Some creationists and Darwinists debate dinosaurs and theories about their existence, their disappearance, and how humans may or may not have coexisted. Creationists believe in the theory of divine creation as recounted in the book of Genesis. This theory is therefore linked to the Christian faith and has been considered a fairy tale by some Darwinists. Darwinists refute the claims of Christian fundamentalists with theories of human evolution using scientific theories and natural observation. Why does it sometimes seem that science and religion cannot coexist? Religion is a process of faith and science is formed on a process of research and analysis of essays. The two theories systematically berate each other rather than finding areas of common understanding. Can the story of Noah and the arc explain the exclusion of dinosaurs and can faith allow readers to accept the existence of fossils? The Holy Bible contains information about individuals who are believed to have lived to be several hundred years old. An example of some of these people include Adam, Abraham, Noah and of course Methuselah. As with today's turtles, humans' lifespans were getting longer and longer. Turtles and other amphibians with a protective shell and/or epidermis can live to be over 200 years old. In addition to their long lives, their bodies grow at a much slower rate. Their organs do not deteriorate or become less efficient with age. As Natalie Angier points out, the lungs, kidneys and livers of century-old turtles are indistinguishable from the organs of an adolescent turtle. (Angier) Most female amphibians reach sexual maturity much later in life than their mammalian counterparts. The ecological development of reptiles is also instinctively linked to their environment....... middle of paper ...... Genesis. Sediments from the flood enveloped them, and due to the massive weight of the water, fossils were created. There is room for reason and religion, science and creation. A person's mythology is similar to the mythology of those around them. The mechanism and approach are the same. It is up to the reader to find his mythology within himself and to follow his happiness.
