Creationists are now claiming that not only did the king of dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex exist but are insisting that it was a vegetarian.
Paul Taylor of Creation Today has put forward the wizzo theory on the site “Creation Today” that T-Rex was a vegan until humanity “sinned against God.”
For a long time, some Creationists have insisted that the dinosaur bones were put in the earth by God to test people’s faith. The idea that their God liked messing with their minds was preferable to the concept of giant lizards. Others claimed that since the bible mentioned that giants had been wiped out by the Great Flood, that these were certainly dinosaurs.
Taylor has gone one stage further and actually placed dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden, which was not actually in the version of the story we read as kids we seem to remember that there were more mammals.
Anyway, having watched Jurassic Park and worked out that humans are not going to come off very well if Tyrannosaurus rex was in Eden, Taylor has had to adapt his theory a bit.
He insists that the huge dinosaur was a herbivore, despite its predatory tendencies.
God did not create theropod dinosaurs to eat meat, and gave some of them sharp teeth so that they would be able to do so, Taylor said.
However after Adam and Eve ate that apple, the Tyrannosaurus rex discovered that it could use the teeth to eat people and other dinosaurs.
Just because animals have large sharp teeth doesn’t mean they are meat-eaters, he explained.
You mean that they evolved to eat meat? Surely not Mr Taylor. Anyway Taylor and his ilk want these stunning scientific discoveries he is making taught to children in schools as alternatives to evolution. http://www.sodthe.net/t-rex-was-a-vegetarian-claims-creationist/]
Per Taylor:Quote:
"One thing is for sure: the theropod dinosaurs were not created to eat meat. God created all creatures to eat plants, and he gave some of them sharp teeth so that they would be able to do so. Some of those particular mechanisms of different sorts, including teeth, may have changed after Adam’s sin so that such creatures could eat meat.”

Such nonsense has been common place in YEC lunacy.

Just occurred to me...creationists are right wing, and there are MANY creationists, so just like "The Left" thinks Obama is a god (or IS God), then The Right all believe God created the earth in seven days, dinosaurs lived alongside humans, and evolution is a myth, yes?

Dunno about the validity of "58%", but yes, there are a lot of Christian conservatives believe some variation that dinosaurs lived w/ Adam and Eve, or were around before the flood, etc...

Now, now... you know how cranky the rightwing faithful get when you apply their own tortured, circular logic to them!
So, keep it up!

What's funny, is that even as I agreed ( in part ) with Niki's silly logical conclusion, storybook keeps up the mantra that I somehow am 'cranky' on the matter.
It's clear that storybook is merely reacting on a preconceived, predetermined point of view of trying to vilify me, no matter what.
A true sign of a childish mentality.

Did I mention you?
*checks*
Nope. Learn to read, son.
Then again, you did still try and talk your way out from under Nikki's point. I wonder if you even grasped it?
Here, let's simplify for the idiot: Following the tired "logic" you so often employ, you are a Creationist. Period. By your own reasoning.
Glad we cleared that up for you.

You were talking about me, with out naming me specifically.
You know it. You're just too much of a coward to admit it.
That you continue to carry on w/ the false narrative and insult me further only proves me right.
And you as being pathetic.
Well done.

T.Rex and other predator teeth have been found embedded in the bones of many a plant eating dinosaurs, as well as other T.Rex !
The article stating that NOW Creationists are claiming t-rex was a vegan lizard , is some what misleading. They've been promoting such tripe for a while now.
In spite of their ferocious look, many people would probably argue the T-Rex was a vegetarian. The ferocious teeth would have been great for, you know, crushing stuffed pumpkins or something, you know. I don't know if it has ever been proven they were meat eaters. There is plenty of evidence from cracks in the enamel with chlorophyll stains in them indicating they were certainly eating plants.
