65 Million... I Mean 34 Years in the Making

And just like that, my trip to Montana and surrounding areas is wrapped up, and I am back home. Twelve days seemed like forever and yet not enough. Perhaps that's a metaphor for life on this earth, isn't it?

Kind of like the dinosaurs, really. We don't really know how long they lived. We know that Noah brought every animal on the ark, and that would've included them. The book of Job sounds as if it describes them. And several discoveries and dragon legends indicate that they walked with man in some fashion.

And yet, they're gone.

The Bible reminds us that we, too, are but a vapor.

That aside, seeing the skeleton of a T-Rex is something I have wanted to do since I was about six years old. I've always had a fascination with dinosaurs, and my favorite (of course) has always been Tyrannosaurus Rex. Yes, even to this day I am a dino-geek.

I won't lie, I actually got a little emotional standing in front of that fossil. God is good, and sometimes gives us gifts we didn't really see coming, like that moment. Yes, in the museum I was like a kid in a candy shop. Seeing T-Rex was like meeting a favorite celebrity. Thankfully, he couldn't eat me.

But it also saddened me a great degree being there. I overheard a dad mention to his kid about how such-and-such was millions of years old. The signage all over the place was covered in the same kind of language. I joked with my friend about the "inland sea" that "used" to cover North America. Ironically, it covered all of the highest points in the U.S.A. yet somehow didn't cover the rest of the landmass. Of course, I say that in a bit of jest. I'm aware that it isn't as cut-and-dry as all of that, and the Rockies probably weren't fully formed until after the flood. I just think it's amazing that secular science will admit that most, or at least large portions, of the world was covered with water, but a worldwide flood is out of the question. I wonder why that is?

Regardless, it was a nice last day of my trip. I can look at the fossils and the history and ignore the atheistic fluff.

But, I'm back, and now what?

I certainly have my thoughts, but for now it's time to unpack not just my luggage, but my brain and pictures!

So think of this post more as an update than anything else.

Lord willing, I can get to work on the images, as well as some blogs and other upcoming content.
