Dinosaurs! Every child is fascinated by them at some
point in their childhood! Some people never outgrow this fascination. Those
folks are called paleontologists! For a paleontologist, whether an amateur weekend
enthusiast, or a full blown professional, there is no greater thrill than to pick a tiny
bone, claw or tooth from a pile of dirt.
Dinosaurs are the one topic that we receive more email about than any
other. And almost every email contains a question about the supposed omission of
dinosaurs from the Bible. Years ago, as a twelve year-old girl, I asked the same
question of my science teacher.
"How
do dinosaurs fit into the Bible?"
I knew that my teacher was a church elder and a wonderful Christian man,
but his reply, a simple, "I do not know", left me feeling confused about my God
and my faith. In fact, the lack of an answer to this question played a part in my
decision not to pursue further education in the sciences. I saw my love for the
Lord, and my interest in science as a conflict between good (Creator God) and evil
(evolution). It was a conflict that I could never resolve in my own mind and heart, so I
just avoided the topic of dinosaurs altogether!
But then I had children of my own, and God forced me to take my head out of the
sand and take a full-faced look at the subject of dinosaurs and the Bible. This web
site is an outgrowth of what I have learned. Opening the Bible and looking for
dinosaurs has been the defining event of my adult life. What I learned has
completely changed the way I view the present world around me, the historical past, and
the unseen future. It is my prayer that God will open your eyes and change your world as
well!
