Dinosaurs Need Friends, Too

Dinosaurs were once thought to be solitary and uncaring, but evidence now shows they lived in social groups and cared for their young. Companionship, seen across creation, reflects God’s love.

References: Proverbs 18:24

Jonathan Cotton: Did dinosaurs need companionship? The answer next on today's Creation Moments. And now, here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: Those who believe in evolution have always thought that only warm-blooded creatures valued companionship and love. So for generations, dinosaurs, which are supposed to be much further down the evolutionary scale of living things, were seen as hard-hearted, dull-witted, uncaring creatures which didn't even care whether their own young lived or died. Scientists are learning that dinosaurs often live together in communities, building nests, caring for their young, and traveling together, even when they had no need for protection. In some sites, huge dinosaur tracks show that various kinds of dinosaurs lived in groups close to each other, and that the same kinds generally followed their own pathways.

These discoveries at several sites and involving many different kinds of dinosaurs have convinced scientists that dinosaurs were very much like modern animals in their social habits. In other words, dinosaurs needed friends, too. That almost all of these creatures value companionship tells us a little about our Creator. Scripture reveals more details about this aspect of the Creator when it tells us that he created man because he wanted someone to love. Do you know his love for you through Jesus Christ?
