Bit of a specialized question here for creationists. Mokele-mbembe: the living sauropod dinosaur hiding in the Congo. [Spirituality & Religion]
Question: Many young earth creationists believe that if they could prove this animal to be real then this would disprove evolution. How? Are there any young earthers here who could explain to me how finding a living (non-avian) dinosaur would disprove evolution or even present a problem?

@PinkPunk I think that's birds,.. Something to do with the hip bones I think....I think crocs, etc, reptiles branched really than Dino's but don't quote me
@PinkPunk Good question. Evolved from some groups of them, maybe, as are the birds. The Cretaceous / Tertiary mass-extinction wiped out most the dinosaurs but not all of the reptiles; nor the early mammals. The crocodilians were around and must have survived.
Crocodiles co-existed with dinosaurs and share heritage as archosaurs but they are not dinosaurs. Birds evolved directly from dinosaurs and are in fact still a subgroup of dinosaurs.
