HUGE
DRAGONS recorded and written about by Pliny The Elder , (Gaius Plinius
Secundus ) 23 A.D to 79 A.D . Pliny The Elder was an author, naturalist,
and natural philosopher as well as a naval and army commander of the
early Roman Empire. In his book Natural History (Naturalis Historia) He
records and describes what seem to be what we today call dinosaurs
............
BOOK EIGHT: CHAPTER . XI: "Elephants
breed in that part of Affricke which lyeth beyond the deserts . India
bringeth fouth the biggest: as also the dragons that are continually at
variance with them, and evermore fighting, and those of such greatnesse,
that they can easily claspe and wind round about the Elephants, and
withall tye them fast with a knot. In this conflict they die, both the
one and the other:"
"the Elephant hee falls downe dead as conquered,
and with his heavie weight crusheth and squeaseth the dragon that his
wound and wreathed about him."
CHAPTER XII: "...the dragons ware
hereof, entangle and snarle his feet and legges first with their taile:
the Elephants on the other side, undoe those knots wiht their trunke as
with a hand....the principall thing the dragons make at is the eye . Now
these dragons are so big withall, that they be able to receive all the
Elephants bloud. Thus they are sucked drie, untill they fall down
dead..."
CHAPTER XIII: "In Ethyopia there be as great dragons bred, as in India, namely twentie cubits long.(approx. 30 feet)
CHAPTER XIIII : "Megasthenes writeth, that there be serpents among the
Indians to that bignesse, that they are able to swallow stags or buls
all whole . Attilius Regulaus, generall under the Romanes, during the
warres against the Carthaginians, assailed a Serpent neere the river
Bagrada, which caried in length 120 foot..."

COULD IT BE THAT DINO'S AND MAN ACTUALLY LIVED ALONGSIDE ONE ANOTHER , and very recently ?
Did these artists witness these animals for themselves ?

JUST WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF MAN AND DINOSAUR CO-EXISTED ?
Louis Jacobs , former president of the society of Vertebrate Paleontology ......
"Such an association (man and dinosaur) would dispel an Earth with vast
antiquity . The entire history of creation , including the day of rest ,
could be accommodated in the seven biblical days of the ......Genesis
myth . EVOLUTION WOULD BE VANQUISHED ."
Mr Jacobs does not hold
to the biblical worldview , this is obvious by his calling the Genesis
account myth , but he clearly understands that if man and dinosaurs
co-existed then it is the final nail in the coffin for the Evolutionary
Paradigm .
From the evidence that is available , which spans every
tribe and nation globally , it is obvious that man and dinosaurs
co-existed . The very book (Bible , Word of God ) he attempts to claim
as myth contains eyewitness accounts of what are clearly known by us
today as DINOSAURS .
