flying spaghetti monster? Are you kidding me? I don’t think there’s any documents or books that date back as far as the Bible and are as accurate as the Bible. Try reading the book of Job. There’s so many things mentioned in that book alone that could not have been known by people, unless God brought it to light. Fresh water springs feeding oceans, deep trenches in the oceans, dinosaurs(40-42), yes dinosaurs not whales or hippos; many of these things we didn’t know until much, much later.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
dinosaurs in the bible?
YAY! HATE MAIL! It’s been so boring without it…
“many of these things we didn’t know until much, much later.”
what a load of uninformed crap.
The FSM just made it seem that way, to trick us. He’s got that sort of sense of humor.
What? No profanity, no insults, no threats, no telling us we’re going to hell, no caps lock, no mention of homosexuality, no misspellings? *shakes head*
I think we’re tiring them out.
Does it ever really occur to these people that maybe, just maybe, somebody just made the Bible up? I mean, if you read a book written in a 3rd-person omniscent view point, no one really assumes the book was written by God. It’s just a person making up a story, and in the case of the Bible it’s not even all that good. It’s really rather boring, however it can be amusing at times. Ezekiel 13:20 “And the Lord God saith: Behold, I am against your pillows”
“I don’t think there’s any documents or books that date back as far as the Bible”
No, of course there aren’t! The Egyptians, Greeks, Babylonians, and all of those other ancient civilizations certainly didn’t write anything- anyone who says otherwise worships Satan and probably eats babies as well.
Apparently our schools aren’t so big on the details of ancient history.
You mean a sane person wrote a book with the title “Job”? I laugh at thee.
Don’t forget about where lightning comes from lighting, god’s voice in thunder, and of course, the storehouses for the snow and the hail. Someone who tells you to read the Book of Job obviously hasn’t read the book of Job. Throughout the book, Job makes good arguments that he has been found guilty even though he’s innocent and god isn’t there to tell him what he’s accused of. All he wants is to talk to god and face his accuser. And then of course god gets pissed and starts yelling at him. The main reasons, according to god, to believe in him are: snow, hail, lightning, thunder, the zodiac, the pillars of the earth, and of course, the fact that the water knows to stop on the shore and not go any higher. Amazing. Now that we have a scientific understanding, I guess there’s no reason to believe in him anymore. FSM, of course, is beyond that. We have actual scientific data backing up our beliefs.
Also, it’s not dinosaurs. It’s clearly referring to a crocodile and a whale. If you actually read it in context and don’t listen to inmate 06452-017, I mean, Kent Hovind, it’s obvious what is being talked about. Either that, or dragons.
I know, your tired of Trolls and stupid comments life by stupid people. (such as myself) I have to add though, Penguins are my friend. =(
Actually there are quite a few books and other documents that far supersede the bible in both antiquity and accuracy. Both from that area, such as the from the ancient Greeks and their contemporaries as well as from other areas such as the Indian sub Continent, etc. etc. So your holy babble is far from unique and compared to other books or documents is largely garbage interwoven with the odd accurate historical and geographical fact. In fact, what your holy babble is based on was only put together a good few hundred years after the supposed Jesus died from a hodge podge of documents of, ta the gvery least, questionable authenticity. Similarly, even the books of the apostles weren’t written until quite some time after he died and are full of contradictions, like much of the rest of the babble. So please, don’t display your biased historical ignorance for all to see. Similarly, if you want to know about the holy babble you are far better off asking your average atheist than the average xian. The majority of which are completely ignorant of their precious holy babble, which they prove time and time again, except perhaps for any bits that support their particular bete noir. Such as those that use selected bits of the babble to support their bigotry against gays, though even then the average xian relying on those versus will be unlikely to know exactly which ones they are, simply parroting what their particular holy authority figure tells them. So crawl back under your rock why don’t you, or better still, go and get a proper education.
Remember kiddies. If someone wrote something down a long time ago, it has to be true.
Erin. Your shift key seems to be a bit sticky. You should clean that out. Not capitalizing makes your arguments seem to be a bit infantile and trite.
:)
i never capitalize my name. i think it’s pretentious.
Epic of Gilgamesh, I-Ching, Papyrus Ebers: way older than bible.
.
Encyclopedia Britannica, Grey’s Anatomy, Principia Mathematica: far more accurate than bible.
.
I have called your bluff, sir.
And we love you for it, Bobby!
*shakes head in disbelief at OP* *sigh*
I can’t belive i’ve only just heard about the flying spaghetti monster, it’s bloody hilarious, but at the end of the day it has the same amount of evidence that other religions do, count me in!

Hahahahaha. Nice one. But it isn’t just Kent Hovind. Have a good laugh at Conservapedias explanation:

And while you’re having a laugh you can also look at their view on kangaroos:
.
http://www.conservapedia.com/Kangaroo
They mention 69 species of kangaroo yet they also state that they all came from a single pair on board Noahs ark and that “After the Flood, these kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia.”. So A single pair produced 69 species in a few thousand years. Even we never gave evolution that much credit!
Where in the bible are dinosaurs mentioned Erin?
@ erin:
Let me get this straight. You’re telling us to abandon the great deliciousness of the FSM to become faithful and devoted servants to your god, and your sales pitch is the book of JOB!? You need to work on your marketing skills. Just look at if from our perspective: If we were as devoted to your god as Job was, wouldn’t we be treated just the same? Next time try a happier book, perhaps one in which the protagonist doesn’t have to endure misery, torment, and agony the entire time.
.
Furthermore, the only contribution to the collective wisdom of the species that the book of Job has given us is this basic test: If you want to know if someone is depressed, you can tell them that you want to talk about the Bible with them, and if they agree, ask them to chose the book. If they chose Job, then you usually know.
