A Jehovas Vitness told me the bones were put on earth by God to test our faith.

I've met someone who believed that dinosaurs existed but the reason they're not around anymore is because they were too big to fit on Noah's Ark.

No. The hardest core, young Earth Christians Ive met believed that there was a giant bubble of water, of sorts, around the earth in antiquity, which caused a greenhouse effect that the dinosaurs thrived in. (The belief in this is rooted in the mention of a firmament in Genesis)

when the flood happened, according to the theory they posited, the entire firmament came down, which facilitated rapid climate change, so the dinosaurs on the ark couldnt survive after the flood receded

they also use the flood to argue why the fossils are there in the first place, saying that they were rapidly buried and fossilized during the the flood.

No, but my mom believes the pre-flood civilization was more advanced than we are and genetically engineered the dinosaurs for livestock. No, really.

Yes
Something about how scientists can't even decide how long ago they lived. I dont think he quite understood just how long dinosaurs were around.

Also did not believe in evolution because he said it's just adaptation and mutations, so whatever something evolved from should still be called the original species. So we're all bacteria i guess, idk

The last church I was part of, the current pastor says fossils were put there by satan.

The previous pastor said "of course dinosaurs existed, I can see their bones." I liked this much more.

The current one is all about money and power for himself and his family. If thats the kind of church experience people have, it's no wonder they turn away from it.

Pretty interesting he'd call himself a Pokemon Expert what with evolution being a major game mechanic and all.

Previous pastor was great. Preached that God designed the universe, and the rules that it follows. That science is just our understanding of those rules, so we should accept science along with faith.

After some unfortunate circumstances, he had to resign. His replacement is totally 100% about money. If a rich person attends the church, he appoints them official titles and gives them gifts. Meanwhile, those of us who had attended and supported that church for years(20 in my case) were ignored because we were poor. The lengths he and his family go to to get in good with wealth and claim it for themselves is ridiculous. I have family that works with his children in their personal lives, and they just treat everyone as trash.

Yes. She said that the devil put the fossils there to trick humans, and that god allowed the devil to do this - in order to test the faith of humanity.

She also said that halloween was the devils birthday, and that any children who went out trick or treating were falling for another of the devils tricks. Apparently, any child who accepted candy on halloween was actually accepting the devil into their soul.

I was young but I remember thinking at the time that she was probably crazy. She could be right though, I guess.

probably intelligent design believer. "its not really evolution, since god planned it out to happen exactly as its happening", i've seen that general idea thrown around before. its pretty benign to be honest, since it doesn't preclude you from studying the subject either way; keep in mind that even einstein believed in some form of intelligent design.

Oof. That's really trashy -- I don't blame people for having screwed up opinions about religion since I think some of it is deserved as someone who tries to practice the faith.

How could you not if your experiences with said religion were shitty too. On the other side of the coin I do think it's incredible how many people really don't do any work themselves to try and actually learn anything about the religion. It comes across off as incredibly stupid when you consider the source of the worlds problems regarding racism and discrimination of groups comes from misunderstanding of people within said groups.

That's the world I live in I guess
