Taking a closer look at Whitcomb’s Searching for Ropens and Finding God Few LDS nonfiction writers are so controversial in knocking down standard models of Western science. The forensic videographer Jonathan Whitcomb, now living in the Clover Crest Ward in Murray, Utah, has written four books, in nine total editions, on pterosaurs, what people call “flying dinosaurs” or “pterodactyls.” But the word extinction is uncommon in his writings, except when he is contradicting common assumptions about these featherless flying animals. He interviews eyewitnesses of apparent living pterosaurs. Quoting from Searching for Ropens and Finding God: “On another occasion, Mark and I had a religious conversation in which I mentioned the purpose of my expedition. I told him of the problems we have in America because some disbelieve in God, and I mentioned how finding ropens could help. Many Americans believe that they all died long ago, but if they knew ropens were still alive, they might remember God and believe in Him. I felt it unnecessary to go into details about evolution, keeping it simple. . . .”  “Not all conversations about ropens are spiritual . . . John Kau and his representative, William Narol, spoke with me about my search, wondering if I planned on climbing Bel, for they claimed ownership of the mountain and were asking 3000 kina to guide me there. “They warned me not to go without them: They have ‘man traps’ on the mountain. I learned that these traps were not for foreigners but for local thieves who had previously taken a large battery from the radio tower. I told them I had no intention of climbing Mount Bel. I may have neglected to mention that I had nothing remotely like 3000 kina; that neglect may have contributed to a problem that came up the following week. . . .” [from page 59, fourth edition of sfrfg] “Luke, Mark, and I met with several local men after sunrise and prayed for protection and success. With a small pack on my back, I led the party of six down the wide dirt road that connected villages in west-central Umboi Island. As long as we were on a wide road, the natives felt fine about me leading the way. . . .” [from page 61]
