This book is perhaps the largest printed compilation of evidences (with never before presented material!) supporting the view that mankind and dinosaurs (aka: dragons, behemoths, etc.) were contemporaries. It was born out of the desire to present a more thorough argument than what is generally given on this particular topic. Effort was made to provide correct and precise manuscript sources. Careful research and the re-analysis of various "evidences" led to the correction of several widely-held proclamations.
Divided into two sections, this book first gives a brief overview of both theological and scientific arguments supporting a young earth history and a single global catastrophic flood, as described in creation accounts in virtually every major culture on the planet. The second and more substantial section describes often overlooked evidences found throughout the earth that indicate man and dinosaurs lived side-by-side throughout much of recorded history. Anatomical consistencies with fossils, artistic consistencies in archaeology, and cross-cultural descriptive consistencies are presented. The ultimate goal is to affirm that the Bible, particularly the creation account in Genesis, can be trusted and taken literally.
These two sections go hand-in-hand and present a challenging argument to the mainstream geologic/historic paradigm. If the earth is young, and a global flood is responsible for nearly all fossils we see, then it is not difficult to determine that man and dinosaurs were contemporaries at some point. Each section strengthens the other and the entire book should be seen as a single argument.
Great care has been taken to attain a high level of integrity in this work to support such an unconventional (and often ridiculed) view. It is written with hope that the reader is honored by the substantial evidence gathered and will find it compelling as well.
