Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? Are dragon legends basedon human encounters with fire-breathing dinosaurs?

A vast and ever-growing body of literature proclaims thatthe answer to both these questions is yes. The Real Story of Dinosaurstakes readers on a madcap journey through science, folklore, and anti-evolutionpropaganda to explore the origin and evolution of these ideas and how we knowthey're wrong.

The journey begins with the origin of the dragon in ancientmyth and continues through the astounding fossil discoveries of more recenttimes. Dr. Senter examines a plethora of bizarre claims about dinosaurs anduses knowledge from modern scholarship to set the record straight. He alsoexplores proposed mechanisms for fire-breathing in dinosaurs and tries them ina court of science. Along the way, readers are treated to explanations ofrocket fuel, nuclear power plants, carnival fire-eating, the electric eel'sshocking capabilities, and what's up a crocodile's nose.

Written in a playful spirit of discovery, The Real Story of Dinosaursentertains as it promotes evidence-based reasoning and illustratesthe differences between science and anti-evolution hype.
