Looks like both.

Well they did live in the same time period. Jesus baptized many dinosaurs and gave them the message of hope. Those that heard and repented of their evil dinosaur ways are in heaven with him now.

"To know the mind of God if there is one is to know what infinity is about and we just can't IME"
Just for an example:
At least in our conception, it can invalidate the linearity of the causality of our timeline, as making the beginning and the end of time a cause of infinity, like in singularity, where no linear time does exists by definition..
This would allow other streams of causations to come into play, like karma, where you can be reborn even in past history (even with having 'free will' !), and where your 'karma'-level is that, what would be considered 'linear', not the timeline, anymore.

Studying the Bible as a child doesn't count for anything. Most adults have a hard time understanding it. And if you studied at a denomonaitional college, like you said baptist...then you were taught legalism more than likely and not what the Bible says for itself...I was forced too as well which is why I went the other way but when I came back and read it myself it doesn't say what they say it does...people are fallible and the Bible tells Christians to check every preachers word with the Word to see if the 2 stand. You can BS all you want but unless you read it a few times cross referencing the greek in questionable areas then I stand on what I said, you trash it only because you don't know what the hell you are talking about....but that is a common thing at the shroomery...nonsense by the threadful....just because it sounds good doesn't make it true....and I am ok with drugs....more against getting shitfaced drunk...
Funny how a book so complex is read by a child and you think you know? Theologists read it over and over only to grasp a lil of the profound insight within...

I think that's a great tie in to the original accusation of organised religion being mind control.
I know of 19 year olds who take bible study classes for kids. And for these kids, they don't really realise what they are being taught. They would see this book as another book, hard to understand but luckily they have a 19 year old telling them what it means.
How could you possibly teach someone beliefs? How can you teach someone who they are? It doesn't make any sense to me....unless you were trying to control people.

Well it's alright riding around in the breeze
Well it's alright if you live the life you please
Well it's alright doing the best you can
Well it's alright as long as you lend a hand
