    Doesn't that actually disappoint evolutionists, because they don't believe Dinosaurs and humans walked the earth together because Dinosaurs are from so long ago...

    The Evolutionary theory states that everything evolved over millions
    of years. Evolutionists say that dinosaurs came from six million years
    back. They also say that the Earth is four to six billion years old. They
    say that fifty million years ago there was horses no bigger than dogs, and
    birds as tall as man, three hundred million years ago giant dragon flies
    buzzed around in the large forests, six million years ago small animals,
    called trilobites, lived in the sea and were rulers of the world.
    Evolutionists think that the world started off with just plants on it, then
    came many- legged animals from the sea (walking fish) that took over. They
    feel that a certain kind of fish evolved into the first four-footed
    animals. After millions of years those animals tuned into dinosaurs. That
    is how dinosaurs got started. Then finally the dinosaurs died off and
    little, furry, four-legged creatures appeared. These animals were called
    mammals, which then took over the world. Then those mammals evolved into
    man. The Evolutionists believe, very strongly, that dinosaurs were extinct
    millions of years before there were even any people to walk the Earth.

    Christian view...

    "Look at the behemoth which I made along with you and
    which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has
    in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly!
    His tail sways like a ceder; the sinews of his thighs
    are close-knit. His bones are tubes among the works
    of God, yet his maker can approach him with His sword.
    The hills bring them their produce, and all the wild
    animals play nearby. Under the lotus plant he lies..."
    -Job 41:15-24

    Uhm, no, it doesn't. There is nothing in the quoted article that suggests in any way that dinosaurs and humans were contemporaries.

    I don't understand your confusion. What is the inconsistency you are objecting to, specifically?

    It's generally accepted that the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago.

    Yep!

    From your article on Predator X:

    According to this article about megalodon:

    It seems every year the T-Rex looks like even more of a bitch than the previous year.

    It hasn't aged gracefully.

    It's now also being theorized, by a segment of paleontologists, as more of a scavenger than a predator. Soon, it'll turn out to have been the prehistoric version of Santa Claus, with candy canes for teeth.

    The T-Rex was made into an icon during the first two Jurassic Park movies. Then when it was discovered that it couldn't even run at a great speed. That's when things started to plummet.

    Velociraptors were made out to be badasses by Jurassic Park as well.

    Unfortunately they were misnamed by Crichton because Velociraptors were about 3 feet tall and ate dino eggs.

    The Velociraptors as popularized by Jurassic Park are called Deinonychus.

    Utahraptors were bad-ass.

    I don't follow you. Humans weren't around concurrently with dinosaurs. The fossil record shows this.

    I see your Megalodon and raise you a Argentinosaurus, which grew to be about 120 feet and over 100 tons.

    Plant-eaters hardly count. This is an apex predator showdown.

    The prehistoric equivalent of "tiger vs. polar bear."

    Ah, want to play that game eh? OK, I see your Megalodon and raise you a Blue Whale which comes in at 108 feet and 172 tons. Although their pray tends to be on the microscopic side they are still a predator. :D

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You're just mad that I trumped your Predator X.

    But, I'm sorry to report, blue whales don't qualify as "apex predators" because they aren't at the top of their food chain. Orcas prey on blue whales. I can only imagine (with some sympathy for the blue whale) what a megalodon would do to a blue whale.
