Dinny the roadside dinosaur has found religion. The 45-foot-high concrete apatosaurus has towered over Interstate 10 near Palm Springs for nearly three decades as a kitschy prehistoric pit stop for tourists. Now he is the star of a renovated attraction that disputes the fact that dinosaurs died off millions of years before humans first walked the planet.
Dinny's new owners, pointing to the Book of Genesis, contend that most dinosaurs arrived on Earth the same day as Adam and Eve, some 6,000 years ago, and later marched two by two onto Noah's Ark. The gift shop at the attraction, called the Cabazon Dinosaurs, sells toy dinosaurs whose labels warn, "Don't swallow it! The fossil record does not support evolution."
The Cabazon Dinosaurs join at least half a dozen other roadside attractions nationwide that use the giant reptiles' popularity in seeking to win converts to creationism. And more are on the way.
"We're putting evolutionists on notice: We're taking the dinosaurs back," said Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, a Christian group building a $25-million creationist museum in Petersburg, Ky., that's already overrun with model sauropods and velociraptors.
"They're used to teach people that there's no God, and they're used to brainwash people," he said. "Evolutionists get very upset when we use dinosaurs. That's their star."
The nation's top paleontologists find the creation theory preposterous and say children are being misled by dinosaur exhibits that take the Jurassic out of "Jurassic Park."
"Dinosaurs lived in the Garden of Eden, and Noah's Ark? Give me a break," said Kevin Padian, curator at the University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley and president of National Center for Science Education, an Oakland group that supports teaching evolution. "For them, 'The Flintstones' is a documentary."

Rolling on the floor laughing at what?
Neanderthal man Now considered human, maybe 600 years old, with rickets and arthiritis, on the way down, not up.
Java Man Dubois, the one who found this thing in 1891, said at his death "Actually the remains of a lorge gibbon"
Piltdown man Careful examination in 1950 found it to be "collosal hoax" Skull stained with iron salts and the teeth filed down...
Peking man Now believed to be the remains of large monkeys used for food.
Nebraska man DNA shows that the tooth, the only thing they found, is the tooth of a pig
Doesn't seem t me that the dawinist have much to laugh about, seems that every twenty eyars or so all theuir evidence crubles and they ahve to come up with new evidence, now that is somethig to laugh about.
care to tell me where in the world you get The Word also speaks of three different heaven/earth ages. There was a catastrophic event that killed off all life in the FIRST heaven/earth age prior to man ever being form in the flesh. The dinos were around in the FIRST heaven/earth age. Genesis 1:2 is describing that event, with follow up descriptions elsewhere planted within the Word. Creationists do themselves no service claiming that the dino's were around during this heaven/earth age.
Out of your statement?
That has been proven over and over again by the evolutionist. More money, more research, more asine Theories
The fall of man was at 4415 or so BC, give or take three years.
And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.' Ge 1:28 Youngs literal translation
My math is bad. I forgot about the 2010 or so years since Christ's birth. Minor oversight, and well within the margin of error for government work.
Perhaps you would like to show us some of this "scientific evidence' Or by 'scientific' do you mean evolution theory?
There is absoultey nothing scientific or provable about evolution.
Me too, the Lord God of Creation, Christ Jesus bless you.
No it doesn't!

lol
Where did you get 45-55 inches high?
Nice plate! ;-)
Correct.
Evolution does contradict. Wrong.
Danke! I figured it's about time the GRPL got some East-Coast representation.

"care to tell me where in the world you get The Word also speaks of three different heaven/earth ages. "
Peter, that one who was designated to be the "rock" upon which the church was to be established, plainly speaks about heaven/earth Ages. That one that WAS, covered in water, that one that is NOW, and the one yet future.
There are other places that expound upon events that took place in that age that was, this age and the age to come. How is it that Paul talks about the mysteries of God, and predestination if there was nothing before flesh man?
Christ is the TARGET of evolution, evolution mutates the perfection HE WAS, IS and WILL always be Christ. Flesh man is the obsession that drives both sides, yet flesh upon this earth is less than a twinkling of the Heavenly Father's eye in the span of eternity.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, (judicially) and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
The Book tells TIME!!!!
Do the math: T. rex is found in the late Maastrichtian of the latest late Cretaceous, which ended +/- 65MYA. Neanderthal is found in the Pleistocene of the Tertiary, and Cro Magnon is found in the Pleistocene of the Tertiary and Holocene of the Quaternary. Neanderthal is found beginning at +/- 100KYA, and Cro Magnon at 40KYA to present (Cro Magnon is AKA Homo sapiens sapiens, otherwise called US).
Now explain to me how it would be possible for life forms separated by 65 million years of time to exist together anywhere outside of Jurassic Park or King Kong.
