Dinosaurs: Lost World of the Bible
by
Chris W. Ashcraft, MS.,
M.Ed.
Seattle Creation Conference, October 2010.
Description:
Dinosaurs have inspired countless myths and legends, but where do the facts meet with the Bible? Paleontologists assert that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, long before humans ever walked the Earth. But, this view is in stark contrast to the creation account in Genesis, which states the both humans and land animals were created on the same day.
This presentation will provide a summary of the naturalist perspective of dinosaurs, and then looks to the Bible for insight into their true history. Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? Were they also placed on Noah's ark? If so, why are they now extinct? These and other key issues will be answered in this popular talk.

About the Speaker:
Chris
Ashcraft is a Christian educator employed as high school science
teacher at Cedar Park Christian Schools, and Adjunct Professor at
Northwest University. Formerly, Chris was a
biology research tech specialized in plant tissue culture, and
genetic transformation technology. He was employed at the Cotton Fiber Production Laboratory at Texas Tech
University and the Plant
Transformation Facility at Oklahoma State University, and lastly was the Plant Transformation Specialist for EDEN Bioscience
in Bothell Washington.
He obtained a Bachelor of Science in biology from Wayland Baptist University in 1989, a Master of Science in biology from Texas Tech University in 1996, a Master of Education from the University of Washington in 2008, and a Master is Teaching Math and Science from Seattle Pacific University in 2012.
Chris moved from research science into the teaching profession to serve God in Christian education. His decision was motivated by the impact that secular science is having on people of faith. Today, close to 50% of Christian students lose their belief in God while attending secular schools. This tendency could be lessened if the Church was better equipped to defend the authority of Biblical teachings (1 Peter 3:15). To be prepared for these challenges, it is important that Churches provide regular educational programs on creation and other Bible apologetics.
