Dinosaurs Weren't in the Bible...They Never Even Existed.

[Zen Badger]

Again, making a distinction between fossils and mere rocks without direct observation of the fossilization process is assuming the proof. Do you have any proof that is not logically fallacious?

See?

Just a bunch of odd shaped rocks.

[The Grand Nudger]

More odd shaped rocks. Hmn, that is strange, strange indeed. You could almost imagine that the one on the left is a skeleton, especially when they set it next to a human skeleton. Wonders never cease.


Wait a fucking minute, why do these rocks have hip bones? That's an even stranger coincidence.

[Cinjin]

What kind of douche-baggery has he got going now!?!?!

Scannella and Horner examined 29 triceratops skulls and nine torosaurus skulls, mostly from the late-Cretaceous Hell Creek formation in Montana. The triceratops skulls were between 0.5 and 2 metres long. By counting growth lines in the bones, not unlike tree rings, they have shown clearly that the skulls come from animals of different ages, from juveniles to young adults. Torosaurus fossils are much rarer, 2 to 3 metres long and, crucially, only adult specimens have ever been found.

29 rocks all shaped like skulls?

Seriously? Rocks?

Please tell me you're not that stupid. Seriously, if you'll believe that skulls are rocks than you'll believe the world is flat and held up by pillars.

jesusfuckingchrist.

[The Grand Nudger]

I thought he did believe that. He's a big fan of the literal interpretation isn't he?

I find it hard to believe that even you are that stupid, Waldork but when it comes to lowering the bar you do tend to set new records.

Oh please, I clearly stated before that this was merely an exercise pointing out that if you atheists were consistent in your skepticism you would not believe in dinosaurs because there is no way to prove they ever existed. So maybe it is you who are actually lacking the mental ability to keep up with the discussion?

I found something for you Stat. It's called Grade 4 Science. It should help.

Maybe try this too, especially the section on permineralization.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil

Was this process ever observed to actually take place with these supposed dinosaur “fossils”?

I hope this helps you to look less like an imbecile around any of the people you claim to work with. (Keeping your mouth shut when you're about to say something idiotic also helps)

Are you really so dense that you missed the point of this discussion? See above, Min missed the whole point as well.

I've heard some shit in my time, but this is by far some of the most ridiculous shit I have ever heard. Talk about dense! Holy shit!

I think he took a few too many nips of the ol' bottle last night.

His dad should keep his liquor cabinet locked then.

If you want to play that game - where's your direct observation that anything in the Bible happened? Or anything god does?

We are not talking about the Bible, we are talking about Dinosaurs. If you are going to not believe in the Bible because of lack of direct observation then where is your direct observation of dinosaurs since you do believe in them? Fair is fair.

Skepticism asks for evidence that can be quantified. I'm still not seeing how we're not consistent on that point.

No usually skeptics ask for “proof” of God’s existence, which means they want a sound logical syllogism for the existence of God, I have seen no such syllogism for the existence of dinosaurs; it’s special pleading.

Oh, so you don't actually subscribe to any of this bullshit? You were trying to make "a point"? Perhaps you should be worried that we'd so readily believe that you were sincere? Or maybe you should stop arguing for bullshit. Entirely. Disingenuous little prick. Is every conversation with you a complete waste of my fucking time?

Maybe you are a Poe.

I made it very clear that this was an exercise; I was going to play the part of the skeptic and play the same games you guys play concerning the existence of God. I find it a bit amusing you thought I was stupid when I was acting like you always do. There still is no sound logical proof for the existence of dinosaurs, so why do you still believe in them?

Actually we have found preserved proteins of T-rex not just bones alone.

Actually many secular scientists do not believe those are actual proteins because proteins cannot survive for millions of years. You are starting to sound like a young earth creationist now.

Horseshit, Waldork. You got caught being an asshole and you're trying to weasel your way out of it.

Reading comprehension is clearly not your strong point gramps.

“You and your assertions get so old, so let's play the game shall we? Can you prove dinosaurs existed?” - SW

So you didn’t know this was a game to prove a point even though I clearly stated it was? That’s funny. You still haven’t given me any “proof” that dinosaurs ever existed though, I want a sound logical syllogism since that what you guys always demand for the existence of God.

YECtards give sensible believers a really bad name.

I think a better argument could be made that Roman Catholics actually do.

[cuddles Chad]

So I figured out!

I really think he enjoys the punishment here.

What punishment? You guys totally got whipped on that one. You pointed to some rocks and asserted, “See these prove that dragon-like creatures ruled the earth millions of years ago! You see this 4th grade textbook agrees with me!” Where is the direct observation? Where are the logical syllogisms? You guys failed to live up to your own stink test and it was hilarious.

See?

So somebody took a bunch of rocks made plaster molds of them and made a dragon like creature out of them? How on earth does that prove the dragon-like creature existed in the first place?

More odd shaped rocks. Hmn, that is strange, strange indeed. You could almost imagine that the one on the left is a skeleton, especially when they set it next to a human skeleton. Wonders never cease.

So your argument is exactly the same as the argument from design. You are arguing from the existence of improbability and coincidence. I thought you didn’t except the argument from design as a valid argument? So why is it all of the sudden legitimate when you use it?

29 rocks all shaped like skulls?

Apparently yes.

Seriously? Rocks?

What else do you think they are made of? They are made up of minerals.

Please tell me you're not that stupid. Seriously, if you'll believe that skulls are rocks than you'll believe the world is flat and held up by pillars.

I am pretending to be a dinosaur skeptic by arguing like an atheist, if you think it is stupid then that’s pretty funny because you use the same form of argumentation against the existence of God.

[Erinome]

I want to see a God fossil. Now, goddammit.

[5thHorseman]

'I am pretending to be a dinosaur skeptic by arguing like an atheist, if you think it is stupid then that’s pretty funny because you use the same form of argumentation against the existence of God.'

Difference being that there is proof of dinosaurs, so it doesn't really work.
