Dinosaurs: Not "Millions" of Years Ago - part 3

There are many books about this subject. So why don’t we read about this in the news, or hear about them in the evening news? Hhmmmm? For instance, records of Marco Polo in China show that the royal house kept dragons for ceremonies and dragons were hunted for meat and medicine in the Province of Karazan. Records of the Greek historian Herodotus and the Jewish historian Josephus describe flying reptiles in ancient Egypt and Arabia. In other cultures, it was a great honor to kill these creatures. There are numerous records of warriors killing great beasts in order to establish credibility in a village. Gilgamesh, Fafnir, Beowulf and other famous legends, including the mythology of Egypt, Greece and Rome, include specific descriptions of dragons and other dinosaur-like creatures. http://www.allaboutcreation.org/dragon-history.htm

Sue McKay of Kamloops, BC- Saw Ogopogo for about a minute in 1975 from bridge into Kelowna.  It appeared to her and her husband that it looked like three tires on edge about 4-500 yards away.  Head looked like house/lamb/dog.  


"Paul LeBlond and Ed Bousfield are two credible scientists with impeccable academic pedigrees (both are Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada) who have an unusual hobby - they are the spokesmen for a marine anomaly which inhabits the waters of British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest which has been dubbed Cadborosaurus or Caddy for short ... " http://www.bcscc.ca/cadborosaurus.htm


"This famous photo of the Lake Champlain monster was taken by Sandi Mansi in 1977. Thousands of people, dating all the way back to the Abenaqi Indians, claim to have seen the creature. This very deep lake lies on the border of New York and Vermont and is accessed by sea through the St. Lawrence Seaway. The first recorded sighting took place when Samuel de Champlain came upon the lake in July 1609. During this expedition, the French explorer noted "a 20-foot serpent, with a horse-shaped head and body as thick as a keg." Since then, sightings of the strange aquatic beast have been reported by over 300 people, many documented in Joseph Zarzynski’s definitive book Champ--Beyond the Legend written in 1984. ...

I've personally seen these tracks and the evidence of man and dinosaur living together is there.



Not only do we have footprints together (man and dinosaur), but also human remains have been found together, in the same rock layer, with dinosaurs. The evidence is overwhelming, and would hold up in any non-biased court of law, where the truth is being pursued.

www.bible.ca/tracks/malachite-man.htm


Man and dinosaurs lived together as evidenced by art, historical records, carcasses, archaeological finds and eye-witness accounts. The evolutionary geologic column is clearly false, and therefore evolution an invalid theory. It's time to replace that theory of our origins, beginnings, and development with one that fits.

 
Yet children’s books present false information to impressionable minds.

The Bible tells us EXACTLY what we need to know about  our beginnings and even tells us the future: what will happen, and where we are going -- either one of two places: 

Revelation 20:11 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."

The Lord says: 
 
John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Why? Because every one of us was born in sin: 

Psalm 51:5 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."


Psalm 58:3 "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies."

Every one of us has fallen short:

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."


James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." 


Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."


Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."

We are born in sin, we sin, and even our good deeds fall short. But GOD made a WAY - the ONLY WAY:

1Timothy 1:15 "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."


John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

If you are a sinner - in need of forgiveness, then Jesus Christ died for you. Turn from your sin and self, and trust Christ today as your only hope to be saved from God's sure wrath.
 
Mark 1:15 "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."

1Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit."


Acts 16:30 "... what must I do to be saved?  (31) ... Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved ..."

Dinosaurs: Not "Millions" of Years Ago - part 2

There have been numerous pictures of "Champ" (below right) which looks to be a Plesiosaur which lives in Lake Champlain, New York.




 
Here's another picture of a Plesiosaur that washed up on Moore's Beach in Monterey, California in 1925. The neck of this animal was 20 feet long! 
http://www.zimbio.com/TheConspiracyZone/articles/22/THERE+LIVING+DINOSAURS+STILL+ROAMING+EARTH


 
In 1961, a business man flying his own plane over the Hudson River Valley was ‘buzzed’ by what he said could only be described as a pterodactyl type creature. In 1976 there were at least three very similar sightings in Texas, including one in which three elementary teachers in San Antonio all reported seeing the same creature. One of the most fascinating sightings occurred in 1856 when a railway tunnel was being dug between St.-Dizier and Nancy, France. The Illustrated London News on February 9, 1856, reports that when a large limestone boulder was split open, a creature with a wingspan of 10’ 7” spilled out, flapped its wings, then died, leaving a precise mold of its body in the stone. http://www.allaboutcreation.org/dinosaur-sightings-faq.htm



Consistently over the past 100 years natives talk about mokele-mbembe (blocker-of-rivers). These dinosaur sightings come from varied areas, but are startlingly similar. All of them involve a creature that spends most of its time in the water, though it climbs ashore during the day in search of food. Its size is approximately between an elephant and hippopotamus but with a long neck and small head. And the mokele-mbembe feeds off of specific vegetation and fruit growing along the water’s edge. No matter where they have been spotted in Africa, the natives all say that hippopotamus and alligators quickly leave the section of the river where this creature roams. It is very territorial and aggressively protects its area. Every time natives are shown pictures, they quickly identify a sauropod-type dinosaur, similar in shape to a small Apatosaurus.










Dinosaurs: Not "Millions" of Years Ago - part 1


The Bible tells us in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." And that, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is" (Exodus 20:11). That's pretty all-inclusive wording. The Bible does not talk about "millions" or even "billions" of years of evolution, nor does it indicate anything else than that dinosaurs were part of the six-day Creation.


However, evolutionists claim that man and dinosaurs did not live together; that in fact, NO ONE has ever seen one. If they did, the theory of evolution would once AGAIN be falsified. Therefore, let's have a look at the evidence that evolutionists would probably prefer you not see.


Movies like Jurassic Park and a variety of others, try to get us to believe that men and dinosaurs were separated by millions of years of evolution.

As seen here, the evolutionary geologic column presents this separation. But, as we will see, this column is falsifiable, and therefore disproving the theory of evolution, in favor of a more reasonable answer to our beginnings.








Dinosaur-like creatures are featured on Babylonian landmarks, Roman mosaics, Asian pottery and royal robes, Egyptian burial shrouds and government seals, Peruvian burial stones and tapestries, Mayan sculptures, Aboriginal and Native American petroglyphs (carved rock drawings), and many other pieces of ceremonial art throughout ancient cultures. 



Ica burial stones, ca 500-1500 AD
 


Another amazing discovery was made in 1925 by a the German archeologist Waldenar Julsrud, when he discovered numerous dinosaur figurines buried at the foot of El Toro Mountain in the Valley of Acambaro about 180 miles North of Mexico City. This was positive proof that the ancient civilizations of people who lived in these areas over four thousand years ago, had intimate first hand knowledge of what these dinosaurs looked like.
