Something that blows my mind about super-Christians

Tweet

My neighbors across the street from me are super Christians. I say that to distinguish them from other Christians in that they take the Bible pretty literally and believe the Earth is like 5000 years old, evolution doesn't happen, homosexuality is a choice and a mortal sin, etc. Anyway, my neighbors and I are friends on Facebook. The other day I saw that the wife had shared a 2 minute video titled "Evolution destroyed in 2 minutes". I was like "sure, let's go!" and I watched it. The best (read: most ridiculous) part was where it showed 80 different types of dinosaurs getting onto Noah's Ark. So, I believe that would be 160, right? 2 of each? Nevermind all of the other creatures who had to fit into that primitively-made wooden vessel. And I'm sure that the dinos went on a voluntary fast during those 40 days so as to allow the other creatures to survive. . . but I digress. Anyway, one of my neighbor's FB friends (no doubt also super-Christian) responded with "I don't believe in dinosaurs". *insert my head exploding* ARE YOU KIDDING ME? We have their bones!!!! We've found almost intact skeletons of some of them! Yes, I agree that what you see put up in museums are plaster models because the bones are so heavy, but the scientists have found actual bones! When my husband and I visited the Museum of Natural History last March, we were able to actually see some of them on display which was super cool. What do they say? "There are none so blind as those who will not see." That's how I feel about the super-Christians and their refusal to acknowledge science. Really? You won't believe that dinosaurs existed? Why? Because "God" didn't mention them in the Bible? Pretty sure he didn't mention vaccines or antibiotics and you are running to the doctor to get THOSE for your kids. See? SCIENCE is real and it works!
