The other day, I was having an interesting debate with a biblical scholar friend of mine. You see, he doesn't buy into the whole evolutionary theory, and whereas I admit there are holes in it, that is to say the exact timeline - we cannot know for sure because we just don't have the fossil records for everything - still, that doesn't mean we can deny evolution because we can see it in real-time, we can see the changes, not only in our own species, but in all the others as well. There is enough fossil record to see those changes, and they can't be denied.
Then of course we have dinosaur bones, and despite popular biblical mythology, as was told to me by more than one person over the years, God did not put dinosaur bones on the planet to trick humans and to test their faith. To insist that God put dinosaur bones out there to trick us, or the devil did to get us to move away from God, is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. I hope you don't buy into any of those fantasy theories. My acquaintance asked me; what living evidence do we have that prehistoric animals ever existed?
