Christians and Christian fundamentalists

    Very quick question.

    I was involved in a conversation last week where some non-native English speakers were practicing the language. Anyways, I'm helping them out and from the book we're using asked the question;

    (This was to practice English)

    me: How do you think the dinosaurs were wiped out ?
    Girl: It was the flood.
    me: (not realising what she meant) What flood ?
    Girl: The flood that God sent.
    me: Oh right yeah. (turn to someone else with same question)

    Someone else to that girl: Why did God kill the dinosaurs ?
    Girl: Because they wouldn't fit on Noah's boat.
    Someone else: Some of them would have.
    Girl: The Dinosaurs sinned against God.

    Nearly started a huge row actually.

    Anyways what I'm curious about is this.

    Do most Christians disassociate themselves from this fairytale ? Or do they stand on the sideline ? Or by any chance do they sit on the side of reason along with most Catholics ?

    I tell you what, go away and try reading the Charter. Then, if you have a question and you can avoid calling the Bible a fairy tale, you can try starting a new thread.
