Did dinosaurs live amoungst men?
No, that's impossible. They died out too long before we even emerged.
The recordings of dinosaur like creatures have been recorded for thousands of years. Many cultures have used images of dinosaurs and dragons.
Yup, that's because they found the fossils too. For example, we've figured out that the story of the cyclops most likely stems from discovering mammoth bones. If you look at the skull of a mammoth:
You can see how someone would think that is the skull of a giant one-eyed humanoid.
That ancient people concocted these stories does not offer any plausibility to the actual existance of the creatures in their stories. What actually happened, is that they had a little bit of evidence, and then filled in all the blanks with imagination.

Fun fact
The time between when the Stegosaurus lived and when the Tyrannosaurus lived is greater than the time between when the Tyrannosaurus lived and now.

Re: Still no dragon bones
So I trace your posts back and I see it stems from the question of 'where are the dragon bones?"
Don't you think the ancient Chinese found dinosaur fossils too, and that's where the dragon legends come from?
Like I was talking about with the cyclops in Message 10?

Re: Still no dragon bones
If dragons and dinosaurs are synonyms, then dinosaur and dragon bones is the same phenomenon.
But dinosaur bones are fossilized. If dragons were contemporary to humans then we would have bones that have not been fossilized... but we don't.

Re: Still no dragon bones
That does not tell much to the feline, Vatican. Fossilised simians are found too.
Come on, CrazyJew, try just a little bit: Its not the presence of fossils, is the lack of bones.
We have no dinosaur or dragon bones that aren't fossilized. If they were contemporary with us then we'd find bones. But we don't, so they're not.
The jury is out on this one.
No, CrazyJew, the jury went home died of old age decades ago.
Pliny the Elder claimed to be dinosaurs contemporary.
Well fuck me sideways, it must be true!
It might well be that it was the simians who wiped the dragons out and not any meteor, Vatican.
Or maybe you're just dreaming, CrazyJew.

In other words, you are flat-out wrong.

Face it, Inadequate, the Cheshire cuts your bigbangist bollocks in your native English. And he suspects you can't even mumble in his native Purrish.
How old are you? Like, really old?

Re: The cat...
Well, Vatican. There are nonsensical beliefs galore and there are oceans of pretence to certainty about those beliefs. The firm believers whose name is multitude are easily offended by any doubt expressed. That's why there are so many of so-called trolls. He who has no faith in nonsense never fears any trolls, says the feline. Now be a good boy, Vatican, go to the science section and pontificate a little on how certain you are at what rate the universe expands and what species in it randomly mutate into what exactly and so on.
None of that didn't make no sense.

quackademic nonsense,
That has cured disease and put man on the moon and has allowed us to communicate in this way, yeah that nonsense. Face the facts: it works.

Re: Laughing back at the Coy Boy.
Are you retarded? That didn't have anything to do with what I wrote. Your incoherent babbling is purely nonsensical, CrazyJew. No matter how much you obfuscate it, you haven't dealt with the fact that science works.

Re: Laughing back at the Coy Boy.
Science works, whatever works is science is a tautology, silly Vatican.
That's right, CrazyJew, and it has cured disease and put man on the moon and has allowed us to communicate in this way.
It totally kicks ass and it gets shit done. You should be thankful that we have been able to utilize it.
But in your arrogant ignorance, instead you denigrate it. This wonderful gift we've received that has done so much good for this world, you deny it because you'd rather believe in dragons.
Pathetic.

Re: Laughing back at the Coy Boy.
That won't wash here with the feline.
Well duh. You're too interested in obfuscation to come to terms with the fact that science works wonders.
The cat neither believes nor disbelieves in dragons.
Well that's stupid; dragons are obviously mythological creatures.
The issue discussed here is whether the dragons and dinosaurs are the same phenomenon and the issue is how, when and if they all became extinct and it is clearly far from being any settled science.
The dinosaurs that could have passed for dragons went extinct over 60 million years ago.
It plausible that some of the dragon legends came from ancient men finding the fossilized remains of dinosaurs, assuming they were contemporary, and then filling in the gaps with imagination.
