The Lord is my Park Ranger

I don't look to the Earth Sciences to cast light upon Grey's "Elegy" or Kipling's "Recessional" nor would I go to ancient scrolls for questions of  Geochronology. The story of Jonah isn't a proto wildlife documentary. Science and thinking like a Scientist has only been a part of human culture for a couple of hundred years.

Science and Poetry deal in different notions of time and veracity. They are two completely different tools we use to perform two completely distinct tasks.

The Bible is a divinely inspired text from the dawn of modern human ethical consciousness, attested to by many individuals from many times and cultures. Theologians like Thomas Aquinas and St Augustine have provided guidance concerning apparent inconsistencies and temporal knots arising from what we in the 20th Century might call the "Science VS Religion" debate. A hypothetical showdown between Batman and Anne of Green Gables would give rise to a far more coherent, and likely far more interesting, contest of ideas.

I don't acknowledge that such a "debate" can even arise from the under pinning axioms of either sphere of human endeavour. .

I found this image this morning and I liked it, probably for the opposite reasons Young Earth Creationists do.

Jesus .... yup .... Dinosaur .... hhhmm sure. Whats not to like ?
