How do Dinosaurs Fit into the Bible?

Evolution holds that dinosaurs evolved 220 million years ago and died about 65 million years ago from any of a number of possible extinction events, but the

Bible teaches that all land animals, including dinosaurs, were created on the sixth day of creation, just thousands of years ago, and they were all named by Adam just before God handed over his completed creation to Adam and Eve, charging them to take dominion over his completed creation.

Then, about 4 ,300 years ago, the entire world was deluged by Noah's flood, and the dinosaurs, along with billions of other creatures, were wiped out.

Let's take a quick look at some evidences that show that the biblical account might actually be true. First, dinosaurs are cleverly designed.

Consider this triceratops. Its 2 ,000 -pound head is mounted in a way that allows it to turn every which way, yet still be strong enough to ram something, even while running.

What about massive ceropods with weight -bearing systems from hip to toe that allow its 200 ,000 -pound body to even walk, and neck vertebrae that are 90 % filled with air so it can lift up its head?

Next, there's the absence of dinosaur ancestors and transitions. Even this Chicago Field Museum sign admits there have been zero transitions between dinosaur kinds.

It shows question marks regarding where they came from. It's almost like someone just put each basic kind on Earth right at the same time.

There are even dinosaur design features that show they lived in the ideal pre -flood world. Ceropods can exceed 200 ,000 pounds, yet they have tiny nostrils for breathing.

Pterodactyls may have been too heavy to fly in today's atmosphere. Same with huge pre -flood dragonflies. The fossil record is filled with giant creatures and plants.

We know this because there are billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the Earth. And when we look at the dinosaur fossil record, we see that they were buried furiously, rapidly, and simultaneously, oftentimes found fleeing in groups.

Take this massive bone bed in Hilda, Canada. Thousands of centrosaurs were catastrophically buried over an entire square mile.

Or this one in China, where thousands of different kinds of dinosaurs were simultaneously buried in a single 980 -foot -long ravine.

There are hundreds of dinosaur bone beds all over the world, including the U .S., where the Morrison Formation covers 13 states and 700 ,000 square miles.

Thousands of torn -apart dinosaurs are buried here in hundreds of mass graves, with many found in the classic death pose with their necks arched back, choking as they died.

Museum signs everywhere even admit they died in a watery catastrophe. Some dinosaurs are even found mummified, with tree leaves, flowers, ferns, shrubs, and algae still in their stomach.

Dinosaurs are even found buried with marine creatures. Isn't a global flood the best explanation for this?

Scientists have been discovering soft tissue in dinosaur bones. Just in the last 20 years, over 50 articles have been published in scientific journals that have documented 14 bioorganic materials in dinosaur bones that simply cannot be millions of years old.

These include blood vessels, red blood cells, hemoglobin, bone cells, ovalbumin, chitin.

Many dinosaur bones are even found unfossilized in places like Madagascar, Alaska, and Montana.

Collagen, which has a maximum shelf life of about 900 ,000 years at 40 degrees. With a maximum shelf life of less than 1 million years, what's collagen doing in dinosaur bones that are supposedly 65 million years old?

Limited DNA, skin pigments, fex proteins, histones, keratin, and elastin.

Just 20 years ago, most scientists simply assumed dinosaur bones were solid mineralized impressions of bones.

But modern science has now revealed that many of the dinosaur bones are original, even at the molecular level.

Does this evidence seem to support the Bible's recent and violent flood or evolution stories? Kind of makes you think, doesn't it?

Today's students receive over 250 pages of evolution teaching before graduating high school.

We've worked with leading scientists to develop a six -lesson video program that addresses all 10 pillars of evolution and provides evidence that supports the biblical creation account.

The program is great for students who want to become grounded in the biblical worldview on origins and learn how evolution theory doesn't hold up.
