wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
So, my girlfriend (who is a 7th day Adventist) brought home a book from her aunt. "A Creationist View of Dinosaurs, and The Theory of Evolution". The aunt knows that I'm an atheist who believes in evolution and an old Earth and all that scientific stuff. This is her subtle way of "educating" me. 
The book is full of the usual. Carbon dating doesn't work, the Great Flood killed everything, the Bible is factual evidence, etc. The entire book is hand drawn like a black and white comic book though, and some of the art isn't too bad. Someone put a lot of time into making it. Although it all comes across as religious propaganda to me, I read through it and found it interesting due to it's art and presentation.
HOWEVER, nothing could have prepared me for what would come at the END of the book:
The author proposes that Noah's Ark was most likely attacked by the dinosaurs (in their final dying moments) in the early moments of the Great Flood, It gets better. He also believes that not only did they attack Noah's immense vessel, but they did so because fallen angels, bitterly angry at God, were driving them to attack the Ark in an attempt to end humanity forever!!! And the only reason the Ark survived the dinosaur and fallen angel onslaught was because the devout angels still faithful to God fought them off in an epic battle!
That's fantastically AWESOME. I'd seriously LOVE for someone to make a Hollywood movie out of this. The movie could start out with Noah (played by Chris Hemsworth) building his ark and the rest of the community making fun of him. Then the mid act would be Noah collecting all of the pairs of animals from all over the world and herding them back to the Ark. And the last act would be the start of the Great Flood, with Noah setting sail and rebuking the frantic rest of humanity as they beg and plead with him to take them along, of course followed by the epic Angel and dinosaur battle as the movie's Grand Climax.
Fuck, I'd pay to see that movie!!!!!
I'll take a few pics of the artwork later and post them up, it's worth the effort!
EDIT: here is my post with some pics of the illustrations about the epic dino / angel battle:
