NLBS #39: The Dinosaur Hoax And Christians Against Dinosaurs

Great show, Joe. Where ever you find fundies you'll find willful ignorance.
The literacy charity is a great idea. Author Peter Straub has one, at least the last I heard he did. I tried looking it up for you but couldn't find it. Anywho, thanks for the show.

You must have really thick skin with all the insults people put in comments. I like how you just shrug them off.

Christians Against Dinasours are really a group of satanists trying to trash Christianity by being complete morons.
This is intentional misrepresentation.

How can you distinguish one group from the other?

The horns!

Dead give-away!

That's how you know they are Christians!

ZING!

I don't know if you have notice but all women got boobs and it's not like they can remove them to make a video, the comment/ close up seems to me unnecessary and a great way to alienate female viewers.

I believe that's actually a fair criticism. No, he did not need to point that out, and I agree he should have stuck to the issue at hand. He completely trashed her without the need to mention her boobs, even if she were to appear in a video in a bikini (which wouldn't exactly be too Christian-like...would it?) You need to learn from that mistake, Joe. It was unduly speculative and unnecessary. Otherwise, keep up the great work! The evidence far outweighs the cries from desperate Christians. With all the various dating techniques now COMBINED to point to an actual age, I don't see how anyone, even with nice boobs, can argue the point. I think she needs to be led down to an archeological dig in progress and have her refute what she can plainly see for herself. If there is a God, he must of created the dinosaurs too. The problem is no one was around to write about them 100 million years ago. Or hell, maybe they just haven't found the Dinosaur Bible yet...Ya think?

After a few decent episodes the real NLBS is back. I used to despise religious zealots. Now the Christian bashers / atheists are actually worse than the morons that proselytize their religion.

It used to piss me off. Now I just find it ironic

I know a lot of Christians, being one myself in the past. I do not know one Christian that contested that dinosaurs existed.

I personally think that some types of dinosaurs may have existed later on, not limited to the birds. Now, humans lack a sugar found in most other mammals except mice. It is Neu5Gc. It isn't found in Reptiles, fish, or birds either, these are very ancient creatures. Are Hominids actually very ancient beings? So could this mean that Humans could have been some sort of biped raptor? Like a miniature T-Rex? We have the hunter traits.

Enough imagination. The bible does not actually say that dinosaurs did not exist long ago, it just tries to explain something to people that they were asking about. Along with millions of other Christians, I do not believe that believing dinosaurs existed long ago is a threat to Christianity. It is when people try to shove dinosaurs disproving the bible down Christians throats that they go into defensive mode and say they didn't exist. This is one of our protective modes that all humans seem to have.

It really doesn't matter that dinosaurs roamed the earth, they were here a very long time ago. Long before modern man was here on this planet. Push comes to shove happens when people get cornered, then humans can be worse than Raccoons.

You seem to like to lump all into one sum so to say. Would it not be more acurate to say female christian against dinos?

i love the term she coined in one of her videos.

the museum-industrial complex.

you know, this is how 9/11 "truthers" sound to average folk.

regardless of the science behind fossil dating some people will hold on to this idea. as our public education system continues to erode we will see an increase in this type of declaration. i see this behavior as a part of a bigger problem. our country needs to get its act together and rebuild the education system. not some BS like no child left behind but some real improvements.

Wow, is this going to be the first NLBS episode to get tossed in the hoax bin? I doubt it, but HERE is a link to the website creator's Facebook page.

It seems mighty suspicious that such a hardcore fundamentalist would let a homosexual satan worshiper build her a website.

This is beyond satire.

Need more proof? HERE you go.

Nice catch FurvusRexCaeli

love your work. I'v been watching from the first show. I think your doing a really good job of showing why some people might think dinos didn't exist.

There are really people out there like this.

keep up the good work

Guys.... dinosaurs didn't exist ok? The bible doesn't say anything about them so they can't be real. Talking snakes and giants on the other hand....

Satan put fossils there to fool us, everyone knows that! Jeez...

The question is whether the people that post on and to that website believe they themselves are there for such purposes. When this came up I was like, "I've met someone that believes these exact things." So there are people who actually believe this stuff.

So is the creator of the site a real believer? Possibly not, but there's no reason to think they might not be taking advantage of nutjobs that do.

I have a friend that has some dinosaurs out in his pasture. The kids call them emus these days.

the scary thing is what you just said has come out of some ones mouth...


isn't there a creationist museum made by that pastor who got busted for tax evasion.

I've never seen a talking snake. I'm guessing that a lack of lips is working against them.
There are giants, though. I've known one. Close to 8 foot and massive. He died of heart failure in his 30's.

no one can deny really tall people were around then and still are. before people had access to good nutrition and what not the average height was much shorter so anyone that today we would call a giant would be perceived even more giant like back then

The only people posting to that site are the actress in the videos and the people making fun of her.

He refers to her as his "client" on his Facebook page, yet he's the one who owns the domain... the same guy who owns luciferisourlord.com... Epic bullsh!t.

Are you mad yet Joe?

The guy I am speaking of had cancer of the pituitary gland.
He was a big sweet heart, but you didn't want to piss him off.

The "actress" who's publicly said she believes in it?

Ultimately, it's irrelevant, even if she were completely fake.

People really and truly believe this crap, I've known one myself, and they weren't some anti-christian nutball trying to make Christianity look bad by pretending to say they were christian and speaking nonsense. Was a girl, that was actually pretty nice and a good person, who just happened to believe this. I knew her about 15 years ago. She only went into it in her private life, had the conversation once. She didn't make youtube videos she didn't go around screaming it, was just something she believed.

So whether this was inspired by people that believe this or not, it's a real belief. People do believe this, I don't know how many, I'm guessing most don't tell it to everyone.

I can fully explain why Dinosaurs could never of existed even outside of religion. I'm not saying I agree with it but here goes...


If this planet was in fact a "Sandbox" created for us to exist and learn in then a lot of the fossils may never actually of walked this earth but were written into the Program Code to just be here on the first boot up of the simulation. Perhaps the "Master Coder" though it would be funny/interesting to put objects like OOPARTS, Pyramids and Dinosaurs to create interesting thought processes that could lead to us evolving our minds....or looking beyond our-self and honouring the Coder/Creator or like modern day programmers put "Easter Eggs" into their code ?

Hi there. I just get a link to an individual's Facebook account. Could you explain why you feel this person is connected to this movement in any significant way?
