if Dino's don't exists who's been giving the public talks every Sunday for the last 100 and some years!
ROFLMAO Yeeeees, the British Museum tours... how archaeology proves the bible true... i dont think ANY archaeologist denied the existance of Shishak in the first place... ... they were poor to say the least, but they made a change from going to the KH (but we still had to go the next day regardless anyway)... It was the Meander brothers that organised them http://www.meander.co.uk/... check it:
Any person respectfully dressed can join The British Museum tours.
The Bible Land Tours however, are limited to Jehovah's Witnesses only. Immediate relatives who are not Witnesses can join the tours provided their conduct does not offend our Christian conscience
I had to do one at the Louvre Museum in Paris as well when my grandmother visited me there... they took this one statue of a guy hanging on a tree to prove that Jesus died on a stake not a cross.... pity they ignored all the crosses......

the bible doesnt mention them at all. so what the hell? God created all things, and that include dinosaurs. The universal teaching that dinosaurs have been extinct for "millions of years." - the usual question asked in school is: "What caused the dinosaurs to become extinct?" Instead, it should be: "Are dinosaurs extinct?" The Bible explains history from the beginning of creation about 6 thousand years ago. A public school child is told, over and over for years, that these fascinating creatures all died "millions of years ago."
The word "dinosaur" is a relatively new word, coined in about 1850.
Before that, the common word was "dragon" and there are thousands of stories in early history of men dealing with dragons. We have assumed that these were mythological creatures, the stuff of fairy tales. But many of them are told as serious history and primitive art is full of pictures of men fighting, riding on and making beasts of burden of dinosaur-like animals.

Noah carried some baby dinosaurs on the ark along with all the other animals. After the flood, the climate changed and the large ones, which depended on lush, swamp-like environment, could not survive.
Smaller ones became more scarce as man populated the earth and only survived in the ocean and large, deep lakes such as Lock Ness or remote swamps such as the huge Likouala in equatorial Africa. Today, they are like the grizzly bear, only a few are alive in remote wildernesses far from civilization.

But is there any real proof that dinosaurs are still alive and well today even in remote areas?
I heard that dinosaur DNA was extracted from bone material, which means it can't be hundreds of millions of years old. -
Happy Guy :)
Hibiscusfire I am curious about some of your comments:
Noah carried some baby dinosaurs on the ark along with all the other animals
I don't recall mention of Noah taking "baby" creatures on the ark (please feel free to refresh my memory of the biblical passage) so how do you know this to be true?
After the flood, the climate changed and the large ones, which depended on lush, swamp-like environment, could not survive.
How do you know the climate changed after the flood which illiminated "lush, swamp-like environments" around the globe. And if they were illiminated around the globe then at what point in time did these environments return since they are abundant globally in tropical zones?
Smaller ones became more scarce as man populated the earth
Since many small creatures have survived as man populated the earth why did the smaller ones (dinosaurs) not?
Today, they are like the grizzly bear, only a few are alive in remote wildernesses far from civilization.
If what have said is true, that they are like the Grizzly bear today, then why do I not see them when I am visiting the garbage dump in Alberta, Canada? Grizzly bears are not far from civilization, as you claim, rather they can be viewed along side civilization in the U.S. and Canadian west. Even where I live (in Central Canada) we have recently had the very shy and timid Black bear venturing into the Greater Toronto area (population 5 million) in the last two months. We have not had to call the local Animal control for the dinosaurs (yet).

If you do not count the relatives of the dinosaurs, you can savely say they are extinct. Because all remains that have been found are very old. Not recent.The Bible explains history from the beginning of creation about 6 thousand years ago. A public school child is told, over and over for years, that these fascinating creatures all died "millions of years ago."
Hibiscusfire, Do you mean to say that everything that God created is only 6000 years old? The whoe universe only 6000 years old?

Greendawn: But is there any real proof that dinosaurs are still alive and well today even in remote areas?
I heard that dinosaur DNA was extracted from bone material, which means it can't be hundreds of millions of years old.In March, 1962, five teenage boys rode a small boat to a partially submerged shipwreck off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. They planned to explore the wreck with scuba gear. They encountered a storm that drove them off course and when they got back near the shipwreck it was foggy.
Hearing some strange animal noises, they watched a large head with teeth and green eyes, appear out of the fog several feet above the water on a long neck. As the "sea monster" moved closer, the boys panicked, grabbed their swim fins and dove into the water to try to escape to the ship.
One of the boys, Edward B. McCleary, lived to tell how, one by one, his buddies screamed in agony behind him as he swam for his life. McCleary made it to the ship and was rescued the next day. The body of one of the boys washed ashore several days later. He had drowned, but an intense search found no trace of the other three. The final assumption was that they had been eaten by the sea monster.
This is just one of many incidents related by Dr. Kent Hovind in his Creation Science Evangelism video series. Hovind claims that there have been over 20,000 sightings of "prehistoric" dinosaur type animals in the 20th century. In his video #3,Dinosaurs and the Bible , he shows photographs of other sea creatures that have been caught by fishing boats or washed ashore. He holds interviews with witnesses who describe, in detail, seeing dinosaur-like animals. Natives in remote Amazon or African jungles have been shown pictures of dinosaurs and immediately pointed to ones they have encountered and even killed.

Danny: Do you mean to say that everything that God created is only 6000 years old? The whoe universe only 6000 years old? About that. The earth is definitely not millions of years old as scientist claims. Biblical words such as "behemoth," "leviathan," and even "dragon." The descriptions of these animals more accurately match dinosaurs than any other known animal. e.g. BEHEMOTH
Job 40:15
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:14-16 (in Context) Job 40 (Whole Chapter)LEAVIATHAN
Isaiah 27:1
DRAGON: Psalm 91:13
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Isaiah 27:1-3 (in Context) Isaiah 27 (Whole Chapter)
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Psalm 91:12-14 (in Context) Psalm 91 (Whole Chapter) Isaiah 51:9
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
Isaiah 51:8-10 (in Context) Isaiah 51 (Whole Chapter)
