Dinosaurs from a YEC's viewpoint

Hello Everyone,
My name is Phillip O'Donnell and I am 15 years old. I am a Christian and a Young Earth Creationist. I wrote a book about about the history of dinosaurs and investigates encounters with dinosaurs in the last 100 years called "Dinosaurs: Dead or Alive?"-Dinoman15

Hi, new guy!Should I get started writing my book about people's encounters with leprechauns and trolls?

your website sounds like a lot of speculation and doubt building.how about some real proof (hint, i'm not going to buy your book).also, what does a dinosaur have to do with finding jesus?

Let me guess. The people who encountered dinosaurs ... not one of them happened to have a camera on them, right?What a shame.---Could you explain something to me? Why do Creationists pretend that there are still living (non-avian) dinosaurs? I mean, sure, it's untrue, but not every ridiculous falsehood about biology supports Creationism. This one definitely doesn't.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

You know I gotta say... no matter what it's about, having written a published book at 15 is pretty impressive.

Gotta agree with that.

I used to write pretty good fantasy/sci-fi stories when in my teens (decades before the invention of Print On Demand through which anyone can now easily self/vanity-publish), and I was intelligent enough to know that it was fantasy fiction that I was writing, not fact!I'm not impressed at all.There are thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of teenage authors who have their books available through the P.O.D. companies. Amongst it all, there will be some good stuff, but 95 to 99% of self-published stuff ranges from poor through to terrible and even incomprehensible, whatever the ages of the authors.You could copy and paste all your posts on this site into a document, Dan, and have it available in book form on Online Self-Publishing Book & Ebook Company | Lulu in a few days, entirely for free, and for about $150 dollars they'll get it listed for sale on Amazon.com."Carroll's Pensees"It'd probably be more impressive than the young dinosaur effort!Edited by bluegenes, : Missing word!

Well Dinoman15, way to go. I bet it was fun for you, particularly when you got to actually sign those books sitting in the closet.I hope that it has been an enjoyable experience for you and I hoped that you learned a little bit about organizing material that will help you as you begin high school.I think the advent of the You Publish It electronic book market is great, I wish it had been around when I was a little kid.I understand that both the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon have short specials on kids like you that have neat hobbies. They had one kid that collected road maps and a kid that collected action figure miniatures. You should let them know about both you and your brother. I'm sure they would be interested in children that write little kids books.Good luck as you move on into the ninth grade. And don't worry that the subject matter makes you look really ignorant. Little kids are expected to believe in things like Young Earth and Living Dinosaurs and Sponge Bob Square Pants.

More Proof of recently living dinosaurs! 3/22/07

​

In the 1940's Archaeologist Ramon Pina Chan and Carlos Perea were excavating Indian tombs in Acambaro, Mexico when they discovered a mummified dinosaur-like creature! The animal however was later lost. However, video footage of their discovery will be released on DVD in a few months by Dr. Dennis Swift. Their discovery could be one of the greatest cryptozoological finds of the 19th century!

Patiently awaiting for the DVD.

Don't wait too long, or you'll miss sponge Bob square pants!

please tell me that the person who wrote this knows that 19th century refers to the 1800s, not 1900s.or does he mean to say they were digging in the 1840s?Granted, with the stuff about video clips, he probably means 20th century.not a great start.

Videotape didn't exist until 1956.

Dennis Swift is a theologist, not an archaeologist or anthropologist, and is one of the Ica Stone people. Enough said.

what about all the WWI clips? is that not videotape? or is there some specific term for this stuff that i'm just missing?
