Abstract
Stoke's article sets out to criticize and refute the creationist model of earth history as it relates to the dinosaurian reptiles. Paul S. Taylor's book, The Great Dinosaur Mystery (1987), written for children, is particularly singled out for attention - Stokes calls its contents "a contrived fairy tale" (p. 26). However, Stokes' commentary consists of many misrepresentations and some easily-avoidable errors.
