Gods Creation, 100 / evolution, 0 WHY DID T. REX HAVE TINY ARMS? Few animals capture the imagination quite like Tyrannosaurus rex. It's one of the most recognizable dinosaurs in the world. Towering over the landscape with a massive skull and bone-crushing jaws, one feature has puzzled scientists for decades: those tiny little arms. A new study claims to have solved the mystery. After examining the skulls and forelimbs of dozens of meat-eating dinosaurs, researchers found that species with larger, more robust skulls generally had smaller arms. From that relationship, they proposed that as these dinosaurs supposedly changed over millions of years, the head gradually became the primary weapon while the forelimbs became less important. It's an interesting observation, but does that explanation really follow? The study identified a relationship between skull size and arm size. It didn't discover how that relationship came to be. Instead, the evolutionary story is added afterward because that's the framework through which the evidence is being interpreted. But there's another explanation that's much simpler. Think about a playground teeter-totter. If one side becomes much heavier, the other side has to compensate or everything falls out of balance. A two-legged dinosaur faces the same engineering challenge. Its head, neck, torso, hips, legs, tail, and forelimbs all have to work together to keep its center of gravity exactly where it belongs. A massive skull combined with equally massive forelimbs would place tremendous weight toward the front of the animal. Something else would have to compensate. The tail would need to become larger, the hips would need to change, or the body would become increasingly unstable. Suddenly those tiny arms don't seem strange at all. They make perfect engineering sense as part of a balanced, integrated body. The researchers also describe the arms as "reduced" or "vestigial," yet they still don't know exactly what purpose those arms served. History has shown why we should be cautious with that conclusion. Again and again, structures once dismissed as evolutionary leftovers have later been found to perform important functions. The difference ultimately comes down to where we begin. If evolution is the starting point, then every feature must somehow be explained through millions of years of gradual change. But if we begin where Scripture begins, with God as Creator, then coordinated engineering is exactly what we should expect. The Bible tells us God created every creature according to its kind during Creation Week. From that perspective, T. rex wasn't a work in progress. It was created as a complete, fully functional animal whose skull, arms, legs, hips, and tail all worked together from the very beginning. The word "dinosaur" wasn't even invented until 1842. Before that, these incredible creatures would simply have been known as dragons, great beasts, or perhaps even among the kinds of magnificent animals described in passages like Behemoth in the book of Job. Whatever name people used, they were part of the "very good" creation God made during Creation Week. The tiny arms of Tyrannosaurus rex aren't evidence of a failed evolutionary experiment. They are another reminder that God's creation displays remarkable engineering, thoughtful design, and purpose, even in places where scientists are still searching for answers.

