lol @ whoa whoa whoa
just because i know the devil couldn't have created them because the devil doesn't exist doesn't mean i know who did create them.
i know who created the pocket fisherman. ask me that.

No, it is now your responsibility to tell me who created the dinosaurs.  I mean, it's the least you can do after destroying the only theory I held on to so dearly.

Oh, and I wanna know who created the pocket fisherman.  Or are you just going to ruin my dream of knowing that one too???

Can you imagine though, the devil walking around the earth with his sinister laugh at all the blood flowing in the rivers of the poor dinosaurs who were destroyed by the evil monstrocities he created.  Makes one chuckle a bit. He'd look something like this..

Scientific conjecture, theories and facts vs religious fairy tales. I'll take the former.

Ron Popeil invented the pocket fisherman, but ok i just don't know about the dinosaurs. maybe jim henson?

I just finished reading the article  from the OP ..........    I was  telling my husband  one night about this sort thing.. as we spoke of the weirdest and most dumbest things you could ever read on the internet... I mentioned  how I once read  a few years  ago, religious people saying - That The Devil Planted dinosaur bones to trick us and fool us all into thinking the earth was  older.... My husband did not  believe me, he said there  is no way people could be that dumb?  

I tried to show him but lost the link ...Just when I thought the dumbness could not appear again to show that I was right and   I had read it all before.. It is back...!!  I could almost hear the  theme from the  movie  Psycho   going .. reek reeek reeek reeek when I read the OP article  lol

And now it is God who planted them to test believers ..This does not in any way make  sense.. There is no point to it...So I beleive that  they are  seriously just  joking around  to poke fun...No one can be that dense...I refuse to beleive that anyone with any intelligence would  believe such dribble !..

.And  we know that  the age of the earth is not just calculated by dinosaur fossils, but  calculated by geology too..  Study of the earth's crust ...I am surprised they have not called this trickery or a test too ....

If  what they were serious about what they have wrote, then it saddens me to think that we as a species  have evolved so much , especially in the last 100 years, that there are so many people who will beleive in this clap trap ...It feels like  we are taking a step backwards into the dark ages........What's next? .... Will we start burning witches again?

I can see no logical sense in God  creating the earth  6000 years ago but making it look like it was made  billions of years ago..      Leaving the earth, to go further a field and enter the universe ...Scientist have calculated  the speed and distance  of far away galaxies, and have determined  that the universe  is approx 14 billion years old........AGAIN  IF  God made of this 6000  years ago, where is the sense in making the universe  look so much older?  What is the purpose?   There is no real reasoning. with this..  and  hardly the work of  intelligence  to be honest

My conclusion is.. this article and what it says  cannot possibly be serious...it has to be a joke of some sort... I thought theory's  were many to at least be interesting..  But this just takes the biscuit  !

Is it possible that we are wrong about the age of the earth? And the age of dinosaur fossils (radiometric dating)? Didn't they find soft tissue in bones from a T-rex a few years back? How could there be soft tissue in a fossil millions of years old?

The Earth is 4.45 ± 0.05 billion years.
As for preserved soft tissue found in a t-rex fossil, you should read this article. It give a good description of the find.

From the article:

Quote

"There's nothing unique about the specimen other than the fact that it's the first that's been examined really well," Horner concluded. Other dinosaurs, in other words, are probably similarly preserved.

It'd require most of physics, geology, and chemistry to be wrong, so it's pretty doubtful.

There have been dinosaur mummies (where mummified remains of the creatures were then fossilized) but what I think you're talking about is where the proteins inside a bone were mineralized. They were able to demineralize and restore the proteins. They think what happened was that as the bones were preserved it acted like a tupperware container, preserving the interior until it to mineralized.

the op scenario would make an awesome Tarantino ft. Roger Corman movie.

All I can say is, really?  Where do some people get their ideas from, and how on earth do they find someone else who's enough of a sucker to go along with it and help with a book?

There is one born every minute.  


Damn my conscious, I could be taking baths in hundred-dolla-bills and lighting my cigars with them like Deepak if I didn't have that wretched thing!

I don't even need to read the provided article in order to know that it is filled with pseudo-scientific, base-less clap-trap.

[The Silver Thong]

Maybe the top dinos of the day farmed and bbq in there backyards like we do yummmmm

I have to wonder how many dino`s commited genocide on there own kind.

Well, it's an entertaining theory that could make for a good story line.

I agree entertainment only.

What about the peacful herbavours. We're they evil monstrocities aswell?
