Dinosaurs & the Bible

Rating:
Summary: a real attention getter for kids with questions
Review: The Bible and Dinosaurs is an excellent tool to help kids broaden their thoughts about science and the origin of the earth. It encourages them to challenge what is taught as the proven truth, and to search the Bible for real evidence and truth.

Summary: Excellent - what the Bible says about Dinos (dragons)
Review: This book is an excellent book for children ages 7 or 8-12 and gives us the Biblical perspective on what the Bible says about dinosaurs and the age of the earth - much younger than what they will hear in most schools. There are also pictures and full color and black and white drawings for the children to look at while you are reading to them. The book explains that most of the fossils of the world occurred in the world-wide flood of Noah's time, and that Noah took dinosaurs on the ark (baby or juvenile ones of the large types). The book shows scientific evidence that man and dinosaur lived together at the same time: footprints found together in the same layer, cave drawings by Indians of dinosaurs, eyewitness accounts of fishermen and sailors who have seen dinosaur-like swimming creatures in the ocean in this century, including an occurence in World War I. Our attention is also pointed to the fascinating Biblical descriptions of behemoth and leviathan. It also gives accounts of the natives in the Congo of Africa who have seen an animal they call the "mokele mbembe." When these natives are shown pictures of a brontosaurus-like (diplodocus) creature, they become excited and say, "mokele-mbembe!" They do not do this for pictures or drawings of other animals, like the elephant or the hippo. A good way to get kids started - "There was no death until Adam sinned."

Summary: A good laugh!
Review: This is one of the most hilarious books I have read in a long time. I cannot fathom teaching this to a child. Even more so I cannot believe an adult would want a child of theirs to be taught such outrageous nonsense. The only thing this book is good for is a good laugh.
