In this short episode Dave Gamon answers this question from a mom here at Faith Bible Church: "I have a 5 year old son who is obsessed with dinosaurs. Although a great interest to have, it has brought to light the issue of the theory of evolution. All dinosaur books and documentaries are fraught with constant statements regarding the process of evolution in all aspects of nature. One book even went so far as to say humans we're evolved from prehistoric mammals that predate dinosaurs. How do I explain to him how dinosaurs fit into the story of creation from the Bible. There are many ideas online, but I want to make sure I am teaching him the biblical truth regarding the subject."
