They ARE winning. ToysRUs is now selling creationist toys Dinosaurs are a common obsession among kids and this dinosaur toy takes children back to the Mesozoic Era for unlimited play in a prehistoric time. Thunder, a replica of a Brontosaurus, is so named for the thundering footstep noises and roar he makes when kids pull the lever under his tail. In addition to movable stomping feet, this Brontosaurus moves vertically at the head, neck, and tail and also twists at the neck. Per Fisher-Price’s storyline for these beasts, kids can pretend that Thunder is the head of the Ecovores, a group of dinosaurs trying to protect their environment from the natural resource-hogging Predator dinosaurs. Or kids can challenge their imagination by creating their own stories and scenes with this gentle giant. Thunder comes with a saddle on his back and three raptor dinosaurs, who are prepared to follow his lead. Also included is a caveman figure with a saber tooth tiger skin wrap and a primitive weapon, which, although not exactly accurate for the time period , extends play possibilities a bit. Three "AAA" batteries are included to power the sound effects.

At least they have a disclaimer from a reviewer of the toy. --Cristina Vaamonde

This reminds me of a comedy skit I saw recently on TV..I missed most of it, but just heard this one liner, something about creationists, that when they are watching 'The Flintstones', on TV, they think they are watching a documentary....

Dinosaurs, and humans all existing at the same time, side by side...saddle up, lets go for a 'Dino' ride...
