Theories about dinosaurs.


1. Dinosaurs who didn't die in the mass extinction were the dragons of ancient myth.

2. Dinosaurs never existed and are just used as pro-evolution propaganda.

3. Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible as Behemoth and Leviathan.

Study up on Paleontology. Dinosaurs existed.

Lmao oh God, I have some Christian fundamentalist relatives who believe that unironically.

Sorry, Alien, but dinosaurs did exist. Just read up on Paleontology. The bible is not science.

Dinosaurs are not extinct; they were all abducted by aliens

Dinosaurs built Stonehenge because they needed a place to scratch their backs and tails.

Make up whatever fairytale you want but they are not theories unless you can test them.

Years and years ago, in Ottawa, Canada, our family went to a dinosaur exhibit. Very cool with animatronic dinos and all.

At one point, we came across an exhibit: What if dinosaurs hadn't died out, but had continue to evolve to become the dominant intelligent life form on earth? What would they look like? The model was a projection of what such a reptilian species would look like.

What did it look like it? It stood about six feet tall, slender, largish head, largish eyes, fine-scaled green skin, long fingers...

You know where this is going, right?

It essentially looked very much like the popular depiction of aliens a la the X-Files. (Green, not grey, but otherwise very much the same...)

So, maybe not all dinosaurs died out? If some became intelligent, it could have been tens of millions of years before us, giving them time to develop advanced technologies that we cannot hope to understand yet, if ever.

And, what if they fled earth for ??? Mars? Venus? Moons of Saturn?? Nearby stars??

Is it possible that all those UFOs we keep seeing are the ancient reptiles coming back to periodically check in on the home world?

Things that make you think twice...

You mean they escaped Earth to survive the incoming extinction?

Hey, awesome! That's the model I saw!

Although I don't believe most of this stuff, I still love to read about it. Appeals to the little kid in me who used to read sci-fi voraciously...

Hmmm... seems this idea has more traction -- evolved intelligent dinosaurs (although not space travelling dinosaurs sadly) -- than I knew of. Part of a field called speculative zoology.

The evolved, roamed the earth, and died off approximately 66 million years ago.
