TAPS. - I've been to Drumheller Alberta in western Canada
The website I linked to in this post is admittedly depicting the ravings of a small obscure group but they are not alone. There are great numbers of people attempting to refute what we understand of the Earth's chronology but even more disturbingly, attempting to discredit modern day science in general.
As for live dinosaurs existing today, I think it is safe to say that all macro species living on land on this planet have had nowhere to exist undetected since the advent of satellite photography. We can assume that there are micro species as yet undiscovered and our knowledge of what is in the depths of our oceans is incomplete but if something is bigger than an average dog, it can no longer exist undetected for very long.
This reality puts the kibosh on the National Enquirer's claims that there is a large population of Sasquatch living in the Canadian north.

Hmmmm...I've studied dinosaur remains and evidence in many places such as Northwest Colorado, the dried sea beds of Kansas, New Mexico, and even places in Spain, but I never thought about looking for live ones. That's a hoot. Since I checked your link, I also did some googling and it is claimed there are live velociraptors in Puerto Rico's El Yunque National Forest. I had thought that was the fiction of the book, "Jurassic Park". My interests in Paleontology has never conflicted with my beliefs that The Holy Bible is God's Word to humans.

BrightIrish - are there really people raising their children this way?
That is the part I find the most alarming.

That may well be the truth of it but I always wonder when they cloister in groups.

Kabu:- Re: . the Wolves were calling again. Beautiful but chilling as well
The wolves are pleading with Awonawilona, the creator of all, to lift the banishment of his beloved coyote and take him back up into the heavens.
I could not possibly agree more: " . . . such silly nonsense as taking the Bible for a Scientific book is going to breed more silly nonsense"

Katray2 - Re: Ha, believe it or not, Gomedome, those relatives of mine..:)
That would likely be the same type of dating technology that those same folks would claim is unreliable if not indicating favorable results. I still find myself surprised at the lengths people will go to in attempts to reconcile some of the most preposterous ideas when they are motivated by the underlying desire for their beliefs to be true.

last night the Wolves were calling again. Beautiful but chilling as well.
Now that is as scary an animal that I want to hear in the dark of night.
Of course such silly nonsense as taking the Bible for a Scientific book is going to breed more silly nonsense.

Ha, believe it or not, Gomedome, those relatives of mine..:)
actually informed me awhile back that there was a big conspiracy to keep the truth about dinosaur DNA (found in tree sap in Brazil or somewhere) dating out of the public view because it proved the creatures were here on earth with man, not by themselves millions of years ago. Kind of sounded like a movie I saw, lol..Of course this was/is an attempt to disprove evolution, another reality that p$%%^s them off to no end.
