus? Just wondering, you sound like one who likes to teach this BS to children?
The Bible is History, it isn't just written in stone. It is written in your heart, it is the word. Not something you should take so lightly.
I am astonished a man of such intellect could think that everything in the Bible is about hurting women and raping them and killing
them. This is where you go out of line and do not understand what the meaning of life is. Life is a test. It isn't supposed to be easy.
BTW, back to the thread. I saw a cool vid of UFO's flying in and out of volcanoes before, was pretty damn wild. They must be lava
proof. Don't know what metal they have on their ships but they wouldn't be flying in and out of volcanoes if they were flammable.
