They dismiss scientific givens (oooh, ancient animals STILL exist on earth, shocking!) and take that little bit of information and make a grand supposition that makes no sense under any context.
Sure, alligators still exist. They're nearly perfect predators with very little need and/or desire to evolve past their near perfection. What's that got to do with dinosaurs? Or anything past proving another piece of evolution, really?
And dragons? REALLY?!?! "Near uniform description" is laughable and WRONG. Western dragons were completely different than their mythical Asian counterparts, which were different than mythical American versions, etc... It's not shocking that mankind, through fear, created terrible monsters based on the scariest creatures around, aka. lizards. Reptiles are emotionless, unpredictable, and very bizarre to a thinking yet primitive mammal. So they're told as tall tales around a campfire and a mythology is formed. You know, like the flood mythology from the Bible and countless other ancient religions. Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to use these "facts" to question Biblical canon, only those wacky evolutionists who are polluting our children.
I only watched the first video in this series but I've seen plenty of others. I thoroughly enjoyed watching my anthropology professor systematically tear this kind of shit to shreds with proven science.
As is typical of the kind of manipulative "science" used in videos such as this, they focus on trivial aspects of evolution that can be explained in multiple ways and ignore the absolutely huge TOMES of scientific data that directly contradicts the other "facts" they use to prove their point.
