Could everything we've been taught about dinosaurs be wrong? As a self-proclaimed dinosaur skeptic, I'm challenging the narrative that's been drilled into us since childhood. It's fascinating to discover that the word "dinosaur" didn't even exist until 1841. Before that, cultures worldwide spoke of dragons in their historical records, artwork, and legends. The timing of dinosaur "discoveries" suspiciously aligned with the spread of Darwin's evolutionary theory—both needing deep time and fantastical creatures to support their claims.

Looking deeper reveals troubling inconsistencies. Most dinosaur reconstructions are built from surprisingly few bone fragments, with artists filling in massive gaps using imagination rather than evidence. Many proposed dinosaur physiologies present biological impossibilities—creatures too heavy to support their own weight or requiring impossibly large hearts. The field has been plagued by fraud, from the Archaeoraptor hoax announced by National Geographic to the shocking revelation that both the T-Rex and Velociraptor were essentially invented by Henry Fairfield Osborne, a wealthy railroad tycoon's son with powerful connections. Even the dating methods rely on circular reasoning: fossils date the rocks while rocks date the fossils.

The Bible offers a different perspective, describing massive creatures like Behemoth with "bones like bronze and a tail like a cedar tree" and Leviathan, a terrifying sea creature capable of breathing fire. These descriptions align with dragon accounts recorded across cultures for thousands of years. This isn't just about bones—it's about authority. Will we trust God's consistent Word about creation, or theories built on fragments and fabrications? As you reflect on this controversial topic, consider how this perspective might change your understanding of creation and help you recognize potential deception in what we're taught as scientific fact. If you found this episode thought-provoking, share it with someone who might appreciate this alternative view on prehistoric life.
