In the parable of the sower the question was asked the master, 'Didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?' The master answered, 'An enemy hath done this.' [Matt. 13:27, 28.] All tares are sown by the evil one. Every noxious herb is of his sowing, and by his ingenious methods of amalgamation he has corrupted the earth with tares." Manuscript 65, 1899 (Manuscript Releases, vol. 16, 247). Elizeusz, here is the full comment and reference: “Not one noxious plant was placed in the Lord’s great garden, but after Adam and Eve sinned, poisonous herbs sprang up.

Thanks! Well I guess my theory of huge mammal like creatures is not going to work. But I agree with you that they were probably much more "beautiful" than artists have depicted them. I imagine that one day we will see what they really must have looked like and all the dinosaur mysteries will be solved! I looked at the links. Thanks!

Not all, but in a couple cases at least. I like to think that dinosaurs and their kin may have been very colorful. I think the drab, ugly depictions of dinos in the 1900s is mostly the fault of poor imagination. Just as there are some beautifully colored lizards and snakes, there is no reason to think dinos came only in solid tones like brown and gray. Most paleontologists seem to believe that dinosaurs would not have had fur, because they have so many reptilian characteristics, and fur is unique to mammals. Besides that, of all the skin textures found, there is evidence of scales, but no evidence of fur. Still, fur being what it is, it is possible some may have had some fuzz that was not preserved in fossil form. If only someone would find a fossilized CD-ROM of digital pics! :-D Staci, you might enjoy these articles:

I have often wondered about the dinosaurs too. That quote about the mammoth animals was new to me. Interesting. What I have often wondered is if the dinosaurs didn't look more like animals today with fur rather than like scaly reptiles. Of course we find them only as bones so who is say they didn't look "friendly" rather than like huge lizards! I enjoyed this post. I have often wondered about the dinosaurs too.
