THE ‘AGE OF DINOSAURS’ IS A MYTH!
Our media and education system have told us there was an “Age of Dinosaurs”,
when no familiar animals or plants existed, but the evidence tells a different story
Reconstructions of the supposed ‘Age of dinosaurs’ show a very different world from the one we know, with no sign of any modern animals or plants, but the truth is very different.
There is abundant fossil evidence that there were modern groups co-existing with the dinosaurs that can be found in museums across the world, although most of it is hidden from public view. Have evolutionists purposely hidden it to keep the “evolution show” on the road?
Have evolutionists purposely hidden the evidence?
Dr Zhe-Xi Luo, Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, thinks so: “In a sense, ‘The Age of Dinosaurs’ … is a misnomer.” 1
Here are just a few of the many discoveries which challenge evolution.
Parrots found in Cretaceous fossils
Many people believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs, but there is growing evidence that modern-type birds lived WITH dinosaurs — and they were not primitive birds, but modern species.
Have you ever seen a picture of dinosaurs that included parrots flying around, or perched in nearby trees? This could change as a fossilised parrot has been found in Cretaceous rocks, overturning the popular view of the ‘Age of dinosaurs’.
Nature commented: “The existence of this fossil supports the hypothesis… that most or all of the major modern bird groups were present in the Cretaceous.” 2
Fossilised ducks
Forty fossil specimens of a very modern-looking, web-footed, duck-like bird named ‘Gansus yumenensis’ were discovered in similarly aged rocks in China. BBC News online reported: “Ducks may have been paddling around in primeval swamps when T-Rex was king of the dinosaurs.” 3
‘Gansus’, which resembled modern grebes, “could fly like modern birds,” said Jerald Harris of Dixie State College in Utah. “In short, no one expected to find a bird this modern in rocks this old.” 4
Finds like these totally undermine the popular theory of bird evolution.
Modern animals found with dinosaurs
Over 13 years, biologist and medical doctor Dr Carl Werner travelled 160,000 miles, visiting ten dinosaur dig sites and 60 natural history museums. After searching the literature, he began interviewing scientists, and discovered that all the major groups of modern plants and animals had indeed been found as fossils in the same rocks as dinosaurs. His conclusion, based on the facts, is that evolution has not happened. His research is recorded in his book and DVD series, ‘Evolution, the Grand Experiment’.
The flood preserved evidence of God’s Creation
There is abundant evidence that modern plants and animals were living at the same time as the dinosaurs — whenever that happened to be. We believe it was thousands, not millions of years ago, but if modern animals and plants have remained virtually unchanged for 200 million years or more, this is an even more serious challenge to Darwin’s theory of continuous change!
The evidence fits the biblical account of origins much better than Darwin’s theory. Genesis tells us that God created all life on earth in seven days, so we would certainly expect to find evidence for their co-existence.
