Book Description

Are dinosaurs in the Bible?
Were dinosaurs more like lizards or birds?
What was family life of the dinosaurs like?
What can science tell us about dinosaurs?
Was Tyrannosaurus Rex really as mean as in the movies?

Dinosaurs may have lived long ago, but we know they were part of God's Creation, and they still fascinate us today. Nothing captures our imagination quite like these giant creatures thundering across the landscape. Sometimes we're not sure what to believe about dinosaurs, but science reveals a lot about them, and God's Word tells us how God created the world. With these two valuable tools, we can find out all we need to know.

Dinosaurs will answer your questions about how dinosaurs lived, how we find out about them, and how they fit into God's great Creation. We'll meet the paleontologists themselves and see the bones of dinosaurs buried many years ago! Join us on a journey to the past!

4.0 out of 5 stars Christian perspective on dinosaurs w/o propoganda, June 22, 2001

This review is from: Dinosaurs! (Exploring God's World with Michael and Caroline Carroll) (Hardcover)

After over a year of seaching, I stumbled onto this book. It's the ONLY one I can find which presents accurate information about dinosaurs from a Christian perspective, without falling into young-earth creationist propoganda. Great pictures and up-to-date scientific data. Appropriate for grades 3 through 5 to read to themselves. Younger children will enjoy the pictures. It's not exactly a "read-to-me" book, however.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Paleontology Resource from a Christian View, July 15, 2008

By

This review is from: Dinosaurs! (Exploring God's World with Michael and Caroline Carroll) (Hardcover)

I am always skeptical about buying books with a Christian point of view on topics such as dinosaurs, due to varying opinions on how old they are, how old the earth is, etc. This book gives a lot of great detailed information that a child age 8-12 can easily understand. Both young earth and old earth positions are stated but the authors of this book tend to lean towards the old earth view. That's great if you want your child to believe that science is accurate and not a bunch of "propaganda" when it comes to dinosaurs and the age of the earth (and be accurate on every other topic). There is alot of documented scientific evidence that is presented and hard to dispute that it makes this book a great resource for the Christian child who wants to learn more about these fascinating creatures God created!
