missionary lizards - not what you might think

Came across this today:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/spread-gospel-with-dinosaurs

Here are some direct quotes:
When dinosaurs are used to spread the gospel, they become “missionary lizards.”

There may have been only 50 or fewer original kinds of dinosaurs that God created on Day 6 of Creation Week.

We also need to remember that dinosaurs were on the Ark.

Some of the dinosaurs that survived for a while after the Ice Age likely were referred to as “dragons.” Most of these eventually died out or were killed.

These missionary lizards uphold the authority of Scripture, and they can be powerful tools in sharing the salvation message

We rejoice that many have been won to the Lord using the true history of these missionary lizards.

I especially like the part about "most" dinosaur/dragons died out. Has anyone spotted a living one recently?

I guess maybe they're taking "komodo dragon" literally?

Or they're listening to the thing about how "birds are modern dinosaurs" and getting all hypocritical on us.

But this is me answering the question as if it's not rhetorical.

There's nothing so stupid that somebody won't believe it.

Did the dinosaurs/dragons die out due to the difficulty of procreating in the one true position?

I think there was a documented case of parthenogenesis in a Komodo dragon in the London zoo.

The problem is it's not stupidity. It's a willful decision to contort the truth to any shape they need it to be. The people who do that can be quite intelligent, and rather harder to convince then merely stupid or uneducated people.

How come I just got as far as the word 'saurischian' and started picturing Jim Morrison?

6: If you're answering me, I used the word "stupid" in reference to the content, not the believers.

The people who create this sort of nonsense appear to be adequately intelligent and articulate as well as remarkably cynical. It's the people who fall for it and adopt it as gospel who seem not to be letting anything like sense, never mind factual evidence, interfere with their mind-boggling credulity.

Here's the wonderful truth about how dragons breathe fire, about 2m 30s in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKIoP4oeeOE

To all you Americans who think you have a monopoly on these loonies, here's proof that we (in the UK) have our own home-grown nutters, complete with medical qualifications.

Scary.

"Their nostrils caught fire" and "we don't have any fossils from WWI"!

Obviously, evolution doesn't affect all of us equally; some advance and some, sadly, get left in the dust.

This reads like the sort of pamphlet I'd find in the Creationist Museum. Just enough real information to guile the unwary.
