Ancient Dinosaur Depictions

ok ok i confess im a christian...lol But it may or may not comfort some of you that i dont think people can be won to christ through convincing but simply by sharing the simplicity of the gospel and men will either believe or they wont but no matter your stand and what lens you look through this is still interesting so even if you dont believe in god or creation its still a fun mystery so enjoy

I guess there is much left out of the ancient scriptures. How arrogant of man not to consider the "Garden" had a stock of all animals, not just human beings

So 8bitbreakfast.. what is the conspiracy you wish to discuss?

Not a two lined post.

This is nonsense. People carve/paint, and have carved/painted, fanciful stuff all the time. Not to mention the fact that unearthed fossils gave people the impression that these creatures existed, so it's no wonder a few were depicted, if that is what they are.

So this is nothing for anyone to wonder about.

that very ignorant, how can you say that these people just painted stuff that just happen to look exactly like the dinosaurs we found. they aren't just random pictures. thee people knew pretty well what they were painting. its not that they just drew lizards that were big. they drew dinosaurs that had characteristics found only in dinosaurs.

"Just happen" to look like? It does not take much imagination to imagine skin on giant lizard skeletons. I know what dinosaurs probably looked like yet I have never personally seen one alive. Have you?

..and exactly what characteristics (depicted in cave drawings etc) are only found in dinosaurs?

Mixed in with pictures of possible dinosaurs are stylized local animals, fire breathing dragons, and a urn that seems to prove the ancients found and excavated fossils.
Some of the drawings that do resemble dinosaurs seem incomplete, since dinosaur skeletons do get exposed, it's possible they did reconstructions of creatures.

One especially reminds me of the "unicorn" reconstruction they had at a European musuem for a while.

Fairies also must have existed. We can't find them in the ground so thats even more proof as.. how else would those artists have known about them?

No, it's ignorant to make wild-ass guesses about ancient people's knowledge of dinosaurs based on flimsy evidence. Statistically-speaking, it is far more likely that they just figured out that fossils were once alive and had skin, than some other explanation involving time-travelling cavemen or hiding dinosaurs.

'Ignorant' doesn't mean 'mundane'.

that is pretty much what evolutionists do all the time. They apply a lot of guess work and imagination to bits of bones they find and claim to know what creatures evolved into others, complete with pretty pictures to back them up.
