But looking down the cliffs into the dry and barren valley, visitors can imagine another world far removed from their own​—the world of the dinosaurs.

Discovering Dinosaurs

The Different Shapes and Sizes of Dinosaurs

OF ALL the life-​forms now extinct, dinosaurs have perhaps most stimulated the imagination of humans.

What Happened to the Dinosaurs?

This is evident regarding dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs As an archaeologist and geologist, I quite enjoyed the Awake! articles on dinosaurs. (February 8, 1990)

Dinosaurs I found the February 8, 1990, issue on dinosaurs to be fascinating.

Dinosaurs My name is Ronald, and I am ten years old.

I am very interested in dinosaurs and hoped for a report on them for a long time.

One of the theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs is that a large impact altered the atmosphere and plunged the earth into an extended period of cold weather through which the dinosaurs could not survive.

Dinosaurs The article about dinosaurs (February 8, 1990) was very practical for our country, where many people believe in evolution.

Public Health Service observed: “We all live under the haunting fear that something may corrupt the environment to the point where man joins the dinosaurs as an obsolete form of life.”

Last year a national forum, addressed by nearly a hundred biologists, warned that coming was a wave of mass extinctions such as wiped out the dinosaurs, only this time it would not be by a natural development but “by human activities.”

Cat to dog would at least be mammal to mammal, whereas Gould says “dinosaurs evolve into birds.”

“Dinosaurs evolve into birds”?

This is the mysterious area that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used as the setting for his science-fiction novel The Lost World, in which he wrote of an isolated tableland where dinosaurs still roamed.

No, there are no dinosaurs there.

Speaking of dinosaurs, where do they fit into the creationists’ scheme of things?

In their view, human beings and dinosaurs and every other kind of animal, extinct or extant, lived on earth at the same time before the Flood.

He added that there are three more of the same kind of dinosaurs that will be dug up later.

Dinosaurs were the giants of the animal kingdom, a remarkable testimony to God’s power of creation.

Why have the technological “miracles” of the 1960’s become the shipping “dinosaurs” of the 1970’s?

Some have predicted the “death of the deep-sea dinosaurs.”

Eliseyev recently theorized in Soviet Weekly that dinosaurs may have suddenly disappeared from earth because they had rickets.

“Perhaps,” it remarks, “Eliseyev’s next job will be to explain why Russian dinosaurs’ skeletons are twisted while those found in the West are not.”

Some claim that the climate changes triggered by this impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and of other land and sea animals.

“Your articles have helped me in school, including the ones on the oil spill (September 22, 1989), the extraterrestrials (April 8, 1990), the dinosaurs (February 8, 1990), and many others.

“The real significance of finding the skull is that for the first time we’ll be able to determine whether this dinosaur is related to well-known dinosaurs in North America,” said Philip Currie of the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology at Drumheller, Alberta, Canada.
