And by the way: the dinosaurs didn’t all die. Noah must have taken some with them. They show up in too many works of ancient and “native” art. And some of them are alive today.

We’ve got a pod of them in Lake Champlain, Vermont, and the Canadians have them in Lake Okanagan, BC. There was a pod of them in Loch Ness, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all dead by now, because that lake is so disgustingly polluted.

We had dragons throughout Western Europe, until the medieval knights hunted them to extinction. The dragons in China lasted a little longer; Marco Polo saw one of them.

I thought that you people didn't recognize man-made pollution?

@Caley Thistle:

Loch Ness is disgustingly polluted? What? Is this some other Loch Ness near a chemical plant in Pittsburgh, or something?

I’m wondering if Terry heard that Loch Ness was murky and thought “murk == pollution”.

I am going out on a limb here.

Like, WAY out.

I don't think Terry Hurlbut has ever heard of Bill Hicks.

Of course, just as you belief in the Bible stories, there's not a lick of credible evidence supporting your assertions, but why should that bother you?

Walnut-brained dinosaurs still walk the earth. But now they're clad in polyester and we call them "Fundies."

...of your peen, and balls, Terry Hurtbutt.

As demonstrated in this scene in "QI":

Greek heroes, to prove how hard they were, would hit themselves in the ol' 'meat and two veg' on a regular basis, and not even blink. Even the Spartans were impressed.

I just visited the original 'article' - to anyone completely ignorant of what the General Theory and Special Theory actually mean it all sounds highly plausible. However, that does not alter the fact that the whole thing is full of fail!

So cute in his wide-eyed innocence, innit he?

1. I'm not sure about the other lakes, but the Loch Ness monster has definitely been disproven. The lake is far too small to host a sustainable breeding population of an animal that large. Therefore, it can't exist.

2. How does putting an AQUATIC animal on the ark work? (Well, technically the ark wouldn't work at all, but that's beside the point...) Seriously, how do you haul a huge aquatic animal like that up there on a boat and keep it alive?

3. If dragons existed, what about all those other creatures - elves, trolls, kelpies, nixies, mermaids, kitsunes, etc.? We have the same "evidence" for them that we do for dragons. (What do you want to bet a fundie out there will try to claim most of these creatures were really demons while maintaining that dragons were flesh-and-blood animals?)

4. Marco Polo was a liar. No, really.

"We had dragons throughout Western Europe, until the medieval knights hunted them to extinction."

I would not have thought it was possible for an adult in a 1st world world country to be this dumb and still be capable of breathing without assistance but it would appear I'm mistaken.

I refer to my three pet reptiles as "my little dinosaurs" so maybe this guy just overheard me and ran with it, it not exactly as if he's discerning about his sources, with him mentioning Noah and all.

Fakes, myths, and hoaxes, that's your evidence in support of your Biblical flood fairy tale?
Yeah, I'll take the scientific version, thank you. At least it has real evidence going for it.

And Unicorns were real - they just missed the boat because they were stubborn.

See I can use fairly tales or pop culture to make a point too. This is fun.

You think Ogo Pogo is a real dinosaur (or pod of dinosaurs)?

You, my friend, are an idiot. Please don't reproduce.

1) You're right, they didn't die; they evolved into birds.

2) Really? Your evidence is folk tales that almost every expert agrees are total bullshit?

3) Marco Polo was a lying liar who lied about a lot of things.

Ancient artwork of things that look like dinosaurs are proof those civilizations saw dinosaurs.

Ancient artwork of gods do not prove those civilization's gods are real.

Welcome to the wonderful world of being stupid as fuck.

@meh

I think I know what you're talking about. There was this speculative nature mockumentary on Animal Planet about 6 years ago where they told the story of a fake group of palaentologists who discovered a dragon fossil and then the rest of the show was how Dragons would work if they had actually existed.

It was a pretty cool show actually, but Animal Planet made a point of saying at the beginning, "This is a work of fiction, if you take it seriously you're a moron." Clearly Terry missed that disclaimer since in the show Marco Polo saw a Chinese dragon and he's using that as evidence lol.

1. Loch Ness isn't a lake, it's, unsurprisingly, a loch (pronounced with a soft "ch", not - never! - "lock" 2. it isn't polluted; it's 750 feet deep and contains more water than all of the lakes in England and Wales combined and has no industries of any note any where near so it would be pretty damn hard to pollute. And of course, if you tried messing around there, Nessie would bite yer bum!

Funny thing about China, the word for "dragon" is interchangeable with "dinosaur".
