Wouldn't it be cool if when we got to Heaven we had an opportunity to watch the events from the beginning of time? I have wondered about: the population of the planet before the flood, dinosaurs walking on the planet with man, the Nephilim debate, seeing the life of Christ (what His life was like before His ministry), etc.

When false "history" meets death fantasies.
@Mortok: Hell, I'd love to spend the afterlife watching videos of dinosaurs running around--regardless of whether or not early humans were portrayed as being crushed underfoot.
Actually, when I was a kid, I always wanted to do this, too, once I got to Heaven. I'd still like to observe the beginning of time, but there's the whole "Temporal Directive" and shit...
Yeah, and when I die, I want to be able to watch Morgoth build his fortess, Ungoliant devour the great trees, and the forging of the Silmarils.
IF heaven does exist, and IF you do get to go there after you die, and IF while you're there you're allowed to view past events as they actually happened ... you would be in for some major disappointments. "What do you mean, dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago and there was no global flood?! YOU LIED TO ME, JESUS!!"
Then please kill yourself immediately, you'll get to hell faster.
As long as you accept Jesus and repent AFTER you slit your wrists you'll be forgiven and go to heaven.
Do it now!
It would be cool to be able to see what happened in the past, but it's not gonna happen, and even if we could, it wouldn't be the way you think it was, because your version of history is bullshit.
But I think the real thing would be cooler to watch then your fantasies anyway.
As long as you could fast forward and move the view around to where interesting things were happening.
Yeah, it would be cool to get an opportunity to watch the events from the beginning of the time.
Unfortunately for you, there's a giant bunch of really really interesting stuff that happened that the Bible barely even alludes to, and stuff that the Bible just ignores because its writers simply didn't know about that. (The fact that the Bible speaks nothing of the history of the Americas obviously surprises no one, right?)
Sure, I'd give anything to watch from above as the world changes, and see how it changed in the past. I've been fascinated by the way the prehistoric humans got all around the world, and how, say, the Egyptian civilisation and all those other great big cultures and civilisations around them rose.
But in my opinion, that's one giant challenge for people who believe the Bible to be literally true and literally everything there is: One of the big cries you could expect in your mind is "It's so unfair, the people who follow other sources than the Bible have so much more fun and have so much more interesting tales to tell". Don't just stand there and read spotty accounts. Study actual history and you have much more fun.
The dinosaurs walking the planet with man would be the props they used in Jurassic Park. And as far as the flood goes, you are going to be seriously disappointed.
Not that it matters. There ain't no heaven, baby.
Captain Obvious...
Suggesting suicide? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Honestly, all these "then kill yourself" comments to depressed fundies should be entered as fundie quotes themselves.
What's in your Bible that shows any change in life from Jesus' birth, ministry or death. Nothing changed except the birth of Christianity 70 years after the story was said to have occured.
Not even a wonderous age that was supposed to occur on Jesus' dying for our sins, however that blood sacrifice is supposed to even work. By all records, even your Bible, sin has never stopped. The Roman Empire continued to be colonizing bastards, even when it became Christian and no wonderous beacon of light nation ever appeared on Earth.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
