Our final session in our Creation series examines three more problems for Darwinian Evolution. Darwinian Evolution has used observed similarities in structures and species as evidence of evolution for decades. However more research and new technologies have allowed us to gain a better understanding of the human body and many other species. How do these traditionally held Darwinian beliefs hold up to the science?

View the full series and free downloads at https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/creationseminar/ A common argument against the Genesis account is that there are no dinosaurs recorded in scripture or dinosaurs laying next to men in paleontology. However the evidence says otherwise. When looking closer we can see descriptions of dinosaurs-like animals in scripture. And when looking at ancient cultures we can find stories and art about dinosaur like creatures living with man. Why is that?
