It depicts young Eve gardening, while a velociraptor steals veggies for its lunch. For real!

Raptor teeth are ideal for tearing it into shreds small enough to swallow.

Everyone knows that Eve had blonde hair and blue eyes. She almost looks, well, you know, not like an American.

When fiction passes for truth, there is massive weakness. Religion passes off much fiction as truth, and then punishes those who speak truth.

Just as science sometimes explains things that can be weaponized, religion has done and does do evil in the name of God. That's because both are products of the human mind, which can create deities or discover the secrets of the atom.

Humans are funny, but dangerous, mammals.

If man can edit what is written in the fax from god, why do we need god?

at this link, too:

https://answersingenesis.org/dinosaurs/humans/

For example, from that link:

Dinosaurs and Humans Together
There are many references to historical evidence of dinosaurs and man living together, such as the petroglyph in Natural Bridges, Utah, legends and stories of dragons in Europe, and use of the dragon motif by the Chinese. But one striking physical in Asia is the bas-relief picture of a dinosaur in the ruins of Angkor outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia.


This is what happens when religion ignores science. It leads to all sorts of mischief.
