EXPLANATION of the
following Dinosaur Park photos. God created a succession of
“worlds” (Heb. 1:2; 11:3) in “the generations of the heavens and
of the earth” (Gen. 2:4) in the time-gap between the first two
verses of Genesis. This included e.g., the Triassic World (245
to 208 million B.C.), Jurassic World (208 to 144 million B.C.),
& Cretaceous World (144 to 66.4 million B.C.).
