Is it Possible that Man and Dinosaurs Existed at the Same Time? Evolutionists conjecture that dinosaurs were part of the theoretical “Great Age of the Reptiles” about 200 million years ago. And that they became extinct about 70 million years ago. They also conjecture that man did not evolve until about 4 million years ago. Therefore no man could ever have seen a living dinosaur. However, many recent discoveries seem to indicate that man and dinosaurs lived together in the not too distant past. For thousands of years our cave-dwelling ancestors have drawn pictures of the animals that they saw and hunted. Many of these animals are prehistoric like the wooly mammoth, wooly rhinoceros and even long-necked, large bodied reptiles like dinosaurs. Civilizations all over the world have legends about large reptilian creatures that resemble dinosaurs. In many countries they called them - dragons. In the Bible, in the Book of Job, there is what appears to be a reference to a dragon. “Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox. His strength is in his hips, and his power in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. His bones are like beams of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God. Only he who made him can can bring him near his sword.” Job 40:15-19. Some people have claimed that this is a description of an elephant or rhinoceros, but their tails are more like little twigs than mighty cedars. Also, in the Apocrypha, there is a story called Bel and the Dragon which recounts how Daniel refused to worship a dragon (after his friends had refused to worship an image of gold - Daniel 3) which was worshipped by the Babylonians. “Now in that place there was a great dragon, which the Babylonians revered. The king said to Daniel, ‘You cannot deny that this is a living god; so worship him.’ Daniel said, ‘I worship the Lord my God, for he is the living God.” Bel and the Dragon, vs. 23-25. In India huge reptiles were worshipped and kept in caves. Alexander the Great encountered one that was more than 100 feet long. In China the dragon is the national symbol. Many of their early artistic representations resemble known dinosaurs. Ancient Chinese books talk about using the blood, fat, brains, and saliva of dragons for medicinal purposes. Some ancient books also tell of a family that bred dragons which the emperor used to pull his chariot on special occasions. There are also legends of dragons in in Scandinavian folklore. One had a big body like an ox, long back legs like a frog, short front legs, monstrous jaws, and could leap like a frog. This sounds like many known dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus Rex. Many great heroes fought dragons like Beowulf and St. George. An Irish writer tells of an encounter with a beast that sound very like a Stegosaurus, having iron nails on its tail which pointed backward, a head shaped somewhat like a horse’s, and hideous thick legs with iron claws. The city of Nerluc in southern France was renamed in honor of a dragon that was killed there. It sounds very much like a triceratops, “armed with tusks that were sharp like pointed swords, the body larger than an ox,“ and it lay in wait in the river. In the 1500s a well known scientific book listed dragons as “living but extremely rare.” A famous scientist at the time, Ulysses Aldrovandus, documented an encounter between one of the nearly extinct reptiles and a peasant named Baptista. The creatures had become so small and weak that this Italian herdsman killed it by simply hitting it on the head. The description of the reptile sounds strikingly similar to the small dinosaur, Tanystrophaes. Greek historian and explorer Heroditus describes flying dinosaurs in Egypt with snake-like bodies and bat-like wings. While Native American legends tell of a group of Sioux warriors who were hunting during a thunderstorm. They saw a huge birdlike creature get hit by lightning and fall to the ground. When they found it’s remains it had huge claws, a 20 foot wing span, and a large crested head. A description which matches that of the extinct pteradon. They had never seen anything like it and called it a Thunderbird. It has appeared in Native American tales ever since. At one time not so long ago it is believed that alligators and crocodiles often grew to be over 20 feet in length. On some of the Indonesian Islands lives the Komodo Dragon which often grows to be over 20 feet long and eats deer and pigs. There continue to be reports of large unknown reptiles from all over the world. The Loch Ness monster sounds very much like a pleisiosaur. In 1977, a Japanese fishing vessel netted part of what some scientists believed to be a pleisiosaur carcass. Once again in the Book of Job we find a description of Leviathan, that sounds very much like the dinosaur Chronosaurus which dwarfs the pleisiosaur. “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook…with his terrible teeth all around…his eyes are like the eyelids of morning…smoke goes out of his nostrils…and a flame goes out of his mouth…” Job 41 1...21 There is much to indicate that dinosaurs have lived with many in the recent past and they may continue to inhabit the hidden places of our planet even now. |
