"Missionary Lizards": Christians hunt dinos to prove THEIR side

Oh My Goddess. Check out these people. They dig up dino bones to prove the dinos perished in Noah's flood. Check the quote from the 13-year-old.

Christian dinosaur hunters dig for signs of Biblical dragons

By Marcus Warren in Keldron, South Dakota
(Filed: 6/19/02)

Countless dinosaur bones lie buried in the rocks of South Dakota but the Christians excavating one remote cliff-face were digging not just for reptilian vertebrae but for the hand of God.

With screwdrivers, hammers and shaving brushes for tools, the group was seeking and, as far as it was concerned, unearthed proof that the animals perished not millions of years ago but in Noah's Flood circa 2300 BC.

Russ McGlenn who runs 'Creationist' dinosaur digs
To these believers in the Bible's literal truth, they are not dinosaurs but "missionary lizards", which are powerful weapons in the battle for young American hearts and minds.

Those certain that God made all living things, dinosaurs included, on Day Six of the Creation, are deploying ever more imaginative tactics in their struggle against schools and universities teaching Darwin's theory of evolution.

... "It's just dumb to believe that everything came from one kind of bang or fish or something," said Katy Carlson, 13, one of the youngest on the dig.
