Foundations of Creation: Volume 14

Dinosaurs are not a mystery that the Bible forgot — they are part of God’s creation, made on Day Six alongside every other land animal, and in this thrilling volume of Foundations of Creation, young readers discover what the Bible, history, and science together reveal about these magnificent creatures. The book opens with a careful examination of Behemoth and Leviathan from the book of Job, whose vivid descriptions align far more closely with large dinosaurs than with any animal alive today. The logistics of Noah’s Ark are addressed head-on: young dinosaurs of representative “kinds” — not every species, and not full-grown adults — would have been entirely manageable. Dragon legends from ancient China, medieval Europe, Native American tradition, and cultures across the globe are shown to reflect real encounters with creatures that people once knew. Ancient artwork and carvings — including a remarkably detailed stegosaur-like image at the Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia — are examined as potential evidence that humans and dinosaurs coexisted. The scientific centerpiece of this volume is the growing body of evidence that dinosaurs died out far more recently than claimed: soft tissue, blood vessels, proteins, and carbon-14 detected in dinosaur bones all point to an age of thousands, not millions, of years. Dinosaurs were real. The Bible knew it all along.

What is Foundations of Creation Volume 14 about?

Volume 14 argues that dinosaurs were created on Day Six with the other land animals and that the Bible, history, and science together support this view. It opens with Behemoth and Leviathan in the book of Job, which it says match large dinosaurs better than any living animal, and explains how young dinosaurs of representative kinds, rather than full-grown adults or every species, would have fit aboard Noah’s Ark. It presents dragon stories from China, medieval Europe, Native American traditions, and other cultures as memories of real creatures, and examines ancient art such as the stegosaur-like carving at the Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia. The scientific centerpiece is the soft tissue, blood vessels, proteins, and carbon-14 reported in dinosaur bones, which the book argues point to an age of thousands rather than millions of years.
