Why, then, do so many literature critics say that Beowulf is fiction? It is because they do not believe that dinosaur creatures lived at the same time men lived. Their evolutionary worldview says that dinosaurs lived long ages before men evolved on the earth. Therefore, in their minds, this all must be fiction. But with a Biblical worldview, we can see that dinosaurs entered the ark with Noah—land species at least—and they lived on the earth again after the Flood.
There's really not much I can say about this. It's just... too damn stupid. To steal a friend's reaction, "they are reading Beowulf and saying that in literal existence there were five-foot-tall sentient magical T-Rexes."
Of course, they clearly didn't actually finish reading the damn poem, did they?

It just occured to me that if you're going to use Beowulf in a weak but insidious plan to discredit evolution to your child, why make weak arguments that Grendel was a T-Rex? Why not jump forward to the end of the piece and use the ******** dragon? He is, after all, a giant ******** reptile.
