Because Dinosaurs became extinct long ago, many people are naturally curious about their fossil remains and the well oiled legends which go along with them. As they hear these theories, some begin to wonder if the supposition about evolution could possibly be true. And with the constant bombardment of propaganda from nature shows and Paleontologists, this confusion is somewhat understandable. But it is never an excuse for a Christian beginning to doubt scripture. One of the problems with man is that when he hears the same teaching presented as fact over and over again, he will inevitably start to believe it. Particularly when he never hears the other side of the story. But the theory of Dinosaurs predating man is simply a house built upon sand. In other words, it has no firm foundation. But as long as no one examines it carefully, and nothing comes along to test the structure to show it faulty, it appears to be standing firm.
The simple truth is, "if one's assumptions are wrong, then his conclusions will also be wrong." And when Christians begin to put more stock in the word of men than they do in the Word of God, then their priorities are skewed. More than that, they have abrogated their allegiance to the Word of God!
A lot of Christians make the statements that they do about Dinosaurs because they "assume" that there is overwhelming scientific evidence not only about the age of our planet, but about when Dinosaurs and man came upon the scene. This is the great evolutionary deception of the scientific community. For true science is based solidly on facts, not assumption, presupposition, and theory. Of course they throw in some facts, but what holds their theory together is the "assumptions and presuppositions," not the facts. Without these assumptions, the facts just lay there meaningless. What many do not understand is that carbon dating relies heavily on assumption, and presupposition of things like the consistent rate of decay over time, the starting makeup, etc. They are assuming things that they don't know in order to arrive where they want to be.
For a Christian to believe in evolution, he must either, (1)Not know what evolution means, (2)Not understand what Christianity means, or (3)Both! Either God was not telling the truth when he said all the animals and man were created on the same day, or Dinosaurs and man co-existed. One or the other is true, but not both.
Paleontologists and nature shows of course don't give equal time to anything which contradicts whatever theory they profess is the truth, and most don't even call it a theory anymore. It's almost impossible to get any unbiased information from any of these shows. And yet it is called science! At best we can read their papers ourselves to understand the other side of the story. But of course few people these days like to read, and more just wouldn't have the time to sift through scientific journals. There are some Christian scientists who give us the other side of the story, but in general America and indeed the world, gets their information from television and schools. Therein lies the problem of how this theory is now expounded "as if" it were a fact. When you have only points, and no counterpoints, it's easy to get people to believe what you're saying. To make a real decision on what is true, you not only need to hear what they say is occurring, but what others say about their flawed methods, why and how it scientifically cannot be. And that's what you don't hear. Be not deceived.
There were Dinosaur footprints found in the same stream bed as that of man, but as the years have passed, there are now concerted efforts by some to proclaim these footprints must be some kind of mistake, or they were made by an ape man, and even that maybe the dating process was wrong or that it's not a man's footprint at all. Why? Simple, because they've already come to their conclusions, and so they will not be confused by the thought of a man's footprint with dinosaurs. When it contradicts all they stand for and have been saying, it automatically must be wrong! Therefore, they set out not to scientifically examine it, but to prove it wrong. Many christians parrot the line put forth by these people accepting their words as facts because to them it "seems" to be correct. People have blind faith that what these scientists and Paleontologists say is true (since we're not scientists ourselves), but it's misplaced faith. Humans tend to repeat things that sound good as if they were parrots. That's why we have so many false doctrines being accepted today as truth by so many deceived people. Because people don't bother to check anything, they simply reason, "..that sounds reasonable, so it must be right," and accept it simply by hearing it enough.
Dinosaurs are a case in point. They are simply exotic animals, more of what we now have on this planet now. Simply because an animal is huge or becomes extinct doesn't make it a prehistoric beast that must have been a product of evolution. We have all sorts of Beasts that would appear prehistoric to us had we never seen them before. Can you imagine what you would think if you had never in your life seen a Rhinoceros because it died off years ago, it's bones had become fossilized and then were dug up? You would be astonished by it's appearance. It would strike you as something of a great Wonder! Even an Elephant (if you had never seen one), would appear an exotic and wondrous beast. If it had died off about 5000 years ago and then someone dug up a fossil of an elephant, you would be at the mercy of those scientists from just a few bones telling you how it moved, what it's flesh consisted of, and how it lived. They could paint any scenario of how these creatures camouflaged themselves by standing near rocks, or ran rampant killing everything in their sight with their tusks, or that they were docile creatures. ..whatever they said, we'd all look at the picture of this beast they construct and say, "Yeah, that looks like an animal that would do that, it must be true". i.e., our ignorant and unconscious acceptance of the faith which says, a scientist said it, so it must be true! We are at the mercy of whatever they imagine. And this is what scientists do with Dinosaurs. They dig up fossils and they tell you they lived millions of years ago, and how they lived, and what they did, and people take it as fact or near fact, simply because it seems right. We act as if nothing ever becomes extinct, when in fact animals and plants are becoming extinct all the time. The Buffalo almost became extinct. This is no great revelation or evidence of anything particularly peculiar.
It's not a fact that Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and died off before man came on the scene, It's a cruel hoax, and a rejection of God's Word! Man and beast were made on the same 6th day according to God. Now who is going to Argue with God but scientists wise in their own conceits, and those who follow their word "as if" they were the all knowing being.
