Was the mighty T-Rex actually a predator, or do some facts about and features of of the “tyrant lizard king” point to it being more likely a scavenger (eating dead things) and not a predator (killing live things)?
COULD CREATIONISTS ACTUALLY AGREE WITH AN EVOLUTIONIST??
Check out this video clip of renowned paleontologist, Jack Horner, the main consultant behind the Jurassic movies!
Jack makes some interesting points with which a creationist can agree, such as his statement...
"We just started looking at the evidence and seeing what the evidence said about T-Rex..."
In the program, "Valley of the T. Rex," Horner points out that T-Rex' tiny arms, shallow tooth root, massive head and bones, large olfactory organ, and longer thigh (in comparison to a longer shin of the smaller velociraptor, for example) are more befitting a slow-walking scavenger.
Supposition? According to the evidence, T-Rex was not designed to run fast, catch prey, and voraciously eat it as the destructive, dangerous monster he's depicted in the movies! Hence, some scientists are re-considering whether the Jurassic star was truly a dangerous predator! Since fossils (dead things) are what they study, most if not all of our ideas about dinosaurs are based on imagination and not observation. (We don't see this creature walking around today.)
While the word "dinosaur" isn't in the Bible, because it wasn't coined until 1841. The King James version is dated at 1611 and refers to creatures such as "dragons" (Psalm 74:13), "behemoth" (Job 40:15-24), and "leviathan" (Job 41) which breathed fire! In truth, evidence from observable science regularly confirms the Biblical account of a young earth and the narrative that dinosaurs have lived at the same time as man since Day 6 of Creation Week!
(more to come!)
