Monoplacophora - Lazarus taxa Dinosaurs In this episode we explore the world of dinosaurs from a scientific and biblical perspective. The numerous dinosaur fossil remains distributed around the world have revealed many details about these animals but there are also plenty of myths, misconceptions and speculations that are important to differentiate from data and interpretations supported by evidence. Dinosaurs Skulls How can you tell the difference between a dinosaur skeleton and skeletons from other reptiles? There are a number of important clues, but one is of particular importance, the number of holes in their skull and where they are located. In this video, we look at a real dinosaur and compare it’s diapsid skull with other kinds of reptile skulls. Design In Fossil Organisms Have you ever had the opportunity to examine a real fossil? Maybe you have seen dinosaur bones or shells encased in rock. Do these remains of once living organisms look less designed than the creatures we find living around us? How might the same engineering challenges faced by living creatures have been solved by these ancient creatures? What do the conclusions we draw tell us about the Creator of these ancient yet elegant organisms? Shelley Quinn and Tim Standish, PhD Raúl Esperante - Dinosaurs, Fossils, and The Flood Raúl Esperante is a senior researcher at the Geoscience Research Institute and has a doctorate in Paleontology from Loma Linda University. His research projects include the study of fossil whales in Peru and the study of dinosaurs in different parts of the world. What do Fossils Tell Us? Fossils are fascinating objects that give us information about animals and plants of the past, but what do fossils tell us about origins? In this session of Fundamentals of Faith and Science, we explore the fossil record and its main features, as well as the different interpretations that have been proposed for its formation. Flood Geology In this episode of the Faith and Science Fundamentals series we present some geological evidence of a global catastrophe that completely changed the configuration of the earth's surface.
