Hardly any other field of science has been so distorted by secular, unbiblical theories as that of the dinosaurs. The Institute of Creation Research (or ICR), has done significant work in righting that wrong, and this encyclopedic book is born out of their labors.
Information is neatly organized and covers Biblical history, fossils, and types of dinosaurs. Concise two-page spreads on topics such as What is a Dinosaur?, Dinosaur Extinction, and Did Dinosaurs Evolve into Birds? answer all your dino-related questions.
This is an ideal book for school libraries to offer, as students will find this book invaluable in their research papers. Teachers and parents will find great illustrations to help children understand the history of dinosaurs from a reliably Christian perspective. For the dino-maniacs, at least a third of this book delves into dinosaur types and sub-types, including notes on the structure, distinctions, likely diet and current locations of fossils found for each type. Kids will enjoy the beautiful visual aids that show what each dinosaur would have looked like, and how big they were compared to humans.
Finally, this book ends with a short but invaluable section on “dinosaurs in the big picture” which summarizes sections and includes a brief paragraph pointing us to the most important conclusion: fossils are the result of death, the wages of sin.
