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.

I've seen atheist types try to discredit the Bible by bringing up the "unicorn" in the Old Testament, which in reality is a rhino. Makes more sense when you see it as the latter rather than a fantasy animal. Likewise with "dragons" in the Old Testament, makes more sense for it to be, say, a triceratops or an allosaur rather than a fire-breathing lizard with wings (how would a cold-blooded animal breathe fire, anyway?)

Dragons and Unicorns are an exclusively KJV thing where they substituted European mythical beasts for unknown and or levantese mythical beasts.

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

from recent memory here's Perucetus colossus, a recent discovery theorized to be the largest animal to ever exist. They found a couple vertebrae two ribs and that weird pelvis remnant thingy that cetaceans have.

One one hand you can tell a lot from just a single bone by way of comparative anatomy but on the other hand i think they're jumping the gun sometimes. Especially since academics need to produce papers to justify their existence and have a tendency to lie for clout.

This is a great example.

Another great example would be the eternally fluctuating status of the Brontosaurus as to whether or not it even existed. I think we're on the third or fourth time now that we've decided "actually it did exist" but they might have brought it back to "Actually it's an Apatasaurus" again without me knowing, depends on the time of day really.

Here's a video about the "Antarctic T-Rex" Nanuqsaurus and all the things we "know" about it:

Here's a picture that shows you how much of the thing we've actually found by highlighting it in red:


There are plenty more that I can't be fucked to link to right now but basically anytime you see a dinosaur or hear someone talk about a dinosaur actually try to find records of how many bones they've really found and it's usually similar to these two examples.

EDIT: Gonna add a couple more Nanuqsaurus pictures just to try to drive home how little we actually know about these sorts of things and how much is literal guesswork. The bits we've actually found are in white/blue and everything we assume/infer is in grey/black:

I stand by what I said in my initial post. Likewise, if you read near the end of Job and see behemoth and leviathan, you can tell they're talking about an elephant and a crocodile if you're paying attention to the descriptions of the animals.

Speaking of Christianity, here's Wendigoon covering the cult/Christian sect led by Jan van Leiden

Jack Rackham has also done a video on them. Much shorter and simplifies the cult's whole deal as being proto-Communists.

IIRC Dan Carlin did an excellent episode on this in Hardcore History, the episode is called Prophets of Doom. Its been a while since I listened through it, but I'm pretty sure it's about the same topic.

Creationism is a bastardization of the original Hebrew teaching.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Rocks, I get why they take a while to make, but I wish he'd upload more

Tartaria schizoids are some of my favorite people to encounter on the internet right after Afrocentrists, but they rarely leak out of their own circles anymore.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Tartaria is real, the Finno-Korean Hyperwar is real, Thule is real, Hyperborea is real, Atlantis is real and I can prove it!
