Websurdity Link: Dinosaurs: Science Or Science Fiction?

Many children grow up learning about dinosaurs in kindergarten and throughout grade school. According to accepted wisdom, dinosaurs were giant reptiles that lived hundreds of millions of years ago and were wiped out in some currently-unknown cataclysmic event. Evidence for the existence of these behemoths has consisted of thousands of skeletons, footprints, eggs, and other fossils that have been found over the past 150 years. To the untrained eye, that evidence seems pretty solid. But the fact is, aside from those scant thousands of pieces of evidence, there is very little scientific basis for belief in dinosaurs. Because of the power of the vibrant and greedy dinosaur industry and its Satanic, pro-evolution supporters, however, the theory of dinosaurs has never been taken to task for its many obvious flaws and contradictions. That is, until now.

In a hard-hitting analysis of the motives behind the dinosaur conspiracy, David Wozney has asked several painful questions about the existence of dinosaurs, and has shown that they simply could not have existed.

Wozney first takes on the alleged timeline of dinosaur discovery, pointing out the suspicious incongruity of a sequence that begins with a professor describing dinosaurs in a speech in 1842, even though the first dinosaurs weren’t discovered in North America until 1854! Isn’t it odd that the “discovery” of bones matched perfectly with a description given before the bones were even discovered? Skeptics might point out that the first dinosaur bones were discovered in England in 1677, or that a French anatomist figured out in 1818 that the large bones belonged to giant lizards, or that the first dinosaur genus was created in 1826. A skeptic may try to argue that those “facts” provide a satisfactory explanation for Wozney’s suspicion. But do those facts really explain it all away? We conducted our own objective analysis on this question, and found out that, yes, they do.

Thankfully, Wozney has more damning evidence about the dinosaur hoax. Taking aim at the dinosaur industry and the people who are allegedly discovering all of these so-called “dinosaur bones,” Wozney points out that, “Discoveries and excavations seem not to be made by disinterested people… but rather by people with vested interests, such as paleontologists, scientists, university professors, museum organization personnel, who were intentionally looking for dinosaur bones or who have studied dinosaurs previously.” His point is hard to dismiss. After all, have you ever tripped over a dinosaur bone while walking on the sidewalk? Come across a pterodactyl egg while at the beach? Probably not. Indeed, one might say that most of these alleged dinosaur bones are discovered by the very people who are searching for them! This certainly seems like an unlikely coincidence. Moreover, even when people who aren’t experts discover “dinosaur bones”, they usually “…need to be told by dinosaur experts that they are dinosaur bones.” How odd! Clearly, there is something else going on here. But what?

The answer is simple: the almighty dollar, and Satan. As Wozney says, “’Dinosaur’ bones sell for a lot of money at auctions. It is a profitable business. There is pressure on academics to publish papers. There is pressure on museums to produce displays. There is pressure on movie producers and the media to make money.” The subtle anti-religious evolution advocates, likely backed by Satan, are also playing a part: ”…motivations for the possible invention of the dinosaur include trying to prove evolution, trying to disprove or cast doubt on the Bible and the existence of God, trying to disprove the young-earth theory, and trying to disprove creationism. Of course, the devil’s ultimate goal is to cast doubt on the deity of Jesus Christ and prevent people’s eternal salvation.”

So there you have it. If we all look critically at these so-called giant lizards – and we should – dinosaurs will soon be relegated to the same level as the Loch Ness Monster, or the Apollo Moon Landings (a hoax Wozney also uncovers). As Wozney succinctly puts it, “I am unaware of any evidence or reason for absolutely believing dinosaurs ever existed. The possibility exists they may be a fabrication of nineteenth and twentieth century people possibly pursuing an evolutionary and anti-Bible and anti-Christian agenda.” As responsible adults, it is our duty to ensure our children are presented with the most factual, scientific evidence available. Should we really tell our children to believe in an idea that has so little evidence? That sure would be silly. Only the devil himself would support that.
