Creationism Vs Evolutionism
Dinosaurs and Man may have Co-existed
It has been a constant debate between creationists and evolutionists on how old the world is. Evolutionists believe that earth was created over 4.5 billion years ago while, creationists believe in a young earth created only about 6,000 years old. With that debate is the argument on when the dinosaurs walked the earth. Evolutionism teaches that humans and dinosaurs lived millions of years apart from each other. What many people are not aware of is that there exists a considerable body of evidence that supports the Biblical account of humans and dinosaurs living at the same time and even interacting with each other. Some of this evidence suggests that this may still be happening today in certain parts of …show more content…
… The dragons of the foothills have crests, of moderate height when young but they grow with them and extend to a great height when they reach full size." The bodies of the plains dragons are sometimes found with elephants, a great reward for hunters. Their tusks resemble those of swine, but more twisted and sharp. "They say that in the skulls of the mountain dragons are stored stones of flowery colors that flash out all kinds of hues." They tell us that "a great many dragons' skulls are enshrined" in the center of the great city of Paraka (Peshawar?) close by the mountain. (3)For over 2 hundred years there have been reports of a living dinosaur in Africa. This creature, which the natives call "Mokele-Mbembe" is believed to be a sauropod type of dinosaur (5). Sauropod means "Lizard-Footed" dinosaur. Sauropods are four-legged, herbivorous dinosaurs. These incidents were reported long before the word "dinosaur" was coined, and long before anyone (in this century) knew they existed. If Mokele-Mbembe is a living dinosaur, then it makes the claim of total dinosaur extinction unfounded. The Congolese people are very familiar with the aquatic dinosaur living in the Likoula swamp region. They call this Apatosaurus-like creature "Mokele-Mbembe" which means: "one who stops the flow of rivers" (5). From the size of this awesome beast this name is sure fitting! They believe this animal (which they greatly fear) is sacred. This belief is due to the illness and death of many in the pygmy tribe after one was killed with a spear and eaten by the people. Of course, the deaths and illness were probably more likely due to spoilage of its meat. An animal this large could have been eaten for several weeks.
