Bit of a specialized question here for creationists. Mokele-mbembe: the living sauropod dinosaur hiding in the Congo. [Spirituality & Religion]
[b]Question: Many young earth creationists believe that if they could prove this animal to be real then this would disprove evolution. How?[/b] 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.
