And if it’s wasteful, that’s not characteristic of how an all-wise God would create things because they’re to no purpose, these things of the past that have come and gone. Like the dinosaurs, what purpose? We don’t have them anymore. Cy Kellett: They’re awesome. That’s the ...
This is clearly Dawkins’ way of restating his view that there is no God, because God’s universe is quite different from Dawkins’. God’s universe is of course created by God with superintelligent design, purpose, meaning, and no evil when created. God created it so he could show love...
She loved pirate ships, dinosaurs, outer space, big musical numbers, tornadoes, lost cities in the Amazon, monsters in the oceans, utopias in the wastelands. She loved the things that fascinate children, when they first realise just how big and how impossible the world they’ve been born int...

When we draw dinosaurs, we give them monstrous skeletal grins – but we lose the way they might have skittered over the water, their happy waddle, and the laughter of their song. Birds have always been signs and portents; the ancient Greeks had the same word, ὄρνις, for bird ...
People often think fossil fuels are made of dinosaurs, but any dinosaurs in our gasoline are from the last couple hundred million years—the later stretch of the timespan—and only a small contributor. The largest portion of our fossil fuels comes from plants, animals, and algae that lived ...
Ho, ho, ho, ho. What is that? Oh my God. Is that actually the best move in the position? That move violates most human chess principles that we have been brought up with? You shouldn't push ponds in front of your king. You should not weaken an area of the board ...
“I don’t know (that) a kid ever rode on a dinosaur,” he told me, “but I want to make this statement: that they lived at the same time.” His sources? There are two. The Bible, which he interprets as saying God created dinosaurs and humans on the same day. And a supposed ...
