'''Dinosaurs''' were large, reptilian creatures which, according to modern science and fossil records, existed on earth from 230 million years ago to 65 million years ago. The entire population of dinosaurs were supposedly wiped out by a mass extinction event (usually thought to be an asteroid) about 65 million years ago. Due to this description opposing what God said in [[Genesis]], young earth creationists hotly contest this view. The word '''dinosaur''' was coined in 1841 by Richard Owen<ref>http://www.trueauthority.com/dinosaurs/about.htm</ref>, from the [[Greek]] word δεινόςσαύρα, meaning "terrible lizard".

According to evolution science interpretations of fossil records, dinosaurs existed on earth from 230 million years ago to 65 million years ago. The entire population of dinosaurs were supposedly wiped out by a mass extinction event (usually thought to be an asteroid) about 65 million years ago.  Young earth creationists hotly contest this view, because it contradicts the creation story in [[Genesis]].
