Freepers discuss new Dinosaur find in India.

[TennesseeWalker]

Apparently, dinosaurs are dividers, not uniters.....and don't fuss at me for posting a Freeper thread. At least I put it in the lounge.

3. "evolutionists believe we come from a rock"

yes, and many of us wish they'd quietly slip back under it.

[BlueJazz]

4. Oh Brother!...

Reading the posts ( Freerepublic) that have to do with Dinosaurs is like talking to a 3rd grader that has read one lousy book on the subject.

The one freeper that keeps insisting that dinosaurs roamed with man is just unbelievable....I don't know what to say...

22. Clearly He Watched Too Many FLINTSTONES Episodes

47. Hmmm...

did they maybe find the fossilized skeleton of Strom Thurmond's older brother? Maybe that's why he thinks so.

[SoCalDem]

5. Come on you guys.. Everybody knows

Jesus had a pet dinosaur...His name was Dody:)

[Jesus Christ]

11. Actually, his name was Dino

Verily, the Flintstones did rippeth me off. But I let it pass, for it is nothing compared to what the televangelists hath stolen from Me. :-(

[MrBenchley]

25. LOL!!

Too funny.

[sexybomber]

38. ROFL

good God (whoops, sorry if I offended you, dude), that's too funny.

:D

[DarkPhenyx]

42. Jesus? I have a question.

Why does Santa keep kicking your ass on South Park? :)

Yeah, it's off topic, but how often do you get to talk to Christ...adn not be in a loony bin?

[salin]

6. ohmygoodness

dinosaurs were probably on the ark - but he, being 600 years old, of course would have been wise enough not to put a full grown dinosaur on the ark (my paraphrase).

salin: I do not know what I would do - if someone said this in ernest to me.

Another tidbit... Did you know that only 55% of scientists believe in evolution? :eyes:

ohhhhh... says one "the evoloonies"... hehe is that a bit of projection?

Wow - that was really quite... er.. interesting to read.

[Best_man23]

21. Hmmm

Dinosaurs roamed with man?

Dinosaurs were on the Ark?

Somehow I don't quite see an image of Noah coaxing two Velociraptor onto a wooden boat.

Hmm...T-rex, et. al, vs early man.....I think if I had to take that bet, my money would be on the dinosaurs.

[salin]

24. but it begs the question

your are in a serious conversation and blam - the other person seriously goes on about dinosaurs and noahs ark. How do you react/respond?

[DarkPhenyx]

43. But remember...you aren't decended from...

...some big dumb fat slow caveman getting eaten by a dinosaur. You are decended from the skinny little quick fucker that made it back to the cave. (all thanks to Galagher for taht one)

[a_random_joel]

41. OMFG!

dinosaurs were probably on the ark - but he, being 600 years old, of course would have been wise enough not to put a full grown dinosaur on the ark (my paraphrase).

I wonder if he was old enough to know that taking baby dinosaurs pisses Mommy off big time?


Guess this part never made it into Genesis...

Saith Japeth, "Look mine brothers, our own father, one-legged Noah doth go to battle the thunder lizards again to procure the young ones for the Ark."

7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

"Just Evaluating Science Under Scrutiny" Jesus-HAHAHAHAHA What a perversion of faith!!! Thanks TW I needed that laugh. It must be tough for Freepers with half a brain to deal with those that dont

[Jesus Christ]

12. They turned My name into an acronym??

Oh my Dad, that's ridiculous! :eyes:

[newyawker99]

33. Congrats fishnfla!! 500 posts

:toast:

[Old and In the Way]

8. Too funny....

I just finished reading all 608 posts...absolutely fascinating.

* It appears that they got a real evolution vs creation flame war going....they have some kind of paper agreement not to flame, but 50% of the postings are accusations that one side or the other is violating it.

* If I didn't know better, I see the hands of a playful DUer or 2 making like miserable for the fundies on that site. As expected, the articulate evolutionists are killing the creations with their logical facts.

*608 posts...maybe 50-60 actually said something.

What a community....

[sasquatch]

9. Why are they still debating this?

Did they all take any science classes in school? They do know there is scientific proof behind theories. Or did the southern or conservitive local schools just tell them the talking snake theory of evolution and leave science at that. I guess they went on to learn how to handle snakes "come on boy' put your hand in that sack and grab ya' a big ol' rattler."

28. They All Took Auto Shop ..... before they DROPPED OUT.

[leftofthedial]

10. this is not funny

I wish it were, but it isn't

when I was younger, during the rise of the neocon movement in the late 60's and early 70's, the political ideals of the neocons were laughed in much the same way as we laugh at the creationists.

It's not a foregone conclusion, but this is what the front-end of a dark ages looks like. Widespread willful ignorance, disregard of the facts, shouting superstitious mumbo jumbo until it is believed, marginalizing the truth at every step.

We have to stop these people, people.

Or am I just being paranoid?

[MisterP]

37. Slightly:

young-earth creationism will have bad effects if it's injected into the curriculae of general schools.
Dark ages are generally caused by social collapse and barbarian invasions.
And if I hear how Rupert Murdoch is using David Ducovny to rot our minds and bring on an era of superstition, I'm going to scream.

[DarkPhenyx]

44. Well...

...the barbarians are already in the White House ya know.

[Jesus Christ]

13. Just for the record, Dad and I DID create dinosaurs.

But we knew a boat that big would never stay afloat for 40 days and 40 nights, so Dad told Noah to leave the big lizards out of the loop. One of them adapted to the water and moved to what is now Scotland. The rest of them returned to Heaven.

[Aidoneus]

14. Dinosaurs were just big lizards and very likely lived with human beings.

...

