Dinosaurs: Dawn to Extinction

It's a one-week school break for Ashrie and it's time for a treat! So we went to the Art Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands last weekend to see Dinosaurs: Dawn to Extinction. It was our first time to be at the venue (although I was part of the design team who did its foundation works). 

We booked our tickets online and collected the tickets at the venue. The exhibition was laid-out as if it was telling the story of how these giant creatures started out as simple sea organisms then developed fins and legs, eventually went out of the water and then evolved to a more complex reptilian/mammalian creature. Well, something like that.

It dated back to "600 million years" and showcased fossils, skeletal and animal models. It even shows the predecessors of these creatures and the theories of how they became extinct.

At the end, there is a complimentary art/craft project for kids and kid-at-hearts. And as all museums have, a souvenir shop at the exit.

During the entire time of the exhibit, I had this question in my mind about the timeline that all of these occurred. With all the scientific knowledge that was presented to me, I was searching for the answer with regards to the biblical truths that I know and believe about creation.

If you have the same questions, this article can shed light. It placed the dinosaurs in the biblical timeline, answered the question about where Adam and Eve was during this time, explained how old the earth is, and where these creatures are mentioned in the bible.

Again with the light stuff, we had late lunch back at the mall after more than two hours trek inside the museum. And as a final hurrah for the day just before going home, Jane and Ashrie decided to take the Sampan Boat Ride which is exactly inside the MBS.

If you wish to see the dinosaur exhibit, it is still up until 27 July 2014. Local residents get a special discount. You can book your tickets here.
