Titans chapter 1 Worldviews and Dinosaurs – Dinosaurs have fascinated scientists from the time they were first discovered. These creatures were different from all living creatures they had previously seen. Scientists realized they were looking at the remains of some of the largest land animals that ever lived. But what were they dealing with? The best way to understand them is by using the historical framework that God revealed in Scripture. The Bible tells us that the creation of the earth was just a little over 6,000 years ago, in the space of six ordinary-length days. This is the true beginning of dinosaurs. God originally created everything to be “very good”, including the dinosaurs. But our fore parents disobeyed God, and God subjected the world to death and degradation. About 1,500 years after creation, mankind had become so evil that God sent a global Flood to wipe almost all of them out. But He preserved eight people and at least one pair of all land vertebrate kinds so they could repopulate the earth. This must also logically include dinosaurs. But the evolutionary view says instead that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. And somehow matter, time, and energy became the first living cell. After much more time, energy, and natural selection, bacteria somehow became brachiosaurids. There was allegedly an ‘age of dinosaurs’ 243–66 million years ago. This is long before man was supposed to have swung down from the trees.: https://creation.com/titans-ch1-worldviews-and-dinosaurs

Echidna-Outback Oddity | Answers in Genesis – Evolution is hard-pressed to explain this prickly little digger. That’s because the Creator made it like no other single animal. You might think that spiky little animal waddling along the forest floor is a porcupine. But it has a long, sticky tongue and it digs for ants, so maybe it’s some kind of anteater. Nope? Well, it’s a mammal, at least, right? Wait—it lays eggs. Mammals don’t lay eggs. So what is this thing?: https://answersingenesis.org/mammals/echidna-outback-oddity/

“It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.” – Acts 15:19-21 Blessings to you all
