Promotes the religion of non-science
If, as a Christian, you buy the atheistic view that the natural process of evolution disproves God, this is the book for you. It twists the Biblical creation account into a neat "scientific" box, based on faulty logic, in a misguided attempt to preserve Biblical truth for a 21st century science-minded culture. Winsome illustrations depict dinosaurs in the garden of Eden and on Noah's ark, and even suggest that dinosaurs may still be living today in some remote area in Africa. "Evidence" includes dragon mythology, and dinosaur cave paintings. Apparently the authors assume that earlier generations either never found dinosaur fossils, or wouldn't form their own ideas about the living creatures that produced such bones. Clearly, to imagine a dragon, they must have seen an actual living dinosaur. Such evidence is unacceptable to me, and as a committed Christian, I am deeply concerned that so many are leading their children to equate faith in God with a "belief" in non-science.
