Exactly. Take the logic in believing God planted fake dinosaur zones and this is the implication, that God enjoys playing tricks on us that make us worse off. Its all very confusing.

Grew up with lots of hard core creationism, but hearing about the "planting fake dinosaur bones" thing a few years ago just absolutely blew my mind.

However, I guess if you think any deeper into the idea of a literal Genesis 1, that's about the only explanation for dinosaur bones.

But then again.... What does that say about believing in a God that would trick people like that? Yikes.

Wait ... Actually the flood thing reminds me ....

I've heard some creationists claim that the flood messed with the age things *appear* to be.

And I think that's an alternate explanation for things "appearing" to be so old.

But still..... Dinosaurs and humans living at the same time? Still hard to believe that serious people believe that. Creationists or not. ЁЯШм

Especially since there are ancient cave paintings of animals, and not a dinosaur among them. You'd think someone back then would have made an image of something so amazing.

That's before you talk about him doing collective punishment and killing off the whole human race with a flood (allegedly)--to include all the babies on the earth at the time. Seems like a real cool guy. Makes Hamas and ISIS look like humanists by comparison.
