Many think that the existence of the dinosaurs is just a myth or a mystery. And some of them ask this kind of question, if they do really exist then where were they? Dinosaurs are used more than almost anything to convince children and adults alike that there have been millions of years of Earth history.
The records of their history is contained in the fossil layers over the Earth that were deposited over millions of years. Some believe that something happened to change all of this and evolution is trying to draw their idea about the cataclysmic event. They said that an asteroid hit the Earth and such catastrophic happen and that causes change of climates which affect all life especially the “Dinosaurs”. But do Dinosaurs really exist? There are some evidences that it exist: First, the fossils that was being found, the marks that they made and the historical artifacts.
This research is about one Dinosaurs that extremely different from the other dinosaur that we were thinking about or pictured to. Almost all of us when we speak about them we thought of something big and ferocious. Yes! It’s true that they are ferocious but not all Dinosaurs are big. There are Dinosaurs that is small as chicken yet they are incredible and fearless than Lion.
Dinosaurs are called “lizard-hipped” or “bird-hipped”, depending on how their hip bones were arranged. They stood on either four legs or two and walk with straight legs tucked beneath their bodies. Dinosaurs are the only reptiles that have ever been able to do this. One example that I’ll be trying to introduce is the Compsognathus according to encyclopedia, it was one of the smallest known dinosaurs. It was only 3 ft. (1 meter) long, weighed just 8 pounds (3.5 kg), and stood not taller than chicken. It must have been swift and efficient hunter. One specimen has found with the tiny bones of a tiny lizard in its stomach cavity. It was one of the record breaking dinosaur. Compsognathus was a meat eating dinosaur. Meat eating dinosaurs were powerful, fast hunters that ate preys larger than themselves. But Compsognathus was one of the small meat eaters, all have short, muscular bodies, slender arms, and low, powerful tails that balanced strong back legs with bird like feet. With large eyes and dagger like teeth they were formidable predators. Meat eating dinosaurs like them had much larger brains than plant eating dinosaurs. The tools of eating was their hands, they caught and ate their prey. But they ate only those smaller than them like lizard or eggs of the other dinosaur. Compsognathus (/kɒmpˈsɒɡnəθəs/; Greek kompsos/κομψός; "elegant", "refined" or "dainty", and gnathos/γνάθος; "jaw") is a genus of small, bipedal, carnivorous theropod dinosaurs. It was discovered by Dr. Oberndorfer in limestone deposits in the Riedenburg-Kelheim region of Bavaria, southern Germany in the late 1850's. It was named by Johann A. Wagner in 1859. Only two Compsognathus fossils have been found; one in Germany and one in France. . . . Compsognathus is believed by many scientists to be an early elative of Archaeopteryx, often considered to be the first bird.
Supporting this belief is the fact that the bone structure of Compsognathus is quite similar to that of Archaeopteryx, and the two dinosaurs were about the same size. They also lived at the same time in history, which would have made it difficult for Compsognathus to be an ancestor.
. . . On the other side of the argument, Compsognathus had hollow bones, like modern birds, but Archaeopteryx had solid bones. But while Compsognathus didn't have a collar bone, perhaps one of its relatives did, but then it doesn’t fit each other. There are a lot of speculation and different conclusion happen to this dinosaur and they were searching for more facts about it. Despite to that argument what we know about it is simply this Dinosaurs belong to Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Clade: Dinosauria, Sub-order: Theropoda, and Family: Compsognathidae.Again a lot of research has been made in order to find out its origin and they were still in the process of finding out.
These animals doesn’t exist today yet they leave a lot of things and marks which prove and tell us that they really exist and they were once lived here. Today’s notion that birds evolved from dinosaurs is widely accepted . . . In fact, it is being commonly maintained that dinosaurs still survive today in the form of birds. If that is true, then which of the living birds today is a dinosaur? If it evolve then, is there any birds today continuously evolving?
Genesis 1:20-23 New International Version (NIV)
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
This verse will help us solved the problem that there is no such thing as evolution. For God had made everything according to its kind. Meaning God definitely made each animals by how he desires it to be. He created lion as lion different from tiger though they are in one family. Eagle as eagle different from sparrow. He created such animals according to His purpose and plan. He created them differently though there were similarities yet they don’t have same composition as how it was made. God’s creation is already perfect no evolution happen for God is not a god of evolution. He is perfect God. He made everything perfectly and wonderfully. The adaptation of animals is just part of how God created them to be and how He put each one their instinct whether they are cat, dog, mouse or monkey. Each has its own instinct and adaptation. They know how to adapt in weather, seasons, and in environment. But to change in form is a different thing. I may draw a lot of things about this but one thing that I want to stress is that God made everything that includes the dinosaurs. The question when do they exist is not for me to know because it wasn’t clearly stated but for sure they exist and God caused them to exist.
