![]() They believe they can solve any of the supposed dinosaur mysteries and show how the evidence fits wonderfully with their ideas about the past, beliefs that come from the Bible. Other scientists, called creation scientists, have a different idea about when dinosaurs lived. Scientists only find the bones in the here and now, and because many of them are evolutionists, they try to fit the story of the dinosaurs into their view. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists’ story about the past. ![]() They only uncover dead dinosaurs (i.e., their bones), and their bones do not have labels attached telling how old they are. However, scientists do not dig up anything labeled with those ages. ![]() According to evolutionists, the dinosaurs “ruled the Earth” for 140 million years, dying out about 65 million years ago. The story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Of course, some dinosaurs were very large, weighing in at an estimated 80 tons and standing 40 feet high! The average size of a dinosaur, however, was probably about that of a large sheep or bison. Some were as small as chickens, and others were even smaller. Crocodiles “waddle,” as their limbs project sideways from their body. Dinosaurs would have moved like a cow, with the limbs supporting the body from beneath. For instance, compare the way a crocodile “walks” with that of, say, a cow. Most other reptiles have limbs in a sprawling position. Dinosaurs had posture that was fully erect, similar to that in mammals. Other than the huge size of some dinosaurs, the major feature that really distinguishes dinosaurs from other reptiles (such as crocodiles) is the position of their limbs. By 1841, about nine types of these different reptiles had been uncovered, including two called Megalosaurus and Iguanodon.Īt this time, a famous British scientist, Dr Richard Owen, coined the name “Dinosauria,” meaning “terrible lizard,” for this is what the huge bones made him think of. Dr Mantell realized there was something very different about these animal remains, and believed that he had found an entirely new group of reptiles. The story of their discovery began back in the 1820s, when Gideon Mantell, an English doctor, found some unusual teeth and bones in a quarry. Scientists have been able to reconstruct many of their skeletons, so we know much about how they may have looked. The truth of the matter, however, is that there are no real mysteries at all, once you have key information that is not generally known and is withheld from the public.Ĭome with me as we take a walk through history and uncover some amazing facts that will answer many of your questions about these “terrible lizards.” Did Dinosaurs Really Exist?ĭinosaurs certainly did roam the Earth in the ancient past! Fossils of dinosaurs have been found all over the world, and their bones are displayed in museums for all to see. Numerous books and movies have been produced to satisfy a seemingly insatiable hunger for information on these puzzling creatures. Where did they come from? Did they evolve? Did they really live millions of years ago? What happened to them? Are there any living today? Has any human being ever seen a live dinosaur?Ĭhildren and adults alike are absolutely fascinated by these mysterious monsters. An aura of mystery surrounds the dinosaurs.