God's Creation, 100 / evolution, 0 HOW DID DINOSAURS SURVIVE THE FLOOD? One of the most common objections to the biblical account of Noah's Flood is this: If dinosaurs lived alongside humans, how could they have fit on the Ark? Many people assume the Ark could never have held dinosaurs because they picture only the largest species such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Diplodocus, Triceratops, or Stegosaurus. However, that assumption overlooks several important facts. First and foremost, Scripture tells us that God brought representatives of every land-dwelling, air-breathing animal onto the Ark. Genesis 7:14-15 "They and every beast after his kind... every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind... and every fowl after his kind..." "And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life." If the Bible is God's inerrant Word, then dinosaurs were not excluded. They were land animals with the breath of life, just like every other animal God commanded Noah to bring aboard. The next question is size. While movies often portray dinosaurs as gigantic monsters, most dinosaur species were actually much smaller. Many were no larger than a sheep, a pig, or even a medium-sized dog. Even among the largest species, there would have been no reason to take the oldest and biggest adults. Young adults or juveniles would have been far smaller, required less food, and still been capable of reproducing after the Flood. Dinosaurs also laid large clutches of eggs, making young animals plentiful. Bringing juvenile representatives would have been the most practical solution. Another important point is that Noah did not need every species of dinosaur. Genesis repeatedly says animals came according to their kinds, not modern species. Just as a single dog kind could eventually diversify into wolves, coyotes, foxes, and domestic dogs, the same principle applies to dinosaurs. Noah only needed representatives of each created kind, greatly reducing the number of animals on board. The Ark itself was enormous. At roughly 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, it contained over 100,000 square feet of deck space. Studies by Answers in Genesis and other creation researchers have demonstrated that it had more than enough capacity for the required animals, food, and supplies. What happened after the Flood? The fossil record shows that countless dinosaurs perished during the global Flood, which explains the vast dinosaur graveyards found around the world. But Scripture indicates they were not completely wiped out. Since representatives of each kind left the Ark, dinosaurs would have lived alongside humans for a time after the Flood before eventually becoming extinct. There is also historical evidence that people encountered dinosaur-like creatures after the Flood. Ancient cultures around the world recorded dragons in their artwork, carvings, paintings, and written accounts. Numerous traditions describe large reptilian animals remarkably similar to dinosaurs. Some researchers also point to the human and dinosaur trackways at the Paluxy River in Texas as evidence that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time. Perhaps the strongest biblical evidence comes from Job 40, where God describes Behemoth: "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee... He eateth grass as an ox... He moveth his tail like a cedar... He is the chief of the ways of God..." (Job 40:15-19) The description does not fit an elephant or a hippopotamus, as is sometimes claimed. Neither has a tail remotely comparable to a cedar tree. Instead, the passage describes an enormous plant-eating animal with tremendous strength and a massive tail, characteristics that many creationists believe closely resemble a sauropod dinosaur. When we consider the biblical text, the size of the Ark, the use of juvenile animals, the concept of created kinds, and historical accounts of dinosaur-like creatures after the Flood, the idea of dinosaurs aboard Noah's Ark is entirely reasonable within the biblical worldview.

The Giants of the Dust: How Dinosaurs Witness to Creation and the Deluge For generations, the secular world has used the bones of the earth’s greatest creatures as weapons against the word of God. They have turned the dinosaur into an icon of deep time, spinning a narrative of millions of years to blind the eyes of men from the truth of Genesis. Yet, when we cast away the lens of evolutionary skepticism and look upon these monumental relics with scriptural clarity, the bones do not cry out for evolution; they bear undeniable witness to a swift, masterful creation and a terrifying, global deluge. The very dust of the earth testifies that God created all life in the beginning, and that “the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” (2 Peter 3:6). To understand the true history of these magnificent beasts, we must return to the sixth day of creation, when the Almighty spoke into existence every creeping thing and beast of the earth. Dinosaurs were not the prehistoric precursors to man, but his contemporaries, fashioned by the same Creator to display His unmatched power. God Himself shatters the illusion of deep time in the book of Job, directing man’s attention to the greatest of His land-dwelling creations: “Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox” (Job 40:15). This was no elephant or hippopotamus, for the text declares, “He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron” (Job 40:17-18). Here, preserved in the oldest book of the Bible, is a vivid description of a sauropod dinosaur, walking alongside mankind, a testament to the declaration that He is “chief of the ways of God” (Job 40:19). The secular narrative insists that these creatures were wiped out by a stray asteroid millions of years ago, yet the physical evidence buried in the crust of the earth tells a vastly different story—one of water, suffocating mud, and sudden catastrophic death. All over the globe, dinosaur fossils are found in massive, tightly packed graveyards, their bones tangled together in deep layers of sedimentary rock laid down by water. Even more telling is the “death pose” in which so many of these skeletons are frozen: necks arched back, mouths open, and tails extended. Modern forensic geology acknowledges that this posture is the unmistakable result of asphyxiation and drowning in a violent aqueous catastrophe. They were overwhelmed in a moment, precisely as the windows of heaven were opened and the fountains of the great deep were broken up. The fossil record is not a record of gradual life over eons; it is a monumental graveyard capturing the final, desperate moments of a world under the righteous judgment of God, when “all flesh died that moved upon the earth… and every man” (Genesis 7:21). If any doubt remains that these fossils are thousands of years old rather than millions, the stones themselves have begun to yield the truth. In recent decades, secular researchers have been confounded by the discovery of unfossilized, pliable blood vessels, soft tissue, and intact protein fibers inside the femur bones of giant dinosaurs. By all the known laws of chemistry and decay, such organic material cannot survive for millions of years; its presence proves that these creatures were walked upon the earth recently, buried rapidly by a massive flood just millennia ago. The preservation of this soft tissue is a silent, undeniable rebuke to the timeline of the scoffer. It reminds us that God’s word stands sure, and that the physical evidence of the earth will always align with the absolute truth of His revelation. The giants of the past did not evolve, nor did they die out in a world without man; they were made by His hand, judged by His flood, and their remains stand today as a permanent warning that the Word of the Lord is settled forever in heaven. #thelordsreturn #dinosaur #dino #theword

