If you find this hard to believe, then you have been deceived! There is clear, collaborative Biblical and scientific evidence for this reality, and it is only because of a multitude of lies that anyone is surprised by it. These lies are the result of the Theory of Evolution (a widespread cooperative fantasy, which could be aptly described as ‘The Intellectual Rebellion of Man’).
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” Psalm 14:1
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1 Corinthians 1:20
This theory, which is utter stupidity and easily disproved (see immediately below),
For an in-depth Biblical, moral, logical and scientific debunking of the Theory of Evolution, read “The Second Most Incredible Book . . .” (available free on this website). For a quick, logical debunking of this theory, read the poem “True Brilliance, Evolution Exposed” (in the section, ‘Poetry with an Attitude’).
is a blatant attack on the Bible. Unfortunately, while both God and His enemies understand this,
God’s Word: For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
An atheist’s understanding: “It becomes clear now that the whole justification of Jesus’ life and death is predicated on the existence of Adam and the forbidden fruit he and Eve ate. Without the original sin, who needs to be redeemed? Without Adam’s fall into a life of constant sin terminated by death, what purpose is there to Christianity? None. . . . Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of god. Take away the meaning of his death. If Jesus was not the redeemer who died for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing!” G. Richard Bozarth, American Atheist Magazine, Feb., 1978.
many of His children do not.
THE EVIDENCE:
Without re-writing the book or the poem (mentioned above)—both of which disprove the Theory of Evolution—this article will simply list the collaborative evidence—scientific and Biblical—showing that dinosaurs were on the ark.
I. God created the earth, the universe, and everything in them in six (24-hour) days.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but He rested on the seventh day. Exodus 20:11
And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
Symbiotic relationships between the sun and plants, plants and insects, etc., require that all be here at the same time. They could not have taken millions of years to evolve.
The earth’s crust formed and hardened in less than .001148 second, as evidenced by the presence of polonium-214 radio-halos found in granite samples around the world.
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. Genesis 1:9
II. He did this approximately six-thousand years ago.
Adam was created on the sixth day of creation week. (Mark 10:6, Genesis 1:26-31) / There were 1,056 years from the creation of Adam to the birth of Noah. (Genesis 5) / There were 600 years from the birth of Noah to the flood. (Genesis 7:6) / There are an estimated 1,500 years – based upon 25 generations from Noah to King David of Israel who’s kingdom existed approximately 1000 B.C. (Luke 3:31-36) / There are an estimated 1,000 years from King David to the birth of Jesus (1000 B.C. to 0 A.D.). / There have been approximately 2,000 years since the birth of Jesus (0A.D. to 1998 A.D.) / / Calculation = 1,056 + 600 + 1,500 + 1,000 + 2,000 = 6,156 years.
Here is a sampling of the measurable evidence which shows that the earth and the universe are thousands of years old—too young for ‘Evolution’ to have occurred: 1. The strength of the earth’s magnetic field and its’ rate of decay. 2. The pressure of oil, gas and water in the ground and its’ rate of depletion. 3. The presence of short period (short life expectancy) comets in our solar system. 4. The population of the earth and the rate of growth. 5. The amount of helium in our atmosphere and its’ rate of deposit. 6. The size of the sun and its’ rate of shrinkage. 7. The decrease in the speed of the earth’s rotation and the slipping away of the moon. 8. The amount of river sediments in the oceans and the rate at which it is being deposited. 9. The amount of volcanic debris in the earth’s sediments and the rate at which volcanoes are ejecting it. 10. The speed of continental erosion and the current size of the continents. 11. The amount of metal deposits in the oceans and the rate at which it is being deposited by rivers. 12. The speed at which the earth is cooling and its current temperature. 13. The amount of meteoric dust on the moon and the rate at which it is being deposited. (For a list of over 100 evidences, acquire: “The Illustrated Origins Answer Book” by Paul S. Taylor / Eden Communications, 1832 South Macdonald, Suite 101, Mesa, Arizona 85210-6134)
III. He created mankind and all land animals on the sixth day.
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. / Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,. . . / And there was evening, and there was morning–the sixth day. Genesis 1:24,26,31
There are domestic animals—such as sheep and chickens—which can only survive by dependence on mankind.
IV. We know that dinosaurs existed because of their fossils.
V. The word ‘dinosaur’ is not in the Bible, as the word wasn’t invented until the 1800s. The words ‘behemoth’ and ‘leviathan’ are in the Bible.
VI. The Bible says that the behemoth was the greatest animal that God made.
“Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. Job 40:15-19
VII. Since the behemoth was the greatest animal that God made (and it’ tail swayed like a cedar), and sauropod-dinosaurs leave the greatest fossils (and they had long enormous tails), we can assume that behemoth is what we would classify as a dinosaur. (Sauropods were the giant four-footed animals with long necks and long tails.)
