Dinosaurs: Figment of Someone’s Imagination?

Several weeks ago, a co-worker asked me about something he saw on the Discovery Channel. Apparently, a woman who had successfully fled a polygamist cult was interviewed on TV and made the statement, “After I escaped the group, I could then believe in dinosaurs.” My friend asked me what this lady meant.

I explained that some fundamentalist churches actually believe that dinosaurs did not exist in spite of the plethora of archeological proof that is on display in hundreds or even thousands of museums around the world! These people preach that Satan has placed fake dinosaur bones in the earth’s layers so that our faith in the Bible will be weakened!

The rejection of the validity of dinosaurs is (at best) well-meaning, but it is also quite absurd. These folks ignorantly feel that, if you believe that dinosaurs once roamed the earth, you can’t believe in the Bible. Not true.

== The existence of dinosaurs does NOT disprove the Bible!

== The validity of the Bible does NOT disprove the existence of dinosaurs.

We have just recorded a broadcast for Dynamic Christian Ministries which looks into the Genesis Creation account. It shows that Bible believers do NOT have to fear scientific discoveries. In fact, many of these discoveries actually prove the accuracy of historical accounts that are found in Scripture!

I hope you will take the time to watch this broadcast. I think you will find it interesting and informative.

In future broadcasts, we are going to study various topics in the book of Genesis--topics such as giants, fallen angels, cave men, Neanderthals, the pre-Flood world, and Noah’s ark.
