CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Dinosaurs never went extinct!

You can believe whatever you want, just dont call it science. There is 0 evidence that humans live together with dinos

The current body of evidence is quite clear that humans and non-avian dinosaurs are separated by about 60 million years, unless of course you are referring to birds when you say that humans live alongside dinosaurs.

Agreed.
Paleontologists, not archaeologists, study the remains of long-extinct animals.
You've been lied to.

Specifically, a certain femur originally thought to belong to that skeleton was found 12m away, and is now thought to be from an anatomically modern human. That hardly makes it a 'scam'. Inaccuracies in scientific knowledge are always discovered and corrected by scientists.
We have the choice of believing pretty much every paleontological expert alive today, despite some of them having been wrong at certain points in the past, or believing you, who have shown yourself to be ignorant of the subject matter and wrong since square one.
Tough choice.
Many of the skeletons were found quite complete and in position. We have as much reason to believe those skeletons are 'correct' as we have to believe human skeletons really resemble human skeletons.
In short, you're asking us to embrace a hellishly unlilkely hypothesis, one falsified by all the available data, on the outside chance that all the available data are wrong. Sorry, that doesn't wash.
New species also emerge, and this has been observed both in the lab and in the field. By now most creationists have resorted to moving their definition of a 'kind' higher up the taxonomic ladder (or, more often, to obscuring their definition of a 'kind' entirely).
1) Because osteoporosis and osteoarthritis leave obvious signs on the bones themselves.
2) Because such degenerative diseases are unlikely to improve the bone weight bearing capability to the extent required to support the weight of a 91 foot dinosaur.
Actually it does, because nothing fitting the anatomical classification of a lizard can also match the classification of dinosaur. This has been pointed out to you. Please stop ignoring it. It has also been pointed out to you that birds are a closer match to dinosaur skeletal anatomy.
1) If you were to find a dinosaur in the depths of the unexplored jungle, what you would have there would still be a dinosaur, not an overgrown lizard.
2) Credit not given for evidence not provided.
I'm sorry, but lizards just don't have the anatomy to become dinosaurs, any more than cats have the anatomy to become cattle. You can't just wish this fact away because of your emotional attachment to your particular pet idea.

Ah, so now we see what this is really about. This isn't really about lizards and dinosaurs at all, is it?
Listen, you can believe whatever you want about God or Apollo or Vishnu or the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. These are religious concepts beyond the possibility of verification...
...But dinosaurs were not simply overgrown lizards. This is something well within the realm of the verifiable, and has been shown conclusively to be false.

God makes the dino bones age faster to fool us!! He cant fit the whole world up in heavan so he tests our faith with many differnt things. That is obviously why god created other religions too. In fact, god even created the other gods!!!

Brimac, you really, really should go read some books, from the science section of your local library. Given what you've come up with here, you've made it obvious that you know very little about science, paleontology, anatomy, archaeology, astronomy, or physics. There's nothing wrong with being unread in these subjects, unless you want to argue about them. Example: I know very little about physics. I don't argue about physics. I do read reputable, educated people's explanations of concepts in physics, which at least helps me identify an absolute lunatic's presentation of physics concepts when I see one.
