The Dinosaur Delusion
"The Dinosaur Delusion" effectively refutes the erroneous concept that dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans. In this 244 page book, the authors masterfully weave the scientific and historical evidence into the Biblical model of creation, showing that true science does not contradict an accurate reading of the Bible.

Overall, a good read. This book is written in an easy to read format, and is not particularly technical. That is not to say that it does not have valuable, nor accurate information. It is filled with thought provoking materials that should make anyone considering the question of creation vs. evolution think seriously and critically. Though filled with both scientific and historic principles, it is not overly laden with technical jargon...making it more easily understood for non-science readers (ie, those not in the scientific community, or those who are not "science majors").
There is quite a bit of repetition in the book, which is really my only complaint. Several principles are repeated from one chapter to the next, to make the very same point. It is almost as if every chapter is intended to "stand alone" rather than build one upon the next, from this perspective.
The authors provided ample footnotes, and an extensive bibliography for readers to be able to delve even deeper into the topics discussed, if they so choose to do so.

While I loved reading this book, and I very much enjoyed the laughs. I really can't condone unproven facts that are not supported by science.
So 3 stars for the fun, but 1 star in my heart for the lack of science
so a total of 2 stars
DISCLAIMER:
I respect that there are other beliefs and will say that this is purely my own.
I was accidentally gifted this book, I worked at a science museum- you can see where this is leading. The "proof" given is merely text or sketchy paintings, not much is commented or explained as to why there are no bones that overlap with humans, or tool marks on them that would have shown we were eating or hunting them (as we have done with most animals species, even our best friend the dog.
Honestly I would have to reread it, but I don't think it gives a solid explanation about why dinosaurs were wiped out and not EVERYTHING else.
On this book itself and not so much the content:
If you do believe in Creationism.
This would be a very good book for you. It will continue to support your beliefs and explain things in a way that fits with the traditional timeline. It is an easy to read well laid out book, the language is simple but doesn't make you feel stupid. Honestly these guys aren't half bad at writing even if I highly disagree. There are great illustrations and page layout, this is definitely not the worst book I have read
back cover
"For several decades dinosaurs have been laden with a backbreaking load of evolutionary baggage. They have been exploited by evolutionists, and used to force-feed the general population evolutionary propoganda. The Dinosaur Delusion effectively refutes the erroneous concept that dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans. The cumulative evidence presented by the authors proves an irrefutable case that humans and dinosaurs coexisted on Earth in the past.............." I can't type anymore but that's the gist of it.
In regards to how they word the back of the book I shall be less kinda
Them's fighting words, since when do evolutionist have an agenda?
How do exploit something that is extinct?
There is no effective refuting, there is no concrete evidence
Nothing is irrefutable
So 3 stars for the fun, but 1 star in my heart for the lack of science
so a total of 2 stars
