Since the early 19th century, discoveries of fossilized bones have fascinated scientists. From Mary and Joseph Anning’s 1810 discovery of the bones of a marine reptile in Lyme Regis, England, to the discovery of the mysterious and ferocious dinosaurs in 1820, these forgotten giants, buried beneath layers of rock and earth, have opened our eyes to creatures beyond our wildest imaginings. But long before the discovery of these bones, the Bible offered us glimpses of strange creatures that had frolicked in the sea and sailed through the air. The mighty leviathan, who is described as a great marine beast writhing through the ocean, and the strange and fearsome winged serpents who floated through the arid desert air populate the pages of the Scriptures, telling us that perhaps these creatures were brought to life by the hand of a loving creator. In this program we’ll take a look at some of these amazing creatures: who they were, where they lived and what their origins were. Join us as we take a fascinating look at these giant marine reptiles, flying creatures and dinosaurs in this week’s episode of The Incredible Journey.
