First off, I reject evolutionary theory and it's Christianized half brothers and sisters. I know there are Christians who embrace it, I know guys like Spurgeon was a fan of the gap theory. But since this is my blog I'll go on record as leaning towards Young Earth Creatiionism (admitting there is still a lot of questions and too many nuts).
But awkwardly forcing Jesus into every nook and cranny where at best it is a non-issue and at worst is silly is damaging to the claims of Christianity.
We have no record of Jesus riding a dino. We have no need for Jesus to ride a dino. Nor do we have a record of Jesus playing soccer w/ kids or bench pressing the Cross.
Why can't we let Jesus be power w/o being a gym rat, a lover of children w/o being the permissive weekend Dad and the ancient of days without being a dino-cowboy?
The answer? We are a people who want to reverse the imago dei. We don't desire to celebrate being made in the image of God. We want God made in our image.
Either that or we are a bunch of shallow rednecks.
