Let me get this right, god made the world and then he made man in his own image, so far so good, can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me where the ell did the dinosaurs come from that roamed the Earth for 250 million years long before we were even thought of?

Why do you think that god is human or has human attributes? If you had a bronze age Haynes manual would you think it needed updating before you fixed your car? Well the Bible is bronze age Haynes manual. It needs to be taken in context from the time it was written. Forget verbatim.
As for the dinosaurs, it would appear that something decided they would never make the grade and scrapped them in favour of mammalian life.

It tells you he made man in his own image, and as for attributes, bible says he craves love, is jealous, spiteful, vengeful, hateful, forgiving, caring and sometimes even makes bad decisions. Couldn't be more human.

At least you dont think there is a god in the sky listening to prayers joe, but as to your belief in a god as the origin of the universe, i think there are other theories worth considering before you wheel in a big man in the sky zapping things with his fingers lol.
Last year, a Lithuanian Lady came to my door step, she looked very sad, yet remained composed, and spoke softly in little English she spoke, explained to me how she is trying to raise some cash for her daughter, who needs Chemotherapy in her country, and she gave me a figure that so far she has managed to raise something like 5K and needs a little more so that her treatment for cancer can begin.
I looked at her saw some tears in her eyes, still had some doubts in my heart if she wasn't just shedding crocodile tears, using her daughter as an excuse to beg for money. But then i thought, those tears may be worth a fiver, so just gave her a fiver! I also told her if she wanted help f0r her daughter, she should offer her prayers to God, and I will do the same for her, I asked if she believed in a God, she said yes she comes from a Christian Orthodox family, and that she would pray for her won daughter.
I gave her a fiver and wished her daughter well and recover from her cancer, and promised her that I would pray for her too, but as for money I could only offer her a fiver as I had my second thoughts about her story.
Today she came back, I recognised her straight away, she said she came to thank me for my money I donated and for my prayers for her daughter, who is now in remission from cancer.
She then said, thats it, I just wanted to tell you the good news, and basically came to thank me. She said she lived down the bottom of my street, which i did not know, as I had not seen her regularly. She told me which house number she lived in, and I asked her if I could pop in to see her daughter, and she said sure, so i will be popping in to see her soon, if necessary if she needs more cash help I am willing to offer her some more money, this time a good deal more, as I won't have my doubts.
As I said God works in mysterious ways, he always help those who ask for his help with full faith, and he arranges others to send his help, I have no doubt that when I donate some money God will provide me many times more so that I could continue to help others in need.
Praise be to God. Amen

More like a NHS tourist ffs.
Very unlikely Joe, if she was an NHS tourist, she wouldn't ask for donations, further more, a small amount of pounds go a long way in Lithuania.
TBH, when Is aw her today, I thought for a moment whats her game, has she come back to beg again!
But remember, God helped her, she prayed for her daughter and actively went out seeking funds for her daughter's , God does not throw bank notes from heaven, one has to go and get them from people with good hearts and not necessarily religious people, lots of good Atheist also help such people, it is God who makes them do that, ha ha!
I'm in the process of refurbishing a house, it's been on the market for a couple of weeks and I've had two viewings but no offers, please god hear my prayers and send me a cash buyer and I'll even give you a cut of the prophet, I'll throw the money in the air, what stays up is yours the rest is mine....

That one made me laugh, thanks MFL, although I'm not bringing in a regular wage much to Mrs Preds chagrin, I'm still a month or two off completion but house prices are doing quite well here so no hurry just yet, maybe even a rich Bosnian will come along in the new year..
No God would allow this thread to last this long.
