Y'all make me sound like a damn heathen!!!
I said I almost believed. Its just that nobody has ever been ever to answer my questions. When I do question them, they get all pissy like PCO did!! Where are the dinosaurs at in the bible dammit!!! Or were they a NEWSJUNKPCO government conspiracy too?
I keep tellin' y'all - it's HEATHERN. And there's lots of things not in the Bible. Volkswagens aren't in the Bible, for instance. But if you mean in the distant past only, then things like the Ice Age and other ancient goings-on aren't mentioned, either. I don't think the Bible was meant to be an all-encompassing historical document.
Is that the only reason you don't believe, or are there more reasons?
There are more reasons but lets be honest, the whole dinosaur thing was a pretty big deal. These giants roamed the earth, science has proved that. Then, they all died!!! More questions to come.
Agreed. I just don't see how that not being in the Bible has anything to do with whether or not the Bible is true. After all, according to dictionary.com, faith is

The second article IF referenced is quite interesting re: the dinosaur problem. Also, and apropos of nothing, this discussion made me think of the Giant Monitor Lizards (aka Komodo Dragons). 10' long, 4' tall, and eat men and goats. GAH!!!
