Also discovered are several cave paintings showing battles between men and very large animals. Un-like any creatures known to exist today, these pictures from many different time periods, depict an age where (what we now call) Dinosaurs and Humans did indeed roam the earth together.
Much evidence suggests that people and dinosaurs lived together, not separated by 65 million years or more, as evolutionists believe:
Many historical accounts of living animals, which were known as ‘dragons’, are good descriptions of what we call dinosaurs – such as Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus and Ankylosaurus. The video, The Great Dinosaur Mystery documents some of these.
The account in Job 40 of behemoth sounds like one of the big dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus or Brachiosaurus
Un-mineralized (‘un-fossilised’) dinosaur bones.1 How could these bones, some of which even have blood cells in them, be 65 million years or more old? It stretches the imagination to believe they are even many thousands of years old. Un-fossilised dinosaur bone
Rocks bearing dinosaur fossils often contain very little plant material – e.g., in the Morrison formation in North America. This is another indication that the strata do not represent eras of life on Earth. If the strata represent an age of dinosaurs, what did they eat? A large Apatosaurus would need over three tonnes of vegetation per day, yet there is no indication of significant vegetation in many of these dinosaur-bearing strata. In other words, we see buried dinosaurs, not buried ecosystems or an ‘Age of Dinosaurs’.
Many fossils and artefacts have been found ‘out of place’.2 That is, they are in strata that the evolutionist says represent a period of time when, for example, that organism did not live, or human artefacts could not have been made. There are plenty of examples; some published in respectable journals before the evolutionary paradigm became locked in. Such examples do not get published in modern standard evolutionary journals, possibly because it is inconceivable that such could exist in the evolutionary world-view. In another context, Nobel Prize winner Sir Fred Hoyle said,
‘Science today is locked into paradigms. Every avenue is blocked by beliefs that are wrong, and if you try to get anything published by a journal today, you will run up against a paradigm, and the editors will turn it down.’
Are there other ancient records of Dinosaurs?
British historical
documents from ancient times to the 1900’s record encounters people had with
dragons—and many of the descriptions fit well-known
dinosaurs.3 The emblem of Wales (United Kingdom)
is a dragon.
Many historical descriptions of ‘dragons’ fit specific types of
dinosaurs.
In the film, The Great Dinosaur Mystery, a number of dragon accounts are presented:
Conclusion
People down through the ages have been very familiar with dragons. The descriptions of these animals fit with what we know about dinosaurs. The Bible mentions such creatures, even ones that lived in the sea and flew in the air. There is a tremendous amount of other historical evidence that such creatures have lived beside people.
