Description
This is Ken Ham, on a mission to strengthen the global church with God’s Word.
Many cultures have legends of beasts we call dragons. The Australian aborigines have legends of a lake monster that sounds surprisingly like a plesiosaur. The Babylonians carved creatures that look like reptiles on four legs. Herodotus, an ancient Greek writer, described flying serpents he saw in Egypt that had bat-like wings.
What are these people describing? Well, they sound an awful lot like dinosaurs, marine reptiles, and pterosaurs! This makes sense in a biblical worldview. All these creatures were created during creation week, along with man. Man lived with dinosaurs, and dragon legends could be the memories of this time.
