Were Dinosaurs Real?

>>8061590
No.

He's absolutely right.

>>8061590
Why don't you go to your local natural history museum and have your brother talk to a curator?

is it just (non-avian) Dinosaurs or does he believe all paleofauna (maybe even flora?) is fake?

>>8061590
donald trump made the chinese so they could sell fake bones every body knows this

>>8061599
Just the big lizardy mofos. He says the mammals and birds were real.

>>8061596
I was hoping there was an easier way desu.

I was heavily doctrinated into the christian religion against my will and still struggle with the idea of dinosaurs. I know its evident that they are real my gut always tells me "If dinosaurs are real, why weren't they an integral part of the bible?" I have long fallen out of the christian religion but I just wanted to prove its possible for people to struggle with th once existence of dinosaurs.

the beginning point can be to just to challenge this conspiracy theory on it's own justification.

Faking thousands of data points, in thousands of scientific papers in several disciplines, with thousands of people involved, coordinating it over literally several hundred years, cross-matching everything to trick the whole world into believing in the existence of a seemingly random clade of Archosaurs, in order to ... ???
For no apparent purpose. Pulling off the biggest scientific conspiracy just for the sake of lying.

>>8061637
That's all I could say..

>are you saying that all scientist are lying?

I know he's being stupid, I just couldn't offer facts.

Here's the video he watched..

I actually feel sad that a member of my family has sunk to such depths.

>>the chinese created false bones for sale to museums
right, so western societies have no "false bones" to sell, only the chinese profit, that makes sense.

>>they used whale bones or giraffe bones to create fake dinosaur blueprints
>whale bones
>t-rex skull

>>there is not one single full skeleton of a large lizard-like dinosaur (t-rex etc)
u wot

>iguanas head
>triceratops "false" skull

>modern conspiracy of false dinos to increase sales
>bones have been dated to millions of years ago
>fake dinosaurs were made from fossils of "whales" and "giraffes" that lived millions of years ago
>fake bones that were found so much in abundance that the evil chinese were able to construct perfectly symmetrical morphological anatomies, so perfect that it might as well be a fake new imaginary species!


No offense, but your brother must the dumb af. Judging from the chinese conspiracy stuff, is he a Trump supporter? That would somehow explain this predicament. Otherwise you might want to welcome him as the new member of /x/.

>>8061689
I know. It's ridiculous.

I'm about to watch the video just to see how bad it is.

What worries me is.. when I laughed it off, he got really defensive and angry. It's a 30 minute YT video ffs. I fear his mind may be cracking.

>>8062417
OP here.

I've watched the video in question. /thread. My bro is retarded. No help is needed.

Thanks for the replies.

Coming to /sci/ might be easier, but it's not likely to be effective.
If he's gone "truther" on dinosaurs, it's gonna take something more convincing than a chat board to straighten him out.

Ex-Catholic here.
The Catholic faith takes the position that Genesis in particular isn't meant to be treated as literal truth, nor is it meant to include everything that happened between creation and Moses.
Hope that helps.

Nah, I'm pretty sure they don't let people lie on the internet.

If he can believe that then his credulity has no limits. Maybe when he realises it's bullshit he'll be inoculated against the rest of it (flat earth, reptillians, etc.).
