Dinosaurs Never Existed - My Idea

I think all these dinosaur skeletons put up in museums were created and designed (rearranged) by the so-called archaeologists to earn fame and frighten little kids. I think dinosaurs never existed, they are just imaginations of mad men running wild.

The nice thing about the scientific method is that anyone can come up with testable ideas... but it's easy to refute certain ones. In this case, I've seen fossils in a "natural" (non-museum) environment myself, and I'm pretty sure no one physically put them there. Therefore, hypothesis refuted. Oh, and scientists that study fossil forms (including dinosaurs) would be paleontologists, not archaeologists. Archaeologists study ancient (and some modern) human civilizations.

Theres no way they could keep it a secret if they did that. The bones and fossils go around everywhere and thousands of people study their age and state and you just cant fake it.Your theory is highly irresponsible and un-thought out.

I have never seen any fossils or actual dinosour bones but I disagree with this theory mainly because I think something about this would have already been discovered before, and I doubt anyone would really like to study a fake career in the case that paleontology was fake.

Yeah. And if people study them, they would find it out and spread the word.

they wouldn't just fake all of this, paleontologists wouldn't make a dime if they studied this for their whole life.But in your perspective, it could be the goverment planning fake bones and all of these non sense paying paleontologists to shut their mouths and keep it top secret. You'll never know

There would be one who would leak it out... theres no way there would EVER be a way to keep it a secret tho

If dinosaurs never existed... then theres a lot of sad little kiddies out there, and a few wasted hollywood blockbusters, and a LOT, i repeat, a LOT of paeleontologists who obviously are frauds and should be locked up...Basically your idea is impossible.

I don't believe in space! and the moon is obviously a piece of cheese that got caught in the sky thousands of years ago! It's only a matter of time when the cheese starts to go moudly and fall out of the sky!

Exactly! There are also some people in the forum who wants to nuke the sun. Nuke the sun? now that's more incredible than saying dinosaurs never existed.

I agree. They have created documentaries that show models of what the Dinosaurs would have looked like from the information collected from the bones. And has anyone actually help a Dinosaur bone? I don't see how they can just make up bones from other bones, because the material is obviously bone.

That sounds more like a joke to me. Who would want to nuke the sun?

Thats not entirely true. He was wondering what would happen if someone did.And its really not incredible, just a stupid waste of a nuke.

What would be the reasoning behind faking dinosaurs? Its not like there being no dinosaurs would seriously affect mankind in any way (except for the non-existance of paleontology). That would be a waste of money and time for little to no gain.

some loser scientist with really bad eyesight saw a lizard upclose (or was it a croc or gator?) well, that's how the dinosaur legends all started. That is according to my grandma. Trust me, she's hardly ever wrong.

So, you're telling me that scientists all over the world took this one man's word for it that he saw a dinosaur. First of all, it is common knowledge that dinosaurs are extinct (so him seeing one would not make sense, as scientists would not be digging for fossils if they were alive). Second, dinosaurs (in fact or fiction) did not exist until fossils were discovered of them, so there are no "legends". People didn't just make this stuff up.

Yes different people have got different opinions about dinosaurs and some say they never existed..its their idea.But I think Dinosaurs existed millions of years ago,though I haven't seen them but I believe in them.They vanished when a huge meteorite struck the earths surface,due to which there was a huge destruction.But I think whatever happened was good as if dinosaurs haven't died then we couldn't have been on this planet earth ..though I feel sorry for them too.
