Dragons & Dinosaurs —

Ryan: The theory of evolution claims that dinosaurs and man did not coexist but were separated by more than 65 million years. Now on the other hand according to the Bible dinosaurs and man did coexist because they were both created together only thousands of years ago, now you’ve spent many years out in the field researching this, so what have you learned?

Vance: Yes, as far as dinosaur and human coexistence I’ve probably spent at least a decade and a half investigating this, spent many years all over the planet looking at this. The interesting thing is that when you take a look at the secular theory they used to claim at the turn of the century that dinosaurs died out about 3 million years and then you can find references that you know for example Tyrannosaurus Rex was dug out of his 8 million-year-old tomb. And then you find that they claim dinosaurs died out about 24 million years ago, then you find references they died out 30 million years ago and then I was taught from a child forward that they died out 65 million years ago. Then in 2011 they came out and said that dinosaurs died out about 66,011,000 years ago. So, it’s interesting the children that are sort of in diapers now are going to grow up being taught that dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago yet we were taught they died out 65 million years ago and there are people that were taught they died out 30 million years ago, 24 million years ago, you know, 8 million years ago. The matter of the fact is that this isn’t a fact. You know when things continue to change but these figures were taught as facts when they came out in newspapers when they came out in books, but this isn’t a fact. But the reality is when you take a look at a biblical account you do have dinosaurs made on the same day of creation as humans and you also have other reptiles and other creatures made just a day apart from humans and so these creatures would have lived at the same time as human beings. And so, if you take a look at the geologic record you basically have these creatures from the Permian, the Triassic, the Jurassic, the Cretaceous and they’re supposedly separated from man by tens of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years and so even if you accept what some of the evolutionists have been willing to accept and that is maybe some of these creatures survived the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous and sort of just skimmed by the end there and they survived up until the humans evolved. And this is what some evolutionists have actually claimed. There’s a bit of a problem because in the artwork in old artwork that predates the science of paleontology I’ve discovered creatures’ bone for bone, claw for claw, scale for scale, tooth for tooth that are identical to creatures that go back to the Permian, that go back to the Triassic. We’re talking about creatures that actually predate the dinosaurs and these creatures not only predate the dinosaurs but they supposedly went extinct before the dinosaurs even evolved and so you can’t usher in theories such as the survival theory. And so, you also have dinosaurs from the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous that are found depicted in old artwork that predate the science of paleontology. So, another idea is well maybe they just dug up these fossils. Well, I have 16 reasons why this doesn’t work in my book called Dire Dragons and you have to have the right types of tools that we’ve just recently been able to develop, you have to have the right kinds of glues, you have to be able to have some substitute for plaster jacketing and even if by some miracle you’re able to develop all these things and put a dinosaur together which requires sophisticated anatomy and physiology knowledge. Why rarely if ever are these dinosaurs never depicted as bones? We see them depicted with flesh on we see them depicted with scales on and in life postures interacting with people. Now there is one serious problem that most evolutionary theorists never realize and that is that when you find a piece of artwork of a dinosaur you ought to find the fossils in close proximity to that artwork in order for that theory to work. That is, that they excavated the fossils. Now, first of all, the excavation theory doesn’t work anyway but you ought to find the fossils in close proximity. Many in fact, most times the fossils are actually found somewhere else on the other side of the planet, for example, some of these Permian and Triassic creatures that I’ve just recently discovered in old artwork many of these things are depicting in Europe. Let’s say Germany and some other countries in Europe but these fossils so far have only been discovered for example in the United States sometimes they were discovered in South Africa, etc. And so, you have a severe problem. First of all, there is no evidence it ever did happen that’s known as ad hoc so you have to come up with ad hoc explanations with no evidence it ever did happen and secondly the fossils aren’t even found there. So, when you take a look at the evidence from old artwork, it is powerful positive evidence that the biblical record is actually true. People actually did observe these creatures after Noah’s flood it’s the only explanation that fits the evidence they saw these creatures after Noah’s flood. They depicted them, and they were calling them what? Dragons.
