• According to Evolutionists, dinosaurs lived 235 million years ago and became extinct 65 million years ago. (Man arrived 2.5 million years ago.)

• Dinosaurs are used to teach the theory of evolution along with the idea of an old earth (4.56 billion years old).

• What Does The Bible Say?• Gen. 1:24-26, 31-2:1; Ex. 20:11

– The Genesis account shows dinosaurs were made on the same day as man. Thus, they both were living on the earth together at the same time.

• “Leviathan” – Job 41

You can’t catch leviathan with a hook (v.1). You can’t kill him with a spear (v.7). Leviathan is too powerful and ferocious to be captured by man (v.9). In fact, leviathan laughs at the threat of javelins (v.29). When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. (v.25) When he swims, the water boils with commotion (v.31). Flashes of light and smoke expel from his nostrils like steam coming from a boiling pot (vs.18-20). Sparks of fire shoot out of his mouth (v.21), and his eyes glow like the morning sun (v.18).

• Inca Burial Stones

Discovered in 1930’s, some 11,000 stones have been found with accurate pictures of dinosaurs. They were used by the Inca Indians as burial stones (approx. 500-1500 AD). Historical records also show that in 1570 the Spanish Conquistadors had taken some stones back to Spain.

• Soft Tissue Found In Dinosaur Bone

“A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil has yielded what appears to be the only preserved soft tissues ever recovered from a dinosaur. …

Most fossils preserve an organism's hard tissues, such as shell or bone. Finding preserved soft tissue is unheard of in a dinosaur-age specimen….

’Finding these tissues in dinosaurs changes the way we think about fossilization, because our theories of how fossils are preserved don't allow for this [soft-tissue preservation],’ said Mary H. Schweitzer, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.”

• Soft Tissue Found In Dinosaur Bone

Evolutionists formerly believed that tissue could not remain soft longer than 10,000

years.

WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO NOW?

GIVE UP THEIR THEORY?

Or MODIFY IT?

WhoIs

Right?• EVOLUTIONIST with their theories of

dinosaurs living 235 million years ago, becoming extinct 65 million years ago so that man and dinosaurs could not have lived at the same time, and the idea of an old earth (4.56 billion years old)?

• GOD who said He created dinosaurs on the same day He created man (Gen. 1:24-31)?
