Our population's preoccupation with these loathsome lizards is as lousy as it's ever been. :(

I have a feeling that God will turn out to be just some guy named Larry in appliance sales. Then we'll all feel foolish and laugh.

Our youngest (4 yo) granddaughter loves dinosaurs. We got her a dinosaur track with battery powered dinosaur cars that has hills and bridges. She's hardly played with anything else since getting it.

I find it laughable that we’ve had so many scientific discoveries and advancements over the last 350 years, yet so many still deny science and cling to ancient fiction and superstition.
And I find it laughable that many point to some (unproven) scientific theories and point to them as fact. And they have to have much more faith in these unproven things, than faith a religious believer may have.

I think science and religion often actually support one another. Is there some exaggeration in some religious beliefs/stories? Probably so.
But something cannot be created from nothing.
And even if there are aliens, that does not disprove religion. As it would not shock me to find out God tried more than once far away (either before or after Earth).

Science requires no faith. It’s not a replacement of religion. In fact, it totally ignores religion. Science is a study and the scientific method is a tool. Facts drive science. We uncover new facts. It’s not that complicated

NOVA did a fantastic two-parter a while back detailing the meteor collision, the effect on dinosaurs and the planet, and how life found a way to grow and evolve once again. Damn shame something like that is relegated to public access television while Discovery and History Channel play Dirty Jobs and American Pickers reruns on a loop.

There's a Sopranos episode where Tony gets a visit in the hospital from a minister and they talk about dinosaurs. Christopher says something like "man and dinosaurs together? Like the Flintstones? T Rex in the garden of Eden? That doesn't sound like paradise. "

I saw this documentary about it in a theater when I was a kid...

I understand science. I work in the science industry. Science also, when it comes to the cosmos depends very much on theory, unproven hypotheses, where you are considered a success if you can show something is plausible, not that it did happen, but that it could have happened the way to theorize.

It takes a tremendous amount of Faith to believe intelligent humans came from subatomic particles and random gases that did not exist rapidly bumping into one another.

Im not sure what gasses you’re talking about, but even if evolution was proven to be 100% a sham conspiracy (and good luck with that), it does nothing to legitimize any particular religion.

Human beings are storytellers. Everyone has a story they tell themselves to keep from confronting the fact that we are just existing one moment at a time and all each of us truly know about anything is the moments that are already over.

I am the armed wing of Christians against dinosaurs. It’s not too late to give now and see if we can defeat the dinosaurs. Please send case. And guns.

Nice try, Satan, but you won't trick me. Like all well-educated Christians, I'm aware that guns are the product of metalworking -- which, along with other sin like music and giants, led to the Great Flood.

So I'll just stick to stone axes, like my dinosaur-slaying ancestors used 2,000 years ago.
