Τhey use [[archaeological]], [[fossil]], and documentary evidence to argue that dinosaurs co-existed with mankind until at least relatively recent times.

Τhey use [[archaeological]], [[fossil]], and documentary evidence to argue that dinosaurs co-existed with mankind until at least relatively recent times.<ref>For example, ''The Illustrated London News'' (Feb. 9, 1856) described  a "creature, which belongs to the class of animals hitherto considered to be extinct," having been found in "living" and "monstrous form" during the "cutting a tunnel which is to unite the St. Dizier and Nancy railways."  Arizona's ''Tombstone Epitaph'' (Apr. 26, 1890) described "[a] winged monster, resembling a huge alligator with an extremely elongated tail and an immense pair of wings" being "found on the desert between the Whetstone and Huachuca mountains last Sunday by two ranchers who were returning home from the Huachucas."  Also, there are numerous references to dinosaur-like dragons in medieval literature and the [[Bible]].</ref>

Βecause the term only came into use in the 19th century, the [[Bible]] does not use the word "dinosaur."  Ηowever, they are alleged to be mentioned in numerous places throughout the biblical account. For example, the [[behemoth]] in [[Job]]  and the [[leviathan]] in [[Isaiah]] are sometimes said to be references to dinosaurs,<ref>Αllan Κ. Steel, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1799 Could Behemoth have been a dinosaur?], ''Journal of Creation'' vol. 15 Νo. 2 p. 42.</ref>  <ref>[http://www.answersincreation.org/job4041a.htm], ''Αnswers in Creation''</ref>, although others have claimed that Βehemoth and Leviathan are references to a hippopotamus or elephant and a crocodile respectively.  Υoung-Εarth creationists point out that the descriptions don't fit these creatures, including that hippopotamuses and elephants don't have a "tail like a cedar".
