He was wonderful. He talked to the kids level & kept their interest for over an hour. He described how God created the dinosaurs (formed). Then due to Adam & Eve's sin (fallen) sin came in to the world. God took sin out of the world & saved Noah (flood). Then the memory of the dinosaurs began to lessen with each generation removed from before the Flood (faded). Fast forward to when fossils began to be discovered & the dinosaurs were then found. Those were the five "F's" that he taught the kids.
A dinosaur foot print.
Do you really want to know??? It's fossilized dino dung.
At the beginning of the program he allowed six families (we were one) to come up for a contest. We had to roar like a dinosaur & he had the sound guy pick a winner. We didn't win the contest, but all did win a small piece of fossilized dino dung. It looks like a nicely polished stone. I carried it around in my pocket all day.
More of the fossils he brought. There were some neat pieces of amber. He also had a fossilized teddy bear. It fossilized in a mere four months. As he said, it was all in the environmental situation not time that causes fossils.
J is standing by femur bone (I think) to a dinosaur of some type. Pretty big isn't it.
My boys had a really good time. At least B did. I think a lot of it went over N's head & most of it went over J's head, but they were still pretty good throughout the talk. I was so thankful that Wendy put this together for us. It was great.
I totally believe that God created EVERYTHING...dinosaurs included. There was no big bang, and that theory just can't explain anything...but GOD can.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. My son would have loved a whole thing about dino's! :) Gald you had fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's AWESOME! I'm going to check out that website. Perhaps he has a video of his lecture or something our co-op can check out. We are going to study the ancients this fall. TOG Year 1.
