He created Dinotopia, all the books were written and illustrated by him.

Yeah and my 6 year old dumb ass used to look at these and think this meant that dinos and humans lived in harmony at one point in history.

Evangelical Christians actually believe that though. At the creationist museum theres weird dioramas of dinosaurs pulling carts and playing with kids and stuff, I cant make this up.

grew up evangelical christian
Probably played into my confusion / misunderstanding. I'm still a Christian, but I mean like I can't just ignore science. Some of the things Evangelicals believe is just so blatantly dumb.

I'm OK with this reality and will now adopt it as my own.

So you believe that a specific man from Galilee in Judea was the embodied form of the almighty creator of the universe, killed as a sacrifice to cleanse humanity's immortal souls of the impurities that would eternally separate them from communion with their creator?
That's what I remember from Sunday school, and just like you I don't see anything in there about a super young Earth, or contemporary dinosaurs, or God hates ***s, or embryos are people. Evangelicals really do like to toss whatever they feel like on top of the core premise, don't they?
Good on ya, friend, for not falling for their bullcrap! π All that core premise stuff is pretty cool, though.

Man that hardcover book was truly something special when I was kid. I fucking loved dinosaurs, and the stunning art, the exciting Swiss Family Robinson style story, and just the awesome concept of a utopia of humans and dinosaurs was revolutionary for me. Man I need to see if I can find that old book....

This legitimately made my nostalgia well up so much that I went online and found they have a 20th anniversary edition of the original book in hardcover. Well that is now my impulse purchase for this paycheck

Really? I'm on it as well.

I still have mine! It's in great condition too, all the pops ups still work great. I loved it as a kid and could never bring myself to get rid of it

But remember the words of Lee Crabb, who was technically correct when he declared it a "Terrible Place."
