The sources argue that dinosaurs and humans really could have lived together, contending that the perceived impossibility of this coexistence is rooted in evolutionary propaganda rather than physical or logical limitations. The authors address this by breaking down two primary barriers: the alleged 60-million-year time gap and the belief that dinosaurs were too dangerous for humans to survive.
Overcoming the “Fear Factor”
Many people believe dinosaurs were “enormous killing machines” with which humans simply could not have lived. However, the sources point out that humans have successfully coexisted with, and even tamed, extraordinary extant creatures for millennia:
- Large and Vicious Animals: Humans live alongside (and tame) animals like the imperial elephant, which can weigh 11 tons and easily kill a person, and the killer whale, a ferocious predator with 3-inch-long teeth.
- Intimidating Reptiles: The Komodo dragon grows to 10 feet, runs 15 miles per hour, and has a mouth full of deadly bacteria, yet it has not prevented humans from flourishing.
- Historical Precedents: Over 2,200 years ago, Hannibal used tame African elephants in battle, and today, humans continue to train these massive beasts to perform tasks or tricks.
- Relative Size: While some dinosaurs like Brachiosaurus were massive, the average dinosaur was only about the size of a large cow, making them no more intimidating than modern livestock or large mammals.
Biblical and Intellectual Foundations
The sources emphasize that according to the Bible, humans were given dominion over all living things.
- Adam and Noah: Adam lived with and named all creatures, and Noah spent over a year on the Ark housing “intimidating” animals like bears, lions, and alligators, alongside dinosaur kinds.
- Human Intelligence: The authors reject the idea that ancient humans were “ignorant nitwits”. They cite the building of the Great Pyramids and precise ancient astronomical calculations (determining the length of a year and the orbit of Venus without computers) as proof that our ancestors were intelligent enough to survive alongside large reptiles.
The Role of Preschool Programming
The sources argue that society is “programmed” from a young age through books, television, and museums to view dinosaurs and humans as separated by millions of years. This programming makes the idea of a person riding or interacting with a dinosaur seem “fantastical” or “absurd,” even though people find nothing strange about a person riding a 20,000-pound elephant or sticking their head inside a killer whale’s mouth at a park.
Ultimately, the book concludes that once a person moves outside the “evolutionary box,” the coexistence of dinosaurs and humans becomes a reasonable and common-sense conclusion supported by history, Scripture, and the reality of human-animal interaction today.
