I really enjoyed this book for the outright silliness of it. God forbid my daughter should ever see it. The only thing that dampened my enjoyment was the thought that someone might actually take it seriously. We're Christian and respect a diversity of viewpoints but, wow, this thing is nuts.

This review is from: Dinosaurs by Design (Hardcover)

This book is a fantastic example of how facts and science can be manipulated, misrepresented and plain made up to display anything an author desires. Excellent for teaching children about bias and lies, and for imbuing them with a healthy amount of scepticism. Not so great for learning anything factual though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful dinosaur book for children!, January 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Dinosaurs by Design (Hardcover)

We really enjoyed this book about dinosaurs from the creationistic point of view. It gives credible answers to all the questions children have about how dinosaurs fit in from a biblical viewpoint. Even as an adult reading this book I had many of the secular evolutionary ideas I grew up on challenged. It will enhance your faith in God to realize that there are credible creationistic theories in response to secular evolution!
