Why?

Seriously. What, you want an episode where they come out of the Time Tunnel in Jerusalem, and the pteranadons get to hang with Jesus for a day? Talking about dinosaurs WITHOUT mentioning evolution is like talking about strip clubs without talking about titties.

Evolution is not a scientific fact, it's a scientific theory.

You are not alone among strangers, a way has been chosen.

darwin's "theory" of evolution has survived, as is for over 150 years now.

even he himself knew that his theory wasin't complete because although he knew what happens during evolution (natural selection), what changes are involved in an animal's evolution such as changes in body shape, coloring changes for camoflague and so forth, he didn't know what factors causes these changes.

genetics wasn't discovered until about 40 years after darwin wrote 'On the origin of species by natural selection and DNA wasn't discovered until the 1950s, some 90 years after he wrote the book. but the fact is that each new discovery of the mystery of life re-enforces Darwin's theory instead of refutes it

the problem that creation presents is there is no way to substaniate it scientifically unlike evolution, it requires a "leap of faith" to believe it exists

the problem is that it took over a century after darwin wrote the book to be accepted in most schools and creationist are still trying to establish creationism as scientific fact under the new name of "intelligent design" a name which was invented to get around the law of "division of church and state"

Unless creationists find SOME way to prove that creation is scientificaly proveable in lab conditions, and these results are repeatable like evolution is, it will never be more than religous dogma was, just like it was once religous dogma that the earth was flat and if you sail far enough away from land, you'll fall of the edge

Yes, I too am a Christian and I don't seen any need for protests against Dinosaur Train. In fact, I have noticed very few references to evolutionary processes. For that matter, on the spur of the moment I can't say that I can recall for sure a single one. I assume that the conductor has probably at some point said that some dinosaur "evolved this feature and it helps them to survive by......." but I can't give an example from memory.

For that reason, I would be curious to hear what specific statements in Dinosaur Train have upset my anti-evolution Christian brethren. Or are they simply unhappy that there IS an emphasis on various time periods: Cretaceous, Jurassic, etc. ???

Technically, I suppose someone could accept the time periods as factually based on the relative positioning in the geologic strata (older fossils appear below newer fossils) but this would hold true even if one were to ignore the various estimates in millions of years for the various species. So I will ask: Is that what is irritating the anti-evolution commenters here?

Frankly, if the Dinosaur Train producers were to avoid the "millions of years" evidence and pretend that all of the creatures (and humans) lived at the same time, that would do a grave disservice to young people. Indeed, I wish I had learned more of such things at an early age when the brain is best able to retain them! In fact, I wish they would use their clever song writing skills to help viewers memorize ALL of the various eras! I learned them years ago in college but they vaporized from my brain long ago. So I wish I knew a catchy song that would help me know how to relate the Ordovician properly in comparison to the Paleozoic Era.

After all: I hope even the evolution opponents realize that once their children get in college and take a biology or geology course, they are probably going to have to KNOW all of the geologic ages in their proper order--- whether they "believe in them" or not! Knowledge is knowledge.

Of course, once they take a course where they actually LEARN the many categories of voluminous evidence for The Theory of Evolution [including the alleged "macroevolution" which opponents deny], they will realize that there is no reason to deny reality. My study of the Hebrew text of Genesis convinced me that there is denial of evolution there in any case---and Genesis certainly doesn't deny billions of years.
