The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible

Children of all ages love dinosaurs. They are fascinated by them and will soak up anything dealing with those creature of old. A question that usually arises when discussing dinosaurs with children is, "what happened to the dinosaurs?" This book answers that question in the most logical and plausible way. The book is quite informative not just for kids, but for adults as well. It explains how dinosaurs fit into the Biblical creation, exposes flaws in many popular scientific theories, and illumines the validity of a Judeo/Christian world view in science. Yet, the book is quite simple to read and understand and does not become bogged down in superfluous scientific jargon. An excellent read.

I found this book to be very useful in explaining dinosaurs to my childern in a way that is consistant with my Biblical beliefs. It answered my own questions and I recommend it to anyone of any age. It is a great tool for reinforcing what we know to be truth.

This book is similar to David Unfred's book about the Bible and dinosaurs (dragons, monsters, serpents), and both are good for children if you want the Christian perspective on the matter. See what Genesis says about how young our earth is. See what happened to the dinosaurs and many other animals who became fossils (in the great flood of Noah's time). Man and dinosaur did live together, but climatic changes after the flood and hunting brought on their demise (or at least the demise of most of them). There is still evidence that their may be some of these creatures in the oceans and in remote parts of the world. The Biblical mentions in Job of behemoth and leviathan open up a whole new perspective for Christians who were not familiar with this and the truth of Genesis is upheld. There are color and black and white illustrations for the children to look at while you read to them. This book and David Unfred's book "Dinosaurs and the Bible" are both good. They address generally the same topic, but each brings out some different aspects on the topic (see also my comments on Unfred's book as they would apply to this book, also). I highly recommend both to parents. "There was no death until Adam sinned."

When one criticizes this book it is no doubt because they don't understand that many Christian children are being fed disinformation in school, on tv and in movies. The book clearly explains (and proves) that dinosaurs did indeed exist after the flood and were not unknown to the writers of the Bible. It is not a book per se about evolution, but works well as a companion to the subject. Once we realize that dinosaurs are not as old as we're often told, the theory of macro-evolution is shown to be just that--- a theory, with no secure basis in factual history. I have owned a copy of this book since 1989 and frequently use it as a teaching aid, its bountiful illustrations rivet children's attention. But it is also useful for teens and adults who question the historic accuracy of the Sacred Scriptures.