VIII. The behemoth and the leviathan—which today would be called ‘dinosaurs’—existed along- side of humans for thousands of years.
Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. Job 40:15 / Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope? Job 41:1
There are written historical accounts of people—including Alexander the Great and Saint George—encountering giant reptiles, which we would most likely classify as dinosaurs. These accounts come from the Welsh, Saxons, Danes, Vikings and others around the world. (P.S. The telling of the encounter of Saint George has been greatly altered at times to include much fantasy.) The “Thunderbird,” made famous by the Sioux Indians of North America was based upon the sighting of an enormous winged reptile. There are ancient cave paintings of dinosaurs, mammoths, etc., indicating that the people who painted them were familiar with these creatures. There are legends from around the world, telling of encounters between people and creatures matching the descriptions of dinosaurs. These legends come from Egypt, France, China, Scandinavia, Ireland, India, Babylon, etc.
IX. While some dinosaurs grew to enormous sizes, all were very small at birth. The largest ones—the sauropods—came out of eggs which were from five to six inches in diameter.
Some reptiles continue to grow in size throughout most of their lives and the extremely long life expectancy before the flood explains the size of some of the dinosaurs. Sauropods–the largest dinosaurs found in the fossil record–came out of eggs which were from five to six inches in diameter. For a reptilian comparison, consider that sea turtles lay up to 200 eggs at one time. Assuming this mass of turtle eggs could be one-fourth the size of the mother, one egg would be 1/800th the size of the mother (1/4 divided by 200 eggs). A six-inch egg, laid by a dinosaur 800 times the size of the egg, would give us a dinosaur 400 feet long. According to National Geographic Magazine, Dec. 1998, thousands of sauropod eggs/egg shells were found in an area less than one square mile (in Patagonia, Argentina).
X. God sent to Noah, two of each ‘kind’ of land animal—to be kept alive on the ark during the flood. Logically, he would have sent small ones.
Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. Genesis 6:19, 20
XI. The Book of ‘Job’—one of the books of the Bible—is an account of events which occurred after the world-wide flood. The behemoths—the ‘dinosaur kind’ which God referred to while speaking to Job—had obviously survived by being on the ark.
Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. Job 40:15
LIVING DINOSAURS:
Remember what was said at the beginning of this article; ‘that it is only because of a multitude of lies that anyone is surprised to learn that dinosaurs were on the ark.’ When we know the facts, this is not surprising. Likewise—if we know the facts—we will not be too surprised if National Geographic or Omni Magazine find dinosaurs still living in the Congo. (Look up “Mokele Mbembe” on Wikipedia.com.)
In the Ndoki (en-DOE-key) region of the Northern Congo in Africa, there are 7½ million acres of dense jungle and treacherous swamp into which the natives of this area seldom venture. Some of these natives report that this is the home of an animal they call “Mokele Mbembe.” They describe it as being brownish-gray, smooth skinned, much larger than an elephant, with a very long tail as powerful as a crocodile’s. National Geographic and Omni Magazine have planned expeditions to search for this animal.
FIRE BREATHING REPTILES:
Nor, when we know the facts, should we be surprised to learn that ‘legends’ from ancient China—about fire breathing reptiles—are not all legends.
God created the ‘electric-eel,’ which can produce potentially lethal amounts of electricity (860 volts and 1 ampere of current) which it uses to defend itself or to stun its’ prey.
God created the ‘bombardier-beetle,’ which defends itself using a boiling—212 degree F. (100 degree C.) chemical weapon—which it fires via: an explosion—producing smoke—and can be aimed in any direction.
God created the leviathan, which could breathe fire. [Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds. His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth. Job 41:19-21]
THE REASON FOR THIS ARTICLE:
Before concluding, there is an extremely important point which needs to be made. This article has not been written to get people excited about dinosaurs. It exists to show you that you can trust the Bible,
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, . . . 2 Timothy 3:16
but, that you cannot trust the world (the people of the earth).
Let God be true, and every man a liar. Romans 3:4
The majority of the human race is in rebellion against God—and under Satan’s control—and they are not speaking truth.
We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 1 John 5:19
We should not, therefore, be surprised when man’s lies (the Theory of Evolution or the various false religions) are exalted above God’s Word (the Bible).
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
Nor should we be surprised when a majority of the earth’s population ends up in Hell.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:10
What we need to do, is to ensure is that neither we, nor the people we care about, get caught up in the lies, or swept away in the destruction.
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6
We need to learn the truth—as revealed in the Bible—and speak it boldly.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Eternity is a long time to be wrong!
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” Matthew 25:46
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14