God's Creation = 100 / evolution = 0 DINOSAURS AND HUMANS TOGETHER? THE PALUXY RIVER TRACKS CHALLENGE EVOLUTION The Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas has become one of the most debated fossil sites in the world because of the tracks found there. Dinosaur footprints and human-like footprints found in the same rock layers raise serious questions about the evolutionary timeline that claims dinosaurs died out millions of years before man ever existed. If mankind supposedly arrived only recently, then why are there tracks that place humans alongside dinosaurs? Instead of honestly questioning the timeline, some have even resorted to suggesting time travelers to explain away the evidence—rather than simply conceding that the Bible may be correct. But even that kind of explanation raises its own question: why would advanced time travelers go back in time just to run around barefoot with dinosaurs? The Bible teaches that man and land animals were created during the same creation week, not separated by millions of years. According to Genesis, both humans and dinosaurs would have lived on the earth together before the global Flood in the days of Noah. Massive catastrophic flooding would also explain how footprints could be rapidly buried and preserved in sediment before hardening into rock. The evolutionary narrative depends on the assumption that rock layers and fossils formed slowly over vast ages of time, but evidence like the Paluxy tracks continues to challenge that claim and point toward a young earth and a recent creation. The truth is that many people have been taught to trust the theories of men more than the Word of God. Yet again and again, discoveries in archaeology, geology, and paleontology continue to expose serious problems in the evolutionary story. The Paluxy River tracks remain a powerful reminder that the Bible’s account of history stands firm and consistent, while the claims of evolutionary theory continue to shift and change with time.

GOD'S CREATION = 100 / evolution = 0 The Pennsylvanian Handprint: Evidence That Challenges Deep-Time Geology In Pennsylvanian sandstone—rock assigned by geologists to over 300 million years in the Pennsylvanian Period—reports of a distinctly human-shaped handprint raise a serious challenge to the standard timeline. This remarkably preserved impression reflects palm lines, a thumbnail impression, and subtle webbing between the fingers. The finding forces an inescapable dilemma for the evolutionary narrative and uniformitarian geology: either humans existed during the Carboniferous Period, walking among what evolutionists call “ancient” forests and creatures, or the sandstone itself is young, rapidly formed, and misdated by scientists committed to the assumption of deep time. No amount of rhetorical maneuvering avoids this binary conclusion. The evidence calls into question the assumption that the geologic column represents slow, gradual processes over vast ages and instead points toward rapid, catastrophic burial. This handprint aligns with the biblical record of a young Earth shaped by Noah’s global Flood, when massive sediment layers were laid down in weeks or months, entombing humans and animals together. Supporting evidence includes polystrate trees piercing “millions of years” of strata, human-like footprints found alongside dinosaur tracks in nearby Texas formations, and soft tissue in supposed ancient fossils—all of which point toward rapid, worldwide deposition rather than eons of slow accumulation. The evolutionary story collapses under its own weight. The handprint is not an outlier; it is clear evidence of GOD, the Creator who formed the world in six literal days, just as Genesis declares.

