The Creation Adventure Team was a series that released on VHS in 2002/3, then eventually DVD and Digital Video. It was produced by the Christian Ministry Answers in Genesis, known for their Creation Museum and questionable views on scientific consensus. The two VHS are 'unique' in the world of Christian video, as the directed to the watcher rather than a passive message.
This contains the following tropes:
- Artistic License Palaeontology
- The second episode recalls Buddy's story of finding 200 lbs of unfossilized dinosaur bones. However, 'soft tissue' in dinosaurs is incredibly rare, and the area where said bones were found also holds a large amount of mammoth bones, which may have been what he was confused with. Keep in mind that none of the members of the team were professional palaeontologists or archaeologists, and Buddy himself's main profession is in sculpting. Also the fact that the 'unfossilized dinosaur bones' have never been observed by an actual scientist, and probably never will.
- The video presents the Creationist canon of the rapid fossilization of animals in the flood of Noah. However, geological evidence for a global flood roughly 4000 years ago doesn't really exist, and the preferred scientific theory of fossil formation is somewhat different. Even though they do mention there are layers, it's much too obvious that different animals lived at different times in the fossil record. Even if not millions of years ago, there's no denying that animals in this layer are of similar ages. Add insult to injury to the fact that local floods 4000 years ago, discouraged by Ai G actually have an amount of geological proof.
- Artistic License – Religion
- As is the Creationist canon, the VHS makes the claim that no animals died before sin. However, it is likely that humans would not die, but does not necessarily mean immortality for all animals.
- As is Ai G canon, but probably not necessarily creationist canon, Behemoth and Leviathan of Job are identified as a sauropod and a water-inhabiting dinosaur respectively. There are several ideas of what Behemoth was, including a water buffalo, a rhinoceros, though the hippopotamus seems to be the most popular. Eitherway, it's safe to say these likely weren't dinosaurs.
