This guy knows what happened to the dinosaurs.

http://www.creationism.org/topbar/dinosaurs.htm

And to the creationists, I have a question: You don't believe this, do you?

Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible and in ancient literature from many countries. They were called dragons. (The word "dinosaur" was invented in the 1840's, i.e. after most or all of the kinds of dinosaurs/dragons had gone extinct.) There are dragon "legends" remembered in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Germany, Russia, ancient Rome, among the Anglo-Saxons, within several regions of Africa, and even scattered across North and South America. Before humans (and possibly environmental changes) killed them off over the course of thousands of years there is evidence - from around the world! - that humans saw dinosaurs (dragons) out in the wild.

That dragon thing is interesting. How come so many of our cultures have dragon folk lore in em and they look SO similar. Dragons been in Korean, Chinese, etc cultures since way before Marco Polo and shit and the Europeans had dragon folklore also. A lot of old stories that we have are similar to western stories, yet they been around way before we ever had dealing with eachother.

How would they have known dinosaurs existed? They roamed the earth 65 million years ago. We know because we dug them up deep under ground whereas someone 2,000 years ago with a stick might find that a bit difficult.

I was watching a show on the Greeks or Romans, I don't remember which, but they found a skull of a dinosaur and then reprinted it on some pottery as a moster or something. So the myths of dragons could have come from fossils of dinosaurs. But that, too, is pretty far fetched because at that time dinosaurs were much deeper in the ground than the land they were walking on and for a fossil to "surface" would probably be pretty rare.

Because the bible is merely a collection of books/scrolls from the Alexandrian library put together by jewish scholars in an attempt to ween the people into judaism by integrating other traditions and cultures into it. The word "bible" is derived from biblus (or something like that) which is latin for "library".

Really LOL I always thought that came from scientists as they studied the course of time as written in the Bible. I personally have never met a religious person who stated that claim.