GOD'S CREATION = 100 / evolution = 0 Evolutionists claim that a single asteroid wiped out every dinosaur—large and small, on land and in the sea—yet somehow left sharks, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, birds, bees, and countless other creatures alive. That claim doesn’t hold up. A global catastrophe of that magnitude wouldn’t selectively target one group while leaving so many others largely unaffected. The idea that dinosaurs alone were wiped out, while a wide range of equally vulnerable species survived, defies common sense. This kind of selective survival exposes a serious weakness in the narrative. If an asteroid truly caused a mass extinction, its effects should have been broad and consistent across many forms of life. Instead, we’re asked to accept a highly unlikely scenario that appears shaped more by the story being told than by solid, consistent evidence.

GOD'S CREATION = 100 / evolution = 0 DINOSAUR SHOCKER - REAL DINO BLOOD FOUND. In 2005, paleontologist Mary Schweitzer shocked the scientific world by reporting soft tissue and blood vessel structures inside a fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex bone. For the first time, stretchy tissue, cell-like shapes, and vessel-like tubes were found where only stone should have remained after 65 million years. While evolutionists struggled to explain how such fragile material could survive so long, creationists pointed out that the obvious explanation is that these bones are not millions of years old. Now, a new study published in September 2025 pushes the evidence even further. Using an advanced technique called Resonance Raman imaging, researchers detected specific chemical signatures of hemoglobin fragments—the very protein that carries oxygen in blood—inside fossils of T. rex and Brachylophosaurus. Unlike the 2005 discovery, which revealed tissue structures, this new work maps actual molecules and shows how heme, the iron-bearing part of hemoglobin, has degraded and bonded to minerals inside the bone. This is not contamination, but genuine dinosaur biochemistry still present in the fossils. This discovery highlights an even deeper problem for evolutionary timelines. Hemoglobin is known to break down in mere thousands of years, even under favorable conditions. Finding recognizable remnants in fossils claimed to be over "70 million years old" is inconsistent with “deep time.” But it makes perfect sense in light of the Bible’s history: these dinosaurs lived only a few thousand years ago, perishing in the global Flood that rapidly buried and preserved their remains. Once again, the rocks are crying out with evidence that God’s Word is true.

GOD'S CREATION = 100 / evolution = 0 A TWO-HEADED DINOSAUR IN STONE This is a remarkable fossil of a two-headed Hyphalosaurus, a long-necked aquatic reptile found in China. The fossil is so well preserved that even delicate details are intact, showing this creature was buried rapidly before decay or scavengers could destroy it. Such stunning preservation fits perfectly with catastrophic conditions like those described in the global Flood, which entombed countless animals suddenly under layers of sediment. As far as the two-headed genetic deformity, even today, we see two-headed snakes and turtles, and it reminds us that genetic mutations have existed from the very beginning. Far from being a “new evolutionary step,” this is an example of how the created order has been subject to corruption ever since sin entered the world. This fossil proves two things. First that creatures were entombed in an instant due to the worldwide flood; and second, we are in a fallen creation where even life itself bears the marks of brokenness. Yet even in this, God shows us reminders of His Word—the Flood described in Genesis and the reality of a world awaiting redemption.

