Reply to the Skeptics

The following was written in a debate at Cryptozoology.com

BY PHILLIP O'DONNELL

I noticed that my last article stirred up the evolutionist skeptics. One of the them is someone who calls himself “Tony Cannon No. 2.” He believes that “Dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. How can anyone logically think they would still be alive today.” This thinking is a result of his belief in Evolution and the Geologic Column. He criticizes Dr. Swift’s research on dinosaurs, not with scientific facts, but attacks him for having a degree in Theology. Firstly, Dr. Swift has many other degrees in science. Secondly, don’t forget that the only degree Charles Darwin had was in Theology! Also remember that approx. 45% of today’s scientists don’t believe in Darwinian Evolution.

This skeptic also claims that the eyewitness accounts of living dinosaurs are “highly questionable” and that living dinosaurs is “a joke perpetrated by ignorant buffoons who use illogical assumptions about real science they are barely even smart enough to continually and obtusely misinterpret.” How did he come to this conclusion? How many witness and researchers has he interviewed? With my studies, I have come to the conclusion that we have no reason to believe the eyewitness were lying, and every reason to believe they were telling the truth! I have read hundreds of accounts and they mostly point to similar creatures of reptilian origin (possibly dinosaurs). Many of these accounts have been verified by researchers and by other witness, present at the encounter. Did you know that encounters of dinosaurs have been going on for thousands of years, long before people had discovered dinosaur bones (or knew what the bones were from). There are many photographs and film which would show to any open-minded researcher that the eyewitness accounts are genuine!

He says that if dinosaurs are still living then why haven’t scientists discovered one alive? Most scientists aren’t looking! However, there are few under-funded scientific expeditions looking for these rare creatures, which evolutionists refuse to accept their existence. One expedition member is Peter Beach, who has a thirty year career in Micro-Biology. Also looking for dinosaur-like animals is Dr. Roy Mackal, a leader cryptozoological research. I should also mention that the world’s leading cryptozoologist, Dr. Karl Shuker backs the hypothesis that plesiosaurs are still living. Dr. Edward Bousfield, a marine biologist and leading expert on sea serpents off the west coast said this, “Overall, Caddy (the west coast sea serpent) ranks most closely with marine saurischian, plesiosaurs, marine crocodilians, and marine mammals. In the light of available evidence… the tentative classification is that Caddy is reptilian animal, although with some mammalian traits.” He is basically saying that the west coast sea serpent most likely is a giant marine reptile, possibly related to the plesiosaurs or in the family of Moasaurs. If you study sea serpents, you note that plesiosaurs are included in many of the encounters. Given that my hypothesis is backed by verified eyewitness accounts, photographic and film evidence, and research from experts, I believe that a few dinosaurs have escaped extinction and are still living today. What do the skeptics have to back their hypothesis?
