[asa] When were dinos discovered?

If you ask AIG when dinosaurs were first discovered, here is their
answer:

Q: What do creationists mean when they say dinosaurs were re-discovered?

A: Most people have the idea that we discovered dinosaurs when scientists
found and examined their bones back in the 1800s. But when you think
about it, this idea is really based on the evolutionary belief that
dinosaurs never lived with people.

According to the Bible, all land animals—including dinosaurs—were made on
Day 6 of Creation Week. So they actually lived alongside Adam and Eve.
Therefore, when some scientists say that we first discovered dinosaurs in
the 1800s, we say that, from a biblical perspective, they actually
rediscovered them.

Furthermore, the many “dragon” legends from cultures around the world are
most likely stories about the creatures we now call dinosaurs. Dragons
are actually referred to a number of times in the Old Testament. (The
word “dinosaur” wasn’t coined until 1841.)

When someone asks you, “When were dinosaurs discovered?” you can start
from Genesis and reply, “They were first discovered about 6,000 years
ago, when Adam saw the first dinosaurs!”
