Dinosaurs bad influence on children and never existed

Ok, I've tried that. I'm getting flashbacks to my single days in nightclubs when I found myself chatting up women; they were all waving and excited. I couldn't hear a word they were saying and yet I knew they would drive me mental. Promised myself I would never speak to them again. Sure enough, the next day, I never did.

She said the dinosaur theory cane before fossils....

People have been finding fossils for a long time and many myths surrounded them.

The first discovered femur of a Megalosaurus was believed to belong to a giant roman elephant and then a giant.

Her arguement is so flakey it's unreal.

Going by some of the posts here, there's quite a few sexual dinosaurs here, if she's ever looking for proof of those.

A woman has taken to the internet in a bid to get god banned from the curriculum because he is a “bad influence” on children and scientific proof of his existence is “pretty flimsy”.

Fixed it.

Well in fairness there are no cave paintings of dinosaurs so maybe she has a point.

How can you say the bible is a piece of fiction ? what is the definition of fiction in your context, because a lot biblical characters and events are actually historically accurate. You can't write off in one simple statement.

Well its true...

I mean the family values of most dinosaurs are sorely lacking.

The only thing she has convinced me of is that all moronic Youtube videos film portrait instead of landscape.

They had the idea of a god before they wrote the first holy book.

And palaeontologists in it for the money? She's obviously hasn't heard of the Vatican Bank.

What pisses me off is when you see these Discovery Channel programmes and they blatantly and unashamedly try pass off what are obviously fake dinosaurs, as real dinosaurs.

Discovery Channel - you may be fooling some people. But not me.

How did you miss the two brontosaurus eggs she had hidden in her blouse?

I have come across this nonsense before unfortunately, with a religion teacher who was teaching students that dinosaurs are a hoax. He was a Born Again Christian.

She seems like a real loon. Even if they're "not real" why are they evil? And lol at the lack of family values comment, you couldn't make it up!

yipeeeee

How many dinosaurs have they actually found?

You would think there would be millions of bones remains seems they existed for 100s of millions of years.

ArtyM

Apparently some areas of the Middle East agree,
for example..they dont sell Flintstones DVDs in Dubai





but,thankfully, .. Abu Dhabi Do







Sorry!

My 4yr old started Junior Infants in the local national school last September. Not a week goes by that she doesn't come home with some mumbo-jumbo like "Adam and Eve were the first people ever" to "Holy God made all the animals". Creationist ideas are alive and well in Ireland's national schools.

There are "millions" of dino bones already found. In some areas they're actually common. Whole skeletons of individuals are much rarer. Very broadly speaking there are two types of fossil remains, life assemblages and death assemblages. The former is where an animal falls down dead and is rapidly covered by soil/water/bog/volcanic ash and buried, so apart from the first scavengers to get there their bones remain altogether in pretty much the way they were in life. In the latter death assemblage animals die and are scavenged and broken up, maybe later their hard inedible parts like teeth and the like get washed into rivers and collect at the bend of same so what you find then are bits and pieces of the animals in layers, bone beds as it were.

The latter type of fossil is much more common for obvious reasons. Most animals are scavenged after death(even if they fall head first into water, the fishes will have their fill), far fewer are preserved in an instant. Ash from volcanic eruptions is a good one as it rapidly buries the animals and preserves the tissues, even sometimes the soft tissues from initial decay. QV Pompeii for a human example.

That's only the animals that get to be fossilised in the first place. The vast vast majority never did/will. They have to die in an area with the right type of deposits for a start, animals around or in water have a much better chance than those living at higher altitudes(hence we've far more records of sea creatures than land). Even when fossilised that's not the end of the story. If vulcanism kicks off in the strata the fossils are usually destroyed or bent out of shape to the point of being unrecognisable.

In the end chances are very high we have only a fraction of the animals that have lived preserved in rocks and we have many many gaps yet even so fossils are very common. Imagine a world where fossils never happened, we'd not have a clue about our distant past.

Palaeontology isn't the only field that proves evolution; genetics, physiology, species distribution and developmental studies all point to it.

Has to be satirical!

I'd like to think that even religious people themselves couldn't possibly miss the irony in them demanding something be banned due to 'flimsy' scientific proof.

In the case of dinosaurs it is proven, however even if it were flimsy scientific proof, that still beats no scientific proof.

Crocodiles are lazy f*cks. Been around a lot longer than us and are still sitting by the shore chilling out.

You have noticed that she gives no sources and uses the all encompassing 'they' as a logical certitude :rolleyes:

As for those poor brothers out there who think she is akin to eye candy - I have just two words - bunny boiler.

Wibbs

If she was halfway good looking then fine. For a night in a hotel in a strange part of town. With three condoms. Leaving a false name behind you. Faking a foreign accent and origin for bonus points. But she's extremely average*, so the crazy would hardly be worth it when there are plenty of women, better looking women that aren't nearly so swivel eyed mad, Like millions of them. All that yo yo needs is a string to fulfil the description. And she's reproduced so is passing on the nuttiness to another generation.





*unless you're one of those seemingly all too common guys who are completely fixated on a pair of double E's to the exclusion of vision and logic, even if they're attached to Russell Crowe, in which case play on, but maybe seek out both an optician and a life coach.

I genuinely always just thought there should be more found.

It interests me, not disputing they existed.

Enough for pretty much every half decent museum worldwide to have one.

They're finding entirely new species at a rate of just under 1 per week at the moment.

She really seems to have it in for palaeontologists. I get the impression that she was dumped by a palaeontologist at some point and she's trying to get back at all of them in revenge.
