Is This a Standard Creationist Belief?

Direct quote from a Creationism website:

"There’s actually overwhelming evidence that dinosaurs have always lived with humans. We simply called them dragons. Man killed most of them, and there may be a few still alive today. The editors of Scientific American need to watch our video number three (Dinosaurs and the Bible) for more about this topic."

My question: how many Creationists hold this belief, and how many Creationists would disclaim any connection to this belief?

And how many Creationists think that this guy is actually hurting their cause?

Update:

Wonderwal (below):

A velociraptor would be more than a hindrance to a farming community. And a brontosaurus would put a farm out of business...

Update 2:

WTFWJD (below):

That couldn't have been Christian Creationism though. I seem to recall they all had a gay old time...

    Do these people not realize that humans would be FOOD to a dinosaur? I can't believe people who graduated from high school write this doo.

    I wouldn't call dragons "overwhelming evidence" that Dinosaurs existed with humans. But it still is evidence and I believe it. I don't think Christians should say stuff like "proof that God exists" or "proof" of anything we believe. Because to evolutionists it doesn't mean a thing. Overwhelming evidence does exist, but it never means "proof."

    And to those of you who say: "Those stupid creationists" or "I can't believe anybody would believe that crap." So you tried to insult a Christian. Whoopdy-doo!

    How does that make you any more correct or smarter than them? Any evolutionist I talk to ends up calling me some name or says how stupid I am.

    That doesn't show the slightest bit of intelligence on there part. I think with an open mind when I talk to an evolutionist, so I usually see what they mean or where there coming from when they make a statement. But from any evidence I've seen, it's clear to me that there has to be an intelligent designer. I believe that Jesus Christ the son of God, came down to earth from Heaven to die for our sins!

    I admit that I am human, and being human automatically makes me a sinner who makes mistakes all the time. If you don't make mistakes than your obviously not human.

    Feel free to call me names and say how wrong and stupid I am.

    Some like Kent Hovind and some don't, but the teaching is pretty standard, and there is more evidence than you might think. Take a look at some of the articles here:

    I think that its POSSIBLE we simply called them dragons. but I had that thought before I ever saw his videos. In general I think he is hurting all of christianity with his whole you don't need to pay taxes thing. he actually got in legal trouble for that. I've seen all his videos and there is way to much conspiracy theory in them. dinosaurs being dragons would explain how so many cultures have tales of dragons. its possible that most of them just died out after the flood. we can't really know.

    Well,there is mention and descriptions of giant lizards called dragons being a nuisance and a menace to farms and communities in nearly every culture up until the last few centuries,why do you think this is?

    Seeing as your pretty well prejudiced and seem to have your mind made up no amount of evidence would ever convince you.

    You are what is generally termed 'a lost cause.'

    Not all christian creationists believe that, but none believe evolution was a method used by God to create / develop all the variety of lifeforms.

    i saw a long video about dinosaurs living with humans. it was incredibly stupid. i can't even believe that anyone would believe such nonsense. we are actually able to date those bones to find out roughly how old they are.

    i'm sure that the young earth creationists believe this.

    Have you ever heard of the flat-earth society?

    They still claim that the earth is flat and that the sun, moon and stars still orbit the Earth.

    Here's their website, you all should leave them a message or two if possible.

    Those creationist fools don't have a shred of actual proof that humans lived during the time of dinosaurs.

    Oh wait, I forgot, their Bible is the misguided turth.

    I think that his sense of humor helps the cause. It brings a lot of attention, even if only ridicule.
