Dinosaur History

A detailed Summary of Dinosaur History

When dinosaur bones were first found they thought that they belonged to giant lizards. The word "dinosaur" came from the Greek words deinos, meaning "marvelous" or "terrible," and sauros, meaning "lizard." The larger dinosaurs must have seemed to be terrible to the smaller animals. Some of the first dinosaurs were only about as big as a small dog. That is how big the horses of that time were. Over the years, as the dinosaurs aged, they grew to be much more large in size. The sizes of dinosaurs ranged greatly, all the way from two feet long to one hundred and fifty feet long. They weighed as much as fifty tons, which is seven African Bull Elephants. We first discovered the fossils and bones shortly under the surface of the Earth. After scientists got more into the study they started to dig deeper down. The fossils get so deep because of the years of

rocks and dirt that were piled up on it. Some also get buried if a dinosaur were to die next to a river, and over the years the river probably changed courses a little, so therefore the bones would

be covered up. They would actually be in the bank of the river.

The Evolutionary theory states that everything evolved over millions of years. Evolutionists say that dinosa

rain. Scientists theorize that darkness and acid rain caused plant growth to cease. As a result, both the herbivorous dinosaurs, which were dependent on plants for food, and carnivorous dinosaurs,

That is how dinosaurs came to be. Then finally the dinosaurs died off and little, furry, four-legged creatures appeared. These animals were called mammals, which then took over the world. Then

"For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." - Exodus 20:11, John 1:3. Those are the words from the Bible. What that says there is that God created everything on Earth and that includes Earth itself, therefore dinosaurs had to have been created by God, which proves evolution wrong. Dinosaurs are even mentioned in the Bible, of course not by the term "dinosaur". It uses the ancient name "behemoth". One of the Bible's description of a dinosaur is in Job 41:15-24. Job is a very old book, probably written around 2000 B.C. Here God describes one of the larger dinosaurs. It is said to be describing a Brachiosaurus. It is a giant plant eating animal with strong bones. There are tracks in Texas that are embedded in hard rock that show that dinosaurs and man walked at the same time. There is one human track and one dinosaur track seventeen inches apart. It is evidence that shows the thought that dinosaur and man never saw each other may be wrong. From the facts here I believe that the
