The Dinosaur Delusion

2 Thessalonians 2:11 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

I consider Ken Ham one of my brethren; I believe his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is just as genuine as mine. However, believers can disagree some things & not be enemies. Ham accepts that dinosaurs existed, but he also believes the Bible; therefore, he believes the dinosaurs must have existed IAW the framework of the word of God. That is not a heretical doctrine because even if he accepts some common claims of government controlled science, he will reject any claim about the same that contradicts scripture.

While Ham may reject the claim that alleged dinosaurs were tens or even hundreds of millions of years old; I reject dinosaurs outright. We are consistently fed fictional pictures of full dinosaur skeletons, yet the actual digs produce what look like large bone fragments of unidentifiable large creatures. The claim is these large bones all found in the same area must belong to the alleged dinosaurs.

I believe the bone fragments are real bones; not the bones of fictional thunder lizards, but the bones of very large creatures…sea creatures. There are more elements involved in my proposal than finding the bones of large sea creatures where they shouldn’t or where they shouldn’t if they do not believe the flood in Noah’s days.

When the waters of the great flood receded, many inland valleys would still be filled with water for a period of time. This would trap large sea creatures such as numerous kinds of whales. Once the temporary bodies of water in the inland valleys evaporated or ran off, the bones of large sea creatures would be directly intermingled with the bones of perished land creatures that succumbed to the flood in the same valleys. Also, the issue is further complicated by the large land creatures’ bone fragments being intermingled together as well.

Take the alleged Dimetrodon for instance:

It is claimed that this creature existed around 200 million years ago. The creature ranged from 6-15 feet long. There is a common debate over whether this creature was in fact a dinosaur–a few of its skull features renders it closer to mammals. The creatures qualities  would make sense if a mammal & reptile bones were intermingled with a swordfish or marlin (thus the spine fin on the creature). The large fish are within the same range of length.

The title picture does not represent the bones of a dinosaur–it is the skeleton of an Orca. You could only imagine if bone fragments from an Orca that was stuck in a temporary inland valley lake was mingled with bone fragments of the perished large land creatures. Take note of the very small arms of the alleged Tyrannosaurus Rex (and the others that supposedly looked a lot like it). Whether it is Orca’s, Pilot or Beluga Whale skeletons–if intermingled with land creatures–it looks like a large fierce land creature with small arms & a long tail.

Notice that a common argument is over whether dinosaurs are closer to reptiles or birds. That makes sense when the bones of sea creatures, birds, land mammals & reptiles would be scattered & mingled together in the formerly flooded valleys. It would be a worse situation than mixing boxes of space legos, city legos, star wars legos etc. Sure, you could make something that looks logical & acceptable out of the mixed lego’s, but it would not be right.

The government controlled science of hundreds of millions of years & thunder lizards draws many away from the word of God. They teach the government religion to children in school from very young age. With the compulsory, constant indoctrination, soon they cannot even contemplate anything else to the contrary. Many Christians are stuck in between believing the Bible & believing elements from government controlled science (like Ken Ham). The fact is they are real bones & they accept dinosaurs on the basis that the bone fragments are real.

The fact also is that there are other reasonable explanations for these real bones as I have just proved. The bone fragments of numerous land & sea creatures mingled together after the great flood.

The question is why does government controlled science promote the myth of dinosaurs & hundreds of millions of years to children of a young age? Well, if you can beguile a population into believing the Bible’s truth about the past is false, then they will question what the Bible says about the future & the morals therein. That is what it is ultimately about–attacking the morals in the Bible. Examine 2 Thessalonians 2:12 again–rejecting the truth is connected to pleasure in unrighteousness.

The government could not shift or control the populaces’ morals until they somehow pried the majority away from the word of God. No better way to do that than repetitively indoctrinating children with pseudo-science contrary to the Bible…and they claim Christians are brainwashed?

I caution, I do not claim that pleasure in righteousness represents one such as Ham. That is a position a Christian retreats to when they cannot explain the real bones. They accept government controlled science’s theory about the real bone fragments; therefore, they must fit their mythical dinosaurs in somewhere. I do not believe that Ham malicious in the least as far as his beliefs. We both believe the great flood occurred; the difference is I do not have to account for alleged dinosaurs. My post flood temporary inland lake theory makes more sense than dinosaurs.

As a Christian, you do not have to work around the alleged existence of dinosaurs.
