Dr/ John C. Whitcomb, a brilliant theologian, formerly a paleontologist and curator of a museum, had coauthored The Genesis Flood with the founder of the Institute for Creation Research, Dr. Henry M. Morris. While Dr. Whitcomb had been a devoted evolutionist, he was questioned by a friend as to the basis of his belief in this system. When he realized that his reasoning fell short of proper scientific cause for life, he investigated and finally embraced the Biblical scientific basis of life. He now maintains: "The only Book God ever wrote - The Bible - gives the opposite picture from the evolutionism I was taught in my youth and at Princeton University."

In accordance with the Genesis flood of Noah's day, Dr. Whitcomb, believed that dinosaurs as lizards are small in infancy could have been on the ark, but the changes on earth after the flood made it impossible to survive for many of them. The category of "Dinosaur" actually means "terrifying Lizard," of which many scientists agree that some huge alligators and crocodiles are examples in existence today.
