A writer, as the old saying about reporters goes, is only as good as his or her sources. Whom does Ken Ham quote for information about dinosaurs? Take a look at this:ジュラシックパークの設定は、若い地球の創造論に反して、古い地球を前提にしているが、Ken Hamはお気に入りのようだ。
記者についての古い諺にあるように、執筆者は情報源以上に良いものにはなれない。では、Ken Ham [若い地球の創造論ミニストリAnswers in Genesis主宰]は恐竜について、誰を引用しているだろうか?これを見てみよう。That’s right. He goes straight to one of the leading authorities on dinosaurs in recent years, namely Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park and The Lost World.
But the average size of a dinosaur, based on the skeletons found over the earth is about the size of a sheep.[38]
[38] M. Crichton, The Lost World, Ballantine Books, New York 1995, 122 "Dinosaurs were mostly small .... Peole always think they were hugh, but the average dinosaur was the size of a sheep or a small pony", According to Horner and Lessem, The Complete T Rex 1993, 12 A "Most dinosaurs were smaller than bulls".
そのとおり。彼は近年の、恐竜の権威の一人、Jurassic Park and The Lost Worldの著者Michael Crichtonを引用している。
