Pterosaur at the Salad Bar?

Some biblical creationists do not cotton to the expression "YEC," as young earth creationist implies that a young earth is the starting point. Rather, we believe that the earth is young because the Bible clearly indicates recent creation; it is true from the very first verse.

It may come as a shock to some people, but when reading the creation account, Genesis 1:30 says that everything was vegetarian! If something has nasty sharp big pointy teeth, that does not guarantee it is carnivorous. Many are, of course.

Aside from the spaghetti-loving lioness and other modern exceptions to the "pointy teeth means carnivore" assumption, take a look at the pterosaur that was eating greens. Advanced technology used on a pterosaur fossil showed that it did just that. There were two strong indicators that this was not just an exception or that it scarfed down some green garnish along with meat. What has been discovered is evidence for the biblical creationist position on animals eating plants at the beginning.

The fascinating flying reptiles called pterosaurs are in the news again. In a not-so-surprising development, paleontologists have discovered a pterosaur fossil that was found to have small stones (used in the gizzard to grind food) and plant microfossils at the stomach mass. This indicates the pterosaur ate vegetation, lending credibility to the creation model. According to evolutionist Eric Ralls, “The research [of Jiang et al.] provides direct evidence that at least one pterosaur species ate plants.”
