1.0 out of 5 stars Worried about your kids learning more than you did? Fear not!, July 7, 2011

This review is from: What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs? (DJ and Tracker John) (Hardcover)

Have you ever noticed your child using multisyllabic words that you didn't know when you were their age? Does your child come home with ideas you've never heard of before, claiming that organisms change over time or the earth revolves around the sun? It can be truly disheartening to know that the rest of the world wants your child to know more and accomplish more than you yourself did.

Fortunately, there are people like John D. Morris and Ken Ham who feel your pain and would like to help. With books like "What Really Happened To The Dinosaurs" you can counter all those irritating facts and discoveries by legitimizing the same fairy tales that were used to explain the scary and unexplainable to you as a child!

Obviously, if it was good enough for bronze age sheep farmers who never left the towns of their birth, it's good enough for my kids! Who wants a child graduating college and thinking they know better than you? Not I, that's for sure. Thank you, John D. Morris! Thank you, Ken Ham!

I cannot believe what I am seeing here! This is a disgrace and I feel so bad for the kids that are spoon fed this nonsense as truth despite the fact that there isn't a lick of evidence to support this claim. I do hope this book is filed under the fiction section.

1.0 out of 5 stars Promotes the religion of non-science, November 28, 2010

This review is from: What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs? (DJ and Tracker John) (Hardcover)

If, as a Christian, you buy the atheistic view that the natural process of evolution disproves God, this is the book for you. It twists the Biblical creation account into a neat "scientific" box, based on faulty logic, in a misguided attempt to preserve Biblical truth for a 21st century science-minded culture. Winsome illustrations depict dinosaurs in the garden of Eden and on Noah's ark, and even suggest that dinosaurs may still be living today in some remote area in Africa. "Evidence" includes dragon mythology, and dinosaur cave paintings. Apparently the authors assume that earlier generations either never found dinosaur fossils, or wouldn't form their own ideas about the living creatures that produced such bones. Clearly, to imagine a dragon, they must have seen an actual living dinosaur. Such evidence is unacceptable to me, and as a committed Christian, I am deeply concerned that so many are leading their children to equate faith in God with a "belief" in non-science.