GOD'S CREATION = 100 / evolution = 0 MOKELE MBEMBE…A LIVING DINOSAUR? Deep in the dense, untamed jungles of central Africa, across regions like Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon, reports have persisted for generations of a mysterious creature. Eyewitnesses describe an animal with a long neck, a powerful tail, and rounded tracks marked by three claws. The closest known match to this description is not a modern animal, but a sauropod dinosaur. When locals in the Likouala region sketch what they have seen, they consistently draw something that mirrors the form of a sauropod. Even more striking, when shown images of these dinosaurs, they identify them directly as Mokele-mbembe. The name itself means “one who stops the flow of rivers,” and early European explorers, including a French priest, described it plainly as a monstrous animal. Descriptions remain remarkably consistent. This creature is said to be comparable in size to a hippopotamus or even an elephant, with reported lengths ranging from 16 to over 30 feet, and in some accounts from Cameroon, even larger. Its long neck and tail, sometimes measured at several meters each, align closely with known sauropod structure. Some witnesses even report a distinctive frill or crest on the back of its head, similar in appearance to a rooster’s comb. Over the past two centuries, multiple expeditions into these regions have returned with similar testimonies. The consistency is not random. It demands explanation. If such a creature were confirmed alive today, the implications would be massive. Not just for zoology, but for the entire evolutionary framework that insists these creatures vanished millions of years ago. Yet from a biblical creation standpoint, this presents no contradiction at all. Scripture tells us that all land animals, including dinosaurs, were created during creation week. Before the modern term “dinosaur” was coined, cultures around the world referred to these creatures as dragons, behemoths, and leviathans. Job 40 gives a direct description of behemoth, a creature whose features align far more closely with a massive, tail-swinging land giant than any modern animal. According to the biblical record, animals were preserved on the Ark, likely as juveniles or eggs, and lived alongside man after the Flood. Over time, changing climates and human activity would have driven most to extinction. But in a world still filled with unexplored regions, it is not unreasonable to consider that remnants could persist in isolated environments. The reports surrounding Mokele-mbembe do not prove its existence, but they are far from empty stories. They are consistent, widespread, and rooted in real testimony. And they leave open a question that evolution struggles to answer, but Scripture already has.

THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK DEVOTIONAL The Ultimate Door-to-door Salesman. By Hall Steenson December 15th, 2025 I was old enough to read, but I didn’t know what the word solicitor meant. It was a daring sign on a neighbor’s front door that said, “No Solicitors.” When I asked my mother what it stood for, she told me that they didn’t want any door-to-door salesmen bothering them. So I stayed away from that house on several occasions during my youth when school, Boy Scouts, or paper route promotions called for a knock on their door. I didn’t want to be thought of as a solicitor, and certainly not a door-to-door salesman. I have to admit it must have been that little sign that put a bad taste in my mouth for door-to-door salesmen, so I was glad to see them go the way of the dinosaur. It had been years since I’d actually had anyone knock on my door and attempt to make a pitch for their product—that is, until the early morning of November 8, 1976, when I heard one knocking at 6:00 a.m.​ That’s pretty early for a salesman, but I’d been waiting for this particular one for almost 20 years. And this time, I was ready to listen.​ “What do you want, sir?” I asked. “I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:18–20. He had knocked on my door once before, at the tender age of eight—knocking patiently, calling my name, and asking me to open the door.​ “Come in,” I’d called out, but He just stood outside the door, knocking and telling me what He had to offer. I’d grown tired of listening, turned away from Him, and refused to open the door.​ Several years later, I saw Warner Sallman’s picture of Christ standing at the cottage door, knocking and wanting to come in; and even many more years before, I realized there wasn’t a door handle on the outside of the door! The door could only be opened from the inside. My door could only be opened by me. On that chilly November morning, I opened the door, and the ultimate door-to-door Salesman walked into my life. He offered me the gold of faith tried by fire. He covered me with His white robe of righteousness so that my sins might be forever forgotten. He anointed my eyes with the Holy Spirit that I might see and understand that His Word is for both instruction and correction.​ I repented.​ He forgave.​ We dined together. Today, Christ still stands at the door of men’s hearts and knocks. It must break His heart to know He has done all that was in His power to provide love, mercy, and eternal life for every individual behind every door, yet He has no power to open that door on His own.​ It takes you—body, soul, and spirit totally surrendered to Him—to turn that handle.​ Take down your “No Solicitors” sign and open your heart’s door to Christ. Invite the Ultimate Savior in to dine with you today!
