Today's comic was inspired by a recent comment (to my last comic) on Ex-Christian.net. A christian poster made the statement, "There is much science in the Bible". To which, several ex-christian posters responded with various examples of scientific errors in the bible.

"... talking snakes and donkeys", "...riding chariots of fire into heaven", "...holding up a striped staff to copulating goats so they have striped kids", "... the classification of bats as birds", "Floating axe heads", "Walking on water", "Raising the dead", "Commanding the sun to stand still", "creation story", "firmament", etc.

The christian then posted links to websites that actually claim dinosaurs were mentioned in the book of Job and that they lived alongside humans! This is so preposterous that I can only laugh to keep from crying. I guess years of scientific discoveries and fossil evidence mean nothing!

Christians never cease to amaze me with their ability to live in a world so influenced (and enhanced) by science, and enjoy all of the modern conveniences of life that science has made possible, but at the same time reject science when it conflicts with what their ancient "holy book" says.

But didn't you know? Fossils are the Devil's handiwork!

That comic is perpetuating a malicious lie!

Everyone knows that all the dinosaurs were killed in the flood!

That's what they want you to believe...

You have your science wrong! Triceratops don't smoke, Velociraptors do!

(Dammit! I hate it when people confuse that.)

(By the way, I hope that T-Rex isn't drinking TEA like some panty-waist. That would crush it's killer image.)

Actually, I was wrong. I think this is what happened:

That should be "its".

Do these idiots not realize that had humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time, that they would not have existed at the same time? That is bye-bye humans!

Last September's issue of "Awake," one of the Jehova's Witnesses little pamphlets, was devoted to describing how we can trust EVERYTHING written in the bible. One whole section of that rag was about the scientific accuracy of the bible. I am not kidding. The primary example they cited was that the bible does not advocate the using of leaches to cure illness.

So, by their reasoning, not saying something stupid is the same as wisdom.

Of course, they did not cover any of the examples cited by DocMike. The bible's IS scientifically accurate, so long as you bury your head in the sand when faced with things like Radio-Carbon dating, DNA degradation, viral/bacterial infection, and so on.

Actually, leeches have been found to have some medical application, so they're even wrong about that.

Everywhere man has lived, paleontologist have found evidence through artifacts what man hunted and what animals he hunted. There is no evidence through artifacts that lead anyone to speculate man lived with dinosaurs or hunted them. There are cave drawings showing men hunting something that may be an ocean-dwelling dinosaur but the drawings are not millions of years old. It is not impossible that some dinosaurs survived into the time of man but it is impossible to believe that man lived 160 million or more years ago when the planet was dominated by these animals. The reason there is no evidence is because man did not live in the era of the dinosaur.
