Dinosaurs Today
An assistant pastor was speaking to his
pastor about us before we arrived. "No, you don't understand these people
are not just showing up in a Honda Accord with a briefcase and a Bible asking,
'Where's the prophet's chamber? We're here to preach a revival.'
These people have dinosaurs onboard and they are going to be hatching stuff in
our backyard."
In 1841 Richard Owen coined
the term "dinosaur" which means "terrible lizard."
And as discussed in Seminar Session #2 in the pre-flood world everything
lived longer, in most cases hundreds of years, and therefore grew larger.
Keep in mind that reptiles never stop growing. Are
dinosaurs in the Bible? Yes, they are. See
Session #3 for two hours of information on this topic. We have
several children's DVDs on these
animals. Creation for Kids
(two-hour, mini seminar for those 9 to 15), Dinosaurs, and What is Science? Order
online now. Check
our itinerary (conference
schedule) and see
if we will be at a church near you. You can
also visit pet stores and possibly see one or more of these post-flood
dinosaurs. |
Owen is a vegetarian and he is about
seven years old. We
named him Owen because Richard Owen first coined the term
"dinosaur" or terrible lizard back in 1841. The first dinosaur
fossil ever assembled looked just like an iguana; therefore, they named it
an Iguanadon. Owen is the modern day descendant to the dinosaur we
commonly call the iguanadon. He now lives with a family in
Richmond, Indiana.

Sandy
is a bearded dragon.He eats veggies, fruits and small rodents and
crickets.Sandy is the modern day descendent to the anklyosaurus
dinosaur. In this photo he was three years old. Most lizard books state that the
bearded dragon is the closest lizard that could be considered a pet.Bearded dragons are very friendly and docile.Notice how similar Sandy is to
the toy anklyosaurus.

Rhodee
is a Chlamydosaurus, commonly known as a frilled dragon. Originally
from New Guinea and Australia these modern day dinosaurs have
become prized pets. She feasts on mice, crickets and other rodents. Her
temperament is much like that of a dog, and she is quite affectionate.
Most
people are familiar with the frilled dragon as the dinosaur who spat at
and killed the big guy in Jurassic Park as he was attempting to
steal the dinosaur embryos. She does open her frill while she chews
and when she is protecting her territory.

The
Newmans are a green, basilisks. These lizards used to be quite rare, but we have seen them in pet stores in
Houston, Texas; Gary, Indiana; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Harleysville, Pennsylvania.
|
Perry is a brown,
male basilisk. He is a very good-natured reptile. The brown
basilisks are fairly common and inexpensive. They, like Rhodee, eat rodents and small bugs. Notice the resemblance between the Newmans and Perry
and a parasaurolophus
or sailfin. Notice the crest on the back of each of their
heads.

Misha is a Russian Tortoise.
The evolutionists say that the turtles and tortoises were alive during the
time of the dinosaurs. Of course they were, but that doesn't mean 65
millions years ago. The 10 Commandments declare that everything was
created at the same time (six days). Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4
indicate that Adam and Eve were here from the beginning of the
creation. Through genealogy we can determine this to be
approximately 6,000 years ago.

Kincaid
is a Chinese water dragon. He delights on a range of insects. Notice his name
includes the word DRAGON! Notice that the scientific name for many
reptiles include "saurus". |
