Page 12: “Although the great flying and swimming reptiles are usually presented alongside the dinosaurs, they are classified differently by scientists. Dinosaurs are reptiles that walked on land and the Bible describes their creation just a few verses later, lumping them in among the ‘creeping things’ and ‘beasts of the earth.'”
2) Live Pterosaurs in America (3rd ed.)
Title Page: “How do some apparent nocturnal pterosaurs pertain to bats, and how are bats irrelevant? How could modern living pterosaurs have escaped scientific notice? These mysteries have slept in the dark, beyond the knowledge of almost all Americans, even beyond our wildest dreams . . . These mysteries have slept . . . until now.”
Page 1: “What a remarkably expensive word dragon has proven itself to be. No small number of Biblical translators has assumed a daunting debt on their conscience due to this creature’s stubborn presence in the native languages of our scriptures. We must fully calculate this cost.”
4) Dinosaur Challenges and Mysteries
From the Amazon book description: “In this landmark book, based upon many years of patient fieldwork and literature research, Michael Oard surveys and explains the dinosaur evidence, and proposes a viable mechanism for how all this may well have occurred during the Genesis Flood.”
5) Untold Secrets of Planet Earth: Dire Dragons
Amazon review: “. . . a very good book with excellent artwork. It shows proof that what is now called dinosaurs is what used to be called dragons. It also shows that people and dinosaurs existed throughout history together. So much for the evolutionary propaganda that dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. …”
6) Live Pterosaurs in Australia and in Papua New Guinea
From Introduction: “Are you a lucky eyewitness who has seen a living pterosaur? . . . well, maybe a cursed eyewitness? This is for you: eyewitness reports of large featherless flying creatures seen over the past few decades in Australia and in Papua New Guinea. You are no longer alone.”
