Dinosaurs and Man Living Together?

That's why they believe that the bible is valid evidence in the first place. You could present all of this and they'd go 'So what? It's my faith and that's more important than your evidence." If that wasn't their thought process they would never believe that dinosaurs and man co-existed in the first place. So your whole process for approaching someone with such an out of place worldview doesn't seem very practical.

In fact I'd be very concerned with legitimizing the bible as meaning anything in terms of scientific evidence. If you say that the description for dragons in the bible doesn't match up with dinosaurs, so man didn't live with dinosaurs, can't a creationist legitimately believe in dragons because they are in the bible?

Surprised I never saw this. The thing is that the bible can't much stand on its own like it did in the past. Humans have changed enough were even the strongest of positions can be shaken if evidence is shown. If the bible said dragons are real but then there are no evidence of dragons then the bible look worst. Plus if the bible says real dragons then where do dinosaurs fit in? Any way they go it is a suicide for them. I am also more trying to address creationism more than christianity. Some christians already do say dragons exist and dinosaurs don't, but the idea is ridiculous
enough that many christians stray away from people like that in order to look good. Again if they go by actually definitions for the words in the bible then they are showing that it is full of myths that it claims are real. If not then they have to lie in order to do it. When the lie is uncovered eventually the whole movement will collapse. Again it would be suicide for them.
