According to classical Greek religion, Chaos existed in the beginning, and then gave birth to Gaia (the Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), Eros (desire), Nyx (the darkness of the night) and Erebus (the darkness of the Underworld). I know you might be dissuaded by the all the mythical creatures mentioned in our Holy texts such as the hydra and the gorgon (medusa) but they can obviously be translated to dinosaurs. See the word dinosaur was coined in the 1800s so the Greeks didn't have the exact word to describe all the giant reptiles.
So why don't you atheists accept creationism!?

So your evidence for believing in ancient Greek mythology is that they supposedly correctly describe dinosaurs. There are three problems with that: 1. These descriptions are nothing like real dinosaurs. They tend to be pretty insane creatures that are nothing like any dinosaurs known about. I can read a bit of ancient greek, and my experience is backed up in the source at the bottom. 2. They couldn't possibly have seen dinosaurs-humans, especially ancient greek civilization, was long after the time of dinosaurs. 3. Even if they did accurately describe dinosaurs, you still haven't explained why this proves anything.

wow... I hope you're not seriously asking this question...
I'm just going to answer with another question
why do people who believe in creationism try to persuade non believers into believing something just because they think it is the "truth"?

Just stubborn, I guess. Who needs evidence and logic?
