The word '''dinosaur''' was coined in 1841 by Richard Owen<ref>http://www.trueauthority.com/dinosaurs/about.htm</ref>, from the [[Greek]] for "terrible lizard" (fututor).  Dinosaurs were a group of large [[reptiles]] that previously lived in abundance on Earth.

'''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.
