Dinosaurs  Interesting to many people  Subject of many movies  Subject of many books  Subject of much speculation and misinformation  Often used to propel evolutionary dogma

I. Why Preach On Dinosaurs?  Young people have been taught: –That dinosaurs lived 230 million years ago and became extinct 65 million years ago –That man began to live 2 million years ago and did not coexist with these creatures

Why Preach On Dinosaurs?  Understanding of Creation  Can be used as a tool for:  Atheism  Special creation  Teaching of evolution destroys faith

“A survey at a university in Sydney, Australia, showed that approximately 80% of first year students at that institution ‘believe in a God who is there’. But ‘By their second year only 15% believe in God’. (“The ‘Indoctrinator’,” Warwick ArmstronJonathan Sarfati) Why Preach On Dinosaurs?

“80% of Christian young people who attend state institutions fall away” (Harold Comer) Why Preach On Dinosaurs?

Misinformation: Why Preach On Dinosaurs?  Some say dinosaurs never existed  God placed bones in earth  Ignores all fossil evidence  Ignores historical evidence

Did Dinosaurs really Exist ? YES  Fossilized remains found on all seven continents  Dinosaur graveyards  1993 – South Dakota – heart  Fossilized dinosaur eggs

II. Did Humans and Dinosaurs live Together ?  Difficult for people to accept  Evolutionists have taught that dinosaurs were extinct 60 million years before man

January 1993 “No human being has ever seen a live dinosaur.”

“But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.” Mark 10:6  Dinosaurs did not become extinct before man appeared  Man had dominion over all the creatures of the earth Gen.1:26

Job 40: Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

Job 40: He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

Apatosaurus (“deceptive lizard”)

 Man and Dinosaurs were created on day 6  Lived together many years  Evolutionists are wrong
