We are accustomed to hearing that dinosaur’s remains and the rest of the fossil record point to Darwinian evolution, but a closer examination presents a very different picture! Dinosaurs and evolution turn out not to be as compatible as you might think!
Even if evolution were true (it isn’t – but just for the sake of argument, let’s assume it is), does that mean there is no God? How do you know God didn’t use it to get us here? Fossils, dinosaurs, and evolution (even in the popular, Darwinian narrative) don’t actually prove anything about the existence of God, whose providential hand might use any number of processes to bring about His will and plan. (I am not teaching that evolution is true, nor that God used it, which is called theistic evolution; I am simply reasoning with them.) If you believe in evolution, does that mean you aren’t a sinner? God won’t accept the excuse that you believed in evolution and not Him.
Have you examined evolution to see if it is true? Evolution is not all that you are led to believe. There are all kinds of problems in the fossil record and there are lots of books that show this. Again, dinosaurs and evolution are not the closely-wed couples we’ve been led to believe. New theories are being raised all the time to account for why there aren’t any undisputed transitional forms found between any species of any kind, anywhere, anytime in all the fossil record. But you wouldn’t know these things if you haven’t studied the other side of the issue. You need to know the facts about evolution, and you need to know the facts about Jesus. So, have you read any anti-evolution books so you can see both sides?