:wow:

[leftofthedial]

15. freepers are just very small lizards and live with human beings

so they should know, que no?

[Tom Kitten]

16. Oh?

big difference between a Komodo Dragon and a Triceratops..and if Cave Men and Velociraptors co-existed, how did the cave men exactly win out? Theories, please?

[leftofthedial]

17. it's a documented fact

Cavemen killed dinosaurs.

they used Raquel Welch as bait and when the dinosaurs came after her, it fell into a big pit. They threw rocks at it and then had a big dino barbeque.

I saw this on the Discovery Channel or AMC or somewhere.

Really.

[Aidoneus]

18. I was quoting one of the posts from the link

one of the first few replies from the first page of that FR thread.

As for the Cave Man v. Velociraptor Question, didn't you see Jurassic Park? They just needed Sam O'Neill and a big special effects budget.

[MrBenchley]

26. Well now you know

how stupid someone has to be to be a freeper....way-y-y-y-y-y stupid.

[Ediacara]

19. where to start....

Man.... dinosaurs weren't just big lizards, they were archosaurs. They are anatomically very much closer to crocdiles and birds than lizards. Even creationists take comparative anatomy seriously...

And that's just about all I'm going to say after having had my IQ lowered by about 30 reading through that thread...

[MisterP]

39. that explains my evil parakeets;

have you read Synapsida by John C. MacLouglin?

[nemo137]

20. as hard pressed as i am to agree with anything they say

i wouldn't doubt this: "There are also Christian missionaries who have reported seeing teradactyls (sp?) in remote New Zealand jungles."
the jungles in fiordlands are ringers for jurassic park. when i was there i half expected to be gutted by a raptor any minute, so it's a possibility.

[ComerPerro]

23. Oh I love this shit

"Noah put animals in the ark according to KIND, not species. You can have several different variations within say the dog family, but you only had to have a minimal amount of original ancestors. Dinosaurs were likely on the ark, and are likely mentioned in the Bible as well. Noah was old enough (over 600) to know not to bring full grown dinosaurs on the boat when babies could do."


What a dumbass. Dinosaurs lived with men? Noah?

Have these people ever considered that the Bible is not a true, word-for-word account of history?
This bullshit rambling sounds like a stupid children's story.

[EOTE]

27. Kind?

I know of Kingdom, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species (conveniently remembered by the pnemonic device; "Please don't come over for gay sex.) Nowhere do I see 'kind' listed. I'm very interested in seeing what this moran's definition of kind is.

Dear god, is there any way I can get back the last half hour of my life? I not only feel more ignorant after having read that thread, but I feel rather dirty as well. Surely there's not a sizeable portion of the population that is this stupid. I refuse to think of these people as my fellow man.

[northzax]

29. well according to recent polls

(don't have the link) significantly more 'muricans believe in the Virgin Birth of Jaysus than in evolution. (oh where oh where has the intellectual tradition of religion gone? Where have you gone St. Augustine? A nation turns it's lonely eyes to you...)

my personal favourite comment:

To: DittoJed2

There are also Christian missionaries who have reported seeing teradactyls (sp?) in remote New Zealand jungles.

Yeah. I have heard about that. And the natives from the region who see drawings of a pterodactyl (I'm not sure if that's right myself in spelling) recognize it as a living species in their region. They also fear them.

ER, I know a lot of people in New Zealand. And even drunk they won't mention ever seeing a fucking pterodactyl. and you'd think, as biologists and naturalists, they'd mention it on occasion, right? Where the fuck do you hide a pterodactyl in a country the size of Colorado?
ON EDIT: do you think the Freepers with a high school edumacation ever get frustrated with the knuckle-draggers?

[leftofthedial]

30. believe it or not, I worked with a college-edumacated creationist

freeper dittohead

Very intelligent man and well educated.

But whenever his extremist religious dogma would bubble to the surface (triggered by any number of keywords that might come up in conversation), it just totally shut down his ability to reason. It was frightening to watch--like seeing someone in the process of a psychotic breakdown, or having a front row seat for a real Jeckyll and Hyde show. I must admit I really enjoyed pushing his buttons. It was so easy and so absurd.

Creepy.

[Ediacara]

31. They also fear them.

That part is funny. Despite what Jurassic Park III taught us, a human could fell a fairly large pterosaur like Pteranodon longiceps with a fairly stiff kick in the head. They had well muscled wings, and not much else, and would be the boxing equivalent of a very large pelican.

Incidentally...... Pteranodon means "wing without teeth", yet the JP3 Pteranodon had teeth!

[DarkPhenyx]

46. Not Peterodactyl, or even Pteranodon...

Just big freakin fruit bats. They got some monsters down there. It isn't just TX where they do things big.

[EOTE]

32. Errrr.....

That pnemonic device should read: Kindly don't come over for gay sex.

[MisterP]

40. it's "mnemonic device"

lungs can become pneumonic

36. Can someone spare me a read through this shit and just tell me:

Where in the Bible do they think it mentions dinosaurs? More idiocy, no doubt.

There is a translation of the Bible that reads: "There were giants in the Earth in those days..." and I've heard fundies talking about how once giants roamed the Earth. 'Says so in th' Bahble!'

The actual translation of the passage is: "There were important people on the Earth in those days." Which makes much more sense when you read in context. The chapter then goes on to name the patriarchs of all the important tribes. Important people, y'see?

[MissMillie]

34. There's a discussion about dinosaurs in that thread?

All I see is an argument about who flamed who and who broke what rule.

[hatrack]

45. Must . . . control . . . head . . . exploding . . . with . . . laughter

Could these guys even possibly, theoretically be any more cretinous?

Unbelievable and HILARIOUS!!!
