Ken Ham and Kent Hovind and their ilk have been trying to appropriate dinosaurs for creationism, so help them out and go along with it. Help yourself to these examples of biblical paleontology.
Remember, you don't need to actually know anything to do biblical paleontology—just make it up as you go along. Your only tools are your imagination and photoshop.

Well, my imagination tells me John the Baptist just mistakenly baptised the apatosaurus behind him--hilarity ensues!

The above depiction is entirely inaccurate.
Everyone knows that the dinosaurs went extinct in the great flood of Noah's time. And that was way before Jesus.
Duh!

However, some dinosaurs could fly...

You've got to appreciate John the Baptist's new dance move.

For a moment I thought that the tyranosaurus in the background of the last supper was Cthullu draped over a hut in the back.

Looks like a scene from a musical, doesn't it? I mean, even the dinosaur looks like it's singing! It looks like a scene from Puccinirock's opera, "I Battisti di Dino-Terra". And why not? Anything -- any freaky... er, I mean "divinely inspired" thing at all -- can make sense in this game... if you'd only just believe.

There was a nice one of Jesus riding an apatosaurus and holding an iguana at Conservapedia's entry on dinosaurs, but it's gone now so it may have been a subversive addition (come on out there, 'fess up). I nabbed it before it got removed, but it's on my work computer.

I think this site is making fun of Chtistianity, not the other way around, We lost the nature of it when Luther split the Church. He lamented later in life, "I tried to change a pope and I got 100 popes."
So it is not fair to link all Christians to the 7 day creation.

The Physicist, you do must realize that you are talking about the same Luther who said that the idea of thinking that the sun and not the earth was the center of the universe would lead humanity to physical and spiritual ruin, and that all Jews should be forcibly deprived of all their worldly belongings and made to wail and gnash their teeth before being put to death.

No, no, no, that's actually the Loch Ness Monster. This is Hogwarts, you see -- note the Giant Squid in the background? The "Jesus figure" is actually Albus Dumbledore back when he was a young man by wizarding standards -- only about one hundred or so. The tall guy behind him is Hagrid, and the scene depicts Dumbledore's hiring of Hagrid to be the groundskeeper at Hogwarts.

...so, Christianity is not making fun of this site? Awww. I'm disappointed.
Oh yeah? If that's true, how do you explain PYGMIES + DWARFS???

I have yet to have a creationist or flood believer explain to me how marine mammals like whales dolphin and Manatee survived the great flood but marine dinosaurs all died out.
There were so many air breathing swimming dinosaurs you would have imagined they would flourish on all the dead animals floating round in the flood water and being reptiles it would not matter if it was fresh or salt water.
Another great mystery I guess :-) LOL
