Dig is a bronze age historytuber.

Did half of the dinosaurs we know about even exist?

"Recently someone found a single tooth and about one square foot of what we think possibly may be a jaw bone. NEW DINOSAUR CONFIRMED AND HERE'S A MILLION THING WE THNK WE KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!!!"

I remember when I was a teenager in middle school, my two best friends had a debate over creationism vs a multi billion year earth. When the topic of dinosaur bones were brought up, I remembered that my creationist friend argued that God put them in the ground to confuse people. It was a heated debate and one of the funner memories from school.

That's not the point I'm trying to make just the fact that when it comes to dinosaur bones we have significantly fewer than what most people seem to think we do and paleontologists seem very very trigger happy on announcing new dinosaurs or new discoveries that really are nothing but guesswork.

But does God have a sense of humor or does He simply allow things to happen that He knows people will find funny?

I know but what you said brought back found memories in my head and I wanted to share.

God is good.

The arguing in the comments is funny. That "British looted $45 trillion saar, yes!", "India is an artificial construct, it was never real." (probably Pakistani), "Muslims." (could be anyone really). The video likely cited post-independence, Hindu nationalist sources, ones that idolise Gandhi's role in it all whilst simultaneously trying to distance themselves from having any hand in it. The tell is how the video says it was the king who appointed Mountbatten to oversee it all, when Mountbatten was actually chosen by the president of the Indian league and was then appointed by Attlee, just to name one. The video also says Jinnah, the guy who called for a day of direct action did not call for violence, but when announcing the said event he said:

"We do not want war. If you want war we accept your offer unhesitatingly. We will either have a divided India or a destroyed India."

And the day prior:

"Go to the Congress and ask them their plans. When they take you into their confidence I will take you into mine. Why do you expect me alone to sit with folded hands? I also am going to make trouble."

Potential political sperging, or history sperging, can't tell: Indian nationalists are stuck in an awkward position of hating the British and wanting to blame everything wrong with India on having been ruled by them, but then consequently having to do mental gymnastics to defend a group that is ostensibly foreign to the sub-continent despite said group wanting either nothing to do with them or see them all eradicated. They're forced to foster an image of the country in their heads which never really existed. What doesn't help this is India never wrote down its own history. It always took outside forces invading or coming to rule in a local kingdom for something to be put to paper. The first kingdom to start writing anything down was the Dehli sultanate, which took a chunk out of North India in the 12/13th centuries, which is why we have to rely on Chinese or Persian writings prior. The Mughals arriving and actually writing shit down comprehensively and being the best rulers of the sub-continent prior to the British also stings, since Hindu nationalists don't want to laud an invading, ostensibly Muslim state. Their achievements have to be their own, and the absence of such achievements already is because of the British extracting $45 trillion dollars of wealth from the continent (that's a 3rd of the USA in current day) so yeah, I can't even laud their national pride on principle.

Pretty much every colonized country has to wrestle with the fact that they were colonized in the first place. Sure your colonial masters brutalized you and stole you from you, but why were you so weak to allow that to happen?

Nationalists have no answer except for scapegoats. Indian nationalists blame the Muslims and Sikhs without realizing that it was those divisions that allowed the British to conquer in the first place.

I'm looking forward to this. Regardless of how sound or flimsy his arguments and evidence will be the amount of seethe this will cause will be unprecedented. Bloodsports for the bloodsports god, sneed for the sneed throne.

Do you have some examples of that happening? Sounds interesting.

Alt Hype did a really good video on this topic a few years ago, its called "What the British did to India".

Creationism is a bastardization of the original Hebrew teaching. Nowhere in the biblical texts or the scrolls they're compiled from are the creative days referred to as literal days consisting of 24 hour periods. The language is the same style as you'd use to describe 'the days of your youth' or similar concepts. Each 'day' is referring to a specific act of creation: I.E the day in which God created the heavens, the day in which he populated the seas with fish, etc. In other words, the word 'day' is distinguishing one period of labour from another. The length of time is neither specified nor even implied, the literal meaning amounts to 'during this time period, God was exclusively focused on doing this. When that time period ended, a new one began where he focused on something different'.

Edit: If you think about it, the '24 hour days' thing can't be true, simply on the basis that when they started, the sun hadn't been made yet. It's a chicken & egg scenario; you can't measure something using a unit of measurement that doesn't exist.

tl;dr; scriptural literalists are retarded.
