::...which is part of why I'm skeptical of Biblical inerrantism, Philip.  I find it difficult to imagine anyone using that as their definition, and I find it extremely difficult to imagine that it's the definition God intended us to employ.  There are, after all, a great many creatures other than plants and bacteria which do ''not'' breathe air through their nostrils.

::Us evolutionist aren't saying that dinosaurs didn't eat plants. We're saying that some of them (The dinosaurs) could not have been sustained on a diet of merely plants or plant-like material. As for your example of sheep eating meat, of course some of them would eat meat on some occasions. It's just highly unlikely that a pack of sheep ganged up, chased a deer, brought it down and killed it, then ate it's insides. Sheep just aren't made for that kind of stuff. When you see herbivores eating meat as the main article in their diet, bad stuff starts to happen. Such as when cows eat meat, you end up with Mad Cow Disease: http://www.mad-cow.org/.

::Biblical exegesis is well and good, but I think too many people place too much faith in the ability of modern man to accurately and faithfully analyze linguistic nuance.  --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 18:39, 13 September 2008 (EDT)
