I'd learnt about Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, and the denizens of them. But this dude God didn't seem to know about iguanasaurs or ceratopsians or even mention any of these critters. You'd think our Benefactor would at least warn us about raptors or allosaurids.
I openly questioned these things in sunday school and was just told that we don't know why it isn't mentioned, but at least no one told me to question the veracity of what my teachers were telling me. Fast forward to today and Christians are openly hostile to basic lessons in science and Paleontology.
