FACT: Velociraptors and cats used to hang out all the time.
Re is now one with the velociraptors...
...and so am I.
Look, he just wants to make sure you know that he's a velociraptor.
Nice plates you got there, Mr. Stegosaurus.
Baby Triceratops!
It's always nice to stand near palm trees while staring at snow-covered mountain tops off in the distance.
Interesting history here... the reason it says "No Climbing" is because Mr. Rex's tail used to be
hollowed out as an awesome slide that kids could ride down. Years later, it was filled in with concrete
(which you can clearly see) so now children can no longer experience the joys of a Dino-slide. :(
Egads! A turtle-wiener-dog hybrid!
Dinny is still hungry for more palm tree tops.
It should've read:
"NOTICE: YOU'RE ABOUT TO ENTER A GIANT, CARNIVOROUS KILLING MACHINE. PROCEED WITH CAUTION."
Papercraft dinosaurs are far less intimidating.
Making our way up the spiral staircase towards the head of the T-Rex.
At last, we've arrived!
Looks even cooler without a flash.
Re let's our her inner T-Rex for a mighty roar.
So as you can see, it's not nearly as spacious inside the dinosaur head as they made it out to be in
Pee-wee's Big Adventure, but that doesn't make it any less awesome. I mean, it's not every day that
you get to hang out inside the skull of a Tyrannosaurus and live to tell about it.
It's fun to look through the teeth and imagine you're about to eat one of those puny cars down below.
Gaze through the giant eye of the T-Rex!
Back down the old staircase we go.
Pile of dinosaur dung or a volcano model? You make the call!
Little known fact: Cavemen were really just angry, hairy little faces with limbs.
Those sure are some "great" questions to leave the kids with as they exit the belly of the giant T-Rex.
There's still more of the Cabazon Dinosaurs to see!

BTW, I'm a Christian too. Raised Southern Baptist even. There's tons of room to reconcile your belief in the Bible with the process of evolution - Kirk Cameron not withstanding.

Today has been a good day! Ranks right up there with the time I caught the ring he threw out into the crowd during the Pee-wee Herman show early last year!
You look so... uh, "special".
I wonder where the next eccentric, "build crazy awesome stuff until you die" artist like Claude Bell is... Or what wacktastic junk he's making...
The reason religious types fear science so much is due to fear of it unraveling their religion, and rightly so! If you apply science to any of the "facts" in ANY holy book it becomes apparent that it's all lies. Not just picking on the christians btw... this applies to all religions. Could something happen to your "soul" when you die? Sure! There's no way of disproving that. Is what happens something that's printed in a holy book? Unlikely, and even if it was it would be a concidence seeing as they are all made up. Religion = social engineering in primative times.
So you really need to pick a side, no offense, because if you look at religion scientifically absolutely none of it holds up.
So to answer your question in a shorter fashion, creationists believe as they do because science and religion can NOT co-exist. I mean not unless you are really willing to look the other way.
I'm not trying to stir things up btw, I'm just telling it like it is. You are welcome to believe anything you want, but someones beliefs will never get in the way of the factual universe and how things actually are.
The dinos themselves are amazing! Structurally they are an engineering marvel considering how they really should'nt be able to hold up. I plan on visiting them someday but I think I'll wait until they are bought out by new owners. ;-)
But yeah, it's pretty awesome that the super large ones have held up so well over the years. I just hope they last long enough for future generations to enjoy 'em, because they really are a must-see stop on any cross country road trip.
One thing I was suprised by was that giant snake. Seems like a bad idea. Out west...where there are a bunch of gigantic snakes ready to eat your face as it is...give some old lady a heart attack. Ok, I take it back, that's a great place for a giant snake.
