Children often have a big problem understanding how dinosaurs fit with Creation and the Bible. Yet the basic mystery about dinosaurs is easy to solve with the help of God's Word. This unusual book presents dinosaurs as a part of God's wonderful creation and uses them to introduce important Biblical concepts concerning Creation, the nature of God, Man's fall to sin, Noah's Flood, Christ's redemption, and God's plan for the restoration of paradise.
Many a new dinosaur discoveries are revealed.
"This is a wonderfully unique book. Children will find it fascinating...adults will appreciate its unusual new insights...I am glad to recommend it heartily to young and old alike."—Dr. Henry M. Morris

Much needed information for our confused, scientific age.
When one criticizes this book it is no doubt because they don't understand that many Christian children are being fed disinformation in school, on tv and in movies. The book clearly explains (and proves) that dinosaurs did indeed exist after the flood and were not unknown to the writers of the Bible. It is not a book per se about evolution, but works well as a companion to the subject. Once we realize that dinosaurs are not as old as we're often told, the theory of macro-evolution is shown to be just that--- a theory, with no secure basis in factual history. I have owned a copy of this book since 1989 and frequently use it as a teaching aid, its bountiful illustrations rivet children's attention. But it is also useful for teens and adults who question the historic accuracy of the Sacred Scriptures.
All About Dinos.
Children of all ages love dinosaurs. They are fascinated by them and will soak up anything dealing with those creature of old. A question that usually arises when discussing dinosaurs with children is, "what happened to the dinosaurs?" This book answers that question in the most logical and plausible way. The book is quite informative not just for kids, but for adults as well. It explains how dinosaurs fit into the Biblical creation, exposes flaws in many popular scientific theories, and illumines the validity of a Judeo/Christian world view in science. Yet, the book is quite simple to read and understand and does not become bogged down in superfluous scientific jargon. An excellent read.
GOSHZILLA THE BAPTIST DINOSAUR
I was only a few pages into Paul S. Taylor's "The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible" before I realized that I had stumbled upon one of the most intellectually challenging pieces of non fiction that I have read this year. Mr. Taylor had actually used the juxtaposition of Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" to Mary McCarthy's "The Group" to illustrate how two "dirty, post modern" works of fiction were created by a sort of contemporary Adam and Eve, both of whom, having fallen under the spell of Sodom sans Gomorrah (I could NOT understand that!) decided to elucidate a modern version of the Fall. I could not have disagreed more however Mr. Taylor's logic was impeccable and he was able to weave together a story of such compelling force that I had to stop reading after two pages and take a few deep breaths. I forged on and was rewarded with not only tidbits of magical thought but in some cases downright mother loads of unconventional and seminal thought nuggets. When I read about Jesus being bit by a dinosaur and Mr. Taylor's explanation of why God would allow such a thing to happen I actually had a few tears dribble down my face. Evidently, when Jesus was attacked by three not so wise apatosaurus it was enough to "set God off!" and thereby resulted in the laying of waste to an entire species with several millions well placed lightening bolts. I had to roll my eyes at that because it just didn't seem plausible to me but then Mr. Taylor went on to explain how the lightening changed the molecular structure of the bones so that they would appear to be sixty five million years older than they were. He had me. My mind is much more open now and I feel better in my personal life as well as my non personal life due to this book. The only complaint I really have is Mr. Taylor's contention that hell is exactly 3477 degrees fahrenheit in the summer and, without any explanation or scientific evidence, 20 cooler in the winter. Other than that, excellent read.
