Go to church to learn about dinosaurs!!!
I agree that the church 's information on dinosaurs has become much more pro-Dino as of late, with the very leadership of the church itself changing to suit the times.

But a call to action to use the church to answer questions that aren't on spirituality and morality? An interesting idea, AIG. Nevermind that empirical science has disproven the stories again and again, let's all go and hear the story about seven people on a boat with every type of animal ever on it.

what?
sorry but the biblical story talks about a reshaping of the earth. This was a time the earth was reshaped, people dispersed 'magically' and laguages created instantly. In that story, you can't really rellie on typical or understood geological procession. What we do know is, the Biblical town of Ur which was prior to be believed mythical, was discovered. We also know it was flooded out at the time in which the bible said it was. No about the reshaping of the world. tht's something to be honest, couldn't really assessed completely. But the science indicates anomalous strata that we're still trying to understand. Also, consider that cavemen and primitive man did exist. As it is, Cain did have descendants. Given the profound wisdom in the book of genisis, let's assume the writer was so stupid as to overlook this fact. did they spring out of the ground? Let's look at history. We know man had a huge influx of cultural expransion when? 5000 years ago. Everywhere. we have limited stuff prior to that. That data is a bit confused. things we were adating at 10,000 BC are being re evaluated. They change the dates by 1000's of years every other year or so. IT should be common knowledge that it's not precise.

Origin of myths
The cultural revolution you are talking about there is part of the Agricultural revolution... the change from hunter - gatherer societies to farming societies. These societies gathered around rivers because the periodic flooding of those rivers led to fertile soil (this is where Ur was built, so flooding would not be unexpected).
What profound wisdom are you talking about? The one where every living thing is created out of thin air? Or where two of ever species is packed onto a single boat for over a month?
