What's That in the Background?!

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth!

Hi ,

I'm pretty sure you've never heard of Peter Bruegel, the Elder. He was a Dutch/Flemish artist who lived between 1525-1569. One of his most interesting paintings is the one pictured below, entitled "The Suicide of Saul". It depicts the epic battle between the Israelites and the Philistines in which both king Saul and his son, Jonathan, both died. It was painted in 1562 AD.

But, the fascinating thing about it is what appears in the far background. Across the river, an army is on the move. And, among the soldiers and other animals are three very distinct creatures. These are no ordinary animals. There are three very clear creatures which look remarkably like large sauropod dinosaurs! And, people are riding on them! A closer view is seen here:

Remember when this painting was made. 1562! That is long before Darwin's theory of evolution ever became known. Long before any controversy about dinosaurs ever existed. Long before dinosaurs were even known in our modern world! Long before it was "decided" that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago! What are they doing pictured in a scene painted in 1562?!!

This brings up a very interesting question: Were they still alive at the time Peter Bruegel made this painting, so that he depicted something he assumed happened back in Saul's day? That is entirely possible since many artifacts depicting dinosaurs living with man have surfaced in recent years.

This confirms, yet again, that the evidence is pointing not to dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, but that dinosaur extinction has happened gradually over the last 5,000 years since the end of the global flood referred to in the book of Genesis.

This painting is featured in our new DVD on dinosaurs that was just released. This is just one of the many artifacts showing dinosaurs with man found around the world.

In Christ,

For Christ's glory,
