Been reading articles on http://www.drdino.com and I'm like "finally science that makes sense!" lol.

Good lord, what complete garbage that site is. Please don't take that as science-it is a desparate attempt by Biblical literalists to distort true scientific evidence so it fits into their extremely narrow paradigm.

Try TalkOrigins for the real science instead.

I would recommend this in particular: Kent Hovind FAQs
Examining "Dr. Dino"


Yeah, I like that one too. Apparently the man was trying to convert the lion when the lion attacked him. Darwin got the rebound because that man was clearly not evolved enough to realize that trying to convert large carnivores is probably not a good idea.

Oh, do you think evolution can be possible with intelligent design? Like evolution/the big bang is how God made it all? :3

Nope-I don't see intelligent design as necessary or scientifically correct at all. This quote sums up the goal of the intelligent design crowd:

Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools.
-- Phillip Johnson, criminal law professor and leader of the Intelligent Design movement

That is not the goal of science, which is the exploration and explanation of the natural world.

Like evolution/the big bang is how God made it all? :3


This is certainly possible, as we do not know what started the whole process, but this is a separate issue from that of intelligent design.

I don't see that the scientific theory of evolution in any way affects my belief in God, either. The Bible is not a science textbook and should not be used that way. Also, there's that bit about rendering unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's-we should render unto Science what is Science's (things like the age of the earth etc).

I do like this:

Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, . . . and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."
-- St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim"

Lol even though I love English/history I also love biology
All I know is animal systems are too complicated for a God not to be there-whether He made things by intelligent design or evolution!
