Walking with Dinosaurs
I took my son (9), daughter (12) and nephew (5) to see “Walking with Dinosaurs” last night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
It was a very cool experience, especially for the boys. I must admit, my daughter and I weren’t as into it as they were, although I did learn some things. And it wasn’t ever boring, just not my passion.
My 5-year-old nephew was probably the most versed among us as to the names of the dinosaurs, and he simply could not wait for T-Rex to make her appearance. He was not disappointed.
As a Christian, I was just remotely apprehensive about what “evolution” messages were going to be delivered, wondering if I would be fumbling to answer questions from my kids about how the dinosaurs fit into the creation stories they learn at church. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was “just the facts,” interesting, strictly historic/scientific, and in my opinion, would not bother even the most fundamental creationist.
I’d recommend the show, which is on-tour for at least a couple more months.

Thank you for the info on the show not teaching evolution. I would like to take my daughter to see it and I to was thinking the same thing you were. What helped me to understand creation VS evolution was a book call Life-How did it get here? By evoluion or by creation, in this book the forword says: Millions of people today believe in evolution. Other millions believe in creation. Still others are uncertain what to believe. This book is for all such people. It presents a thoroughly researched examination of how life got here-and what this means for the future. So if you would like a copy just ask the next Jehovah’s Witnesse that knock on your door.

My family went to see this show in Ft. Wayne. It was amazing in my opinion. It still blows my mind to see how far technology has really come. Seeing the people up in the high rise using their arms and bodies to control the movments of the dinosaurs. WONDERFUL! Great pictures!
