Dinosaurs were invented by the EU

Finely balanced piece. I can't decide whether it's 'serious' or satirical.

Serious Nutter i think. He has more than 15000 people in his closed Facebook group and a very thorough website.

Their problem appears to be that as there were no dinosaurs in The Garden of Eden it must all be made up.

Thick as a very thick plank though. There are cleverer Christian zealots than that.

Irony, shirley:

4. Scientists 'claim' dinosaur bones were made out of fossils (rocks). If dinosaur's bones were made out of rocks, they'd be TOO HEAVY to stand! If YOU had bones made out of rocks, you'd be DEAD!

Could be irony FMR. But it could just be staggering naivety. Have you ever tried to converse with a member of a Christian fundamentalist cult?

'Belief' is a very poor substitute for learning or knowledge, as I sometimes had occasion to tell Muslims of my acquaintance. They just stared at me as if they thought I was mad. Christian cult members tended to argue but in a silly annoying way.

Very annoying in fact, since there are Muslim and Christian believers who embrace rational discourse and are good at it.

I've got a brass bowl full of petrified snail things, bits of seaweed or coral and other things unidentifiable but clearly organic.

Picked them up in the Sahara, camping in a place where there were masses of them lying on the ground.

Never found a dinosaur though, even a small one. I think there are some of those in Sussex.

There's a relic to be found in West Sussex - drives a Chrysler PT Cruiser, I hear.

Oh I dunno: relic [ ˈrelik ] NOUN an object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental interest.

synonyms: artifact · historical object · ancient object · antiquity · antique.

It's an interesting idea that things can't exist before a word for them has been invented.

So Adam and Eve must have known about the Bible otherwise they couldn't have appeared in it?

It seems likely that the barely literate Rev Todd is a fiction. Possibly more of a hoax than a satire or parody. Perhaps the perpetrators just wanted to see how many supporters they could suck in.

Very scary view of a tiny minority of Christians. Much like the tiny minority Muslims who shoot tourists. At least the anti-dinosaur crowd are harmless.

Physically, maybe. Mentally? Not so much.

It's all harmful poison in one way or another.

Perhaps the animal liberation front should take up the dinosaurs' cause?

Animals still a right to have their existence acknowledged and respected even after death.

Religion in general, or the specific incidences mentioned here?
