Dinosaurs and Fossils

Although every continent has Dinosaur and other fossils, creatures generally don’t get fossilized today. We find most fossils within flat rock layers that extend for hundreds of square miles, showing again that some watery catastrophe happened in the past. Noah’s Flood explains Earth’s widespread sediments and their fossils.

  • Did dinosaurs evolve into birds?

  • Are all dragon legends pure fantasy?

  • How do living fossils fit the Bible’s created kinds concept?

  • Where are all the dinosaur evolutionary ancestors—or even just one?

  • Why do so many dinosaur and other fossils still have original, organic tissues?

Published Reports of Original Soft Tissue Fossils

Soft tissues that are essentially unaltered should not exist in fossils that are millions of years old. This is because, in accordance with the Law of Entropy, the biochemicals in such tissues spontaneously break down within only thousands of years after death. The chart below is a summary of technical and other reports describing original soft tissue fossils that came from a variety of unique fossil sites around the world

Evolutionary Dinosaur Myths Debunked

Dinosaurs capture the public imagination like no other creatures. The extreme popularity of the Jurassic Park movie series over the past three decades highlights this interest. But the Jurassic Park movies not only pander to people’s fascination with dinosaurs, they also reveal trends in evolutionary speculation that have no factual basis.

Dinosaurs and Dragon Legends

How do dinosaurs fit with the Bible’s history? They certainly existed—their fossil remains are found on every continent. And ancient historical records, including the Bible, chronicle human encounters with large reptiles whose descriptions best match dinosaurs. Could it be that these records show that dinosaurs and humans shared the earth at one time rather than living millions of years apart as evolutionary myth proclaims?

What Happened to Dinosaurs After the Flood?

Genesis says that “every beast after its kind…went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.”1 Dinosaurs were beasts, and their fossil nostrils show they had the breath of life. So, if a breeding pair of every dinosaur kind entered the Ark, why don’t we see dinosaurs alive today?

New Evidence Hurts Feathered Dinosaur Theory

Is a dinosaur still a dinosaur if it has flight feathers? A new study points to some fascinating evidence that contradicts the idea of feathered dinosaurs and confirms created kinds. It’s no secret that birds fly in order to, among other reasons, get food and avoid becoming food. For that, they must have their feathers arranged in good order. But feathers wear out.
