Things I don't understand...

Within the past two years I have met two people who don't "believe" in dinosaurs.  Yes, "believe" like dinosaurs are like the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.

I totally support everyone's right to their own opinion, but I just don't really get how they can not be sure about dinosaurs.  If they didn't really exist, how did people THINK up dinosaurs?  Like who's imagination is responsible for the T-Rex, a massive killing machine with arms that short?  If I were to think up a fictional animal, I don't think I'd end up with something looking like that.


When I asked one of them "So how do you explain the fossils that have been found all over the world?", her answer was "I think the government is just fuckin' with us."

The people I know that don't believe in dinosaurs are religious fanatics that think that people dug up a bunch of random bones and just chose to assemble them that way and filled in missing pieces on their own for the purpose of disproving creationism somehow...
In their minds creationism and evolution don't coexist ever.

I don't know a single person who thinks dinosaurs are a farce.

These people are likely not religious fanatics but just plain whack...

OMG...I have never met someone who didn't believe in dinosaurs either.

Wiggity, wiggity, wiggity, WHACK, for sure.

While that makes sense (religious fanatics want to disprove creationism), the two people I know who don't believe are agnostic at best. They aren't very religious at all.

They are clearly delusional!
