OK, so yesterday morning I posted that ridiculous AI video of an ark excavation. How about another stupid video?
That’s straight from Answers in Genesis. It’s official dogma at AiG that all the dinosaurs were vegetarian. And they still rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars from the rubes.
Meanwhile, the fully articulated and intact skeleton of Cuvier is spinning in his grave.
Does AIG push all humans to ‘go back to being vegetarians’? Since that is what we were before the Fall. Right?
Just how incredibly stupid can creationists get? As incredibly stupid as they were when they started shoehorning dinosaurs into their young earth fantasies as early as the mid 1970s’.
Well, actually giant pandas are on the wrong diet.
Not that AiG wants to know anything about facts, though.
I’d say that with the loss of that gene that drives the appetite for umami (and therefore meat) in giant pandas, AiG’s god shows a very twisted sense of humor.
Although perhaps not as twisted as killing off nearly all those souls it created, because some of them behaved in ways it didn’t approve of. It couldn’t foresee that humans, given “free will”, would not always follow the rules? How omniscient…
Us humans were the original and only carnivore, all those animals were created just for our consumption. The ones selected for the ark were of course the tastiest. The flies, worms, skunks, spiders, and roaches, mmm, mmm good! Next time a Christian finds a tick on their dog they should follow their god’s intent, just pluck it off and pop it in their mouth.
Which brings to mind the idea that cannibalism was also intended by god. I mean the guy’s name wasn’t Ham by accident was it? The OG “dark meat” slow smoked. Mmm, and I had thought that banana slug might be best…
… enjoy the Halloween seasonings!
About 20 years ago now, I worked with a guy who was a big AiG and Kent Hovind believer who started telling me about how T-Rex used its teeth to crack open coconuts before the Flood. Coincidentally, this was shortly after Sampson, the most complete T-Rex fossil on public display at the time had been on tour through my state, which I’d gone to see.
So a couple of days later I showed up to work with some coconuts I’d gotten at the grocery store and showed them to him, then showed him the picture I had of myself standing next to Sampson’s head, which made it very clear that despite not being a small person I could have easily fit inside Sampson’s mouth. He got the idea. Don’t think he ever stopped listening to AiG or Hovind, but he stopped trying to talk to me about it, which I took as a win.
if god didn’t intend for us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?
Gen 1:30, cited in video: “And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that creeps on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food.”
Plants, they know what they did.
Creationists, including Dumb Idiot Ham and his cronies, always parade certain supposedly carnivorous animals (like lions, alligators, and certain types of piranhas) that were shown to eat plants rather than meat to make the made up fantasy case for all animals being plant eaters before the alleged Fall of Man in the mythical, creationist tale. Never mind that the animals only do this to supplement their carnivorous diet. All while at the same time deliberately omit the many instances of vegetarian animals occasionally eating meat to supplement their diet of veggies and greens because that would wreck their made-up young earth fantasy image.
Supposedly vegetarian animals like hippos and deer who occasionally eat meat to supplement their veggie diet.
Also, nudists.
Well… Genesis 3:7

They’re hung up on avoiding sin rather than pursuing what God called “good”.
AiG – What Would Jesus Eat?
You have permission to compound the world’s suffering. You won’t be disobeying by eating meat, so it’s fine either way.
AiG – PETA’s “Vegan Bible” misses the whole point
Modesty requires BLOOD!
AiG – What Does Jesus’ Death Accomplish?
Jesus could’ve fixed the world back then, but nah, he’ll get around to it later.
AiG – Just be good for goodness’ sake
That’s suspiciously specific PZ! Have you checked it recently? ;-)

Hey! Look – you are what you eat.
T. Rex ate vegetarians, ipso facto are vegetarians. I am slowly becoming salt and sugar.
