Yesterday, my nephews were here and we talked about the ice age movie. They keep on asking what animal was Sid *researched it and found out he's a sloth* Then the topic went to Dinosaurs. I told them that dinosaurs are not for real and just mere bones when discovered by Archaeologists. So i asked my siblings if i were correct about what i said to the kids. They were shocked and told me that i was so stupid not to believe in dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are proven by Scientist long long time ago. But i was like: "Well, they just discovered the bones and not really saw one. And besides, what they discovered where just bones. It might be a bone of some other animal." So i ended up reclaiming what i have just said *bugger*. glare

So what about mylotters perspective?
Do you think dinosaurs really existed without really seeing one in person *movies not counted*?

sadDid they really called you stupid? hey, at least you explained to the kids. and you could have told them too that they were real but only existed a long time ago, and all they are now are bones and fossils. and the ones in the movie are not real. of course, they were REAL, we are so lucky they don't exist anymore. otherwise, our evolution as a human would have been differentlol


myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1369)   ranked 2,517 out of 38,434 in life  5 months ago

Yeah, it's not really offensive if you believe that you are not really like one. lol So you do believe it then. doh I still have my doubts with these creatures. I just can't believe myself that i was not really believing dinosaurs. After i watched so many dinosaur films, i thought i believed them. Then suddenly my mouth started blabbering about dinosaurs that they were just phoneys. Let's wait for some other mylot members' opinion, though. Thanks LK. thumbup

happywell, if you watch discovery, animal planet or national Georaphic, you will know they exist. otherwise, there wouldn't be sharks, turles, lizards, which happened to be dinosaurs descendantsthumbup

Dinosaurs have totally extinct from this world and the reasons are we humans. I not blaming to the going on generation but our fore fathers or ancestors. But that time they had no other option to be safe and living.
Bones...eggs etc are being found but this only proves that they did exist at some era of time but now nothing can be done for them instead we can do much for saving many endangered species.
So that atleast there existence would not remind us about these dinosaurs.

The classic case of chicken and egg thing, KP. Logic prevent me from saying I know so "I believe so", else where would that bones comes from. Forensic Science has matured over years(probably inspired by CSI.) What my problem actually is convincing my kids the they are long gone dead millions of year ago because movies and tv shows about dinosaurs are so realistically alive.


myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1369)   ranked 2,517 out of 38,434 in life  5 months ago

I can not imagine the faces of your kids seeing dinosaurs in person. w00t They might go like this one ->shocked.

yeah you're right. there are no dinosaurs. it might just be a bone of some animal. some really big animal of let's say about a hundred feet or more. sorry, for the sarcasm but you are the only person i know who doesn't believe in the existence of dinosaurs. even many christians who think the earth is 6000 years old believe in dinosaurs!


myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1369)   ranked 2,517 out of 38,434 in life  5 months ago

Thanks for the opinion versio9. I also could not believe myself that i am not really believing dinosaurs. Maybe i could learn to understand their possible existence someday. thumbup

Dinasours? Well... Its hard to believe Scientists.
Sciencs has prooved that Dinasours inhabited earth before humans. However, I dont trust scientists so much. The reason being, science is totally based on assumptions. The scientists just predict that things would be like this and like that. However, their assumptions may not be true. The very begining of science is based on assumptions, exceptions and some predictions. So how can someone blindfoldedly believe in their conclusions?
I believe they can be correct just by 30-35%. But I would never trust them fully.
So for me Dinasours are just fiction turned reality stuff. Dinasours are just imagined creature which may not be true.


myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1369)   ranked 2,517 out of 38,434 in life  5 months ago

Thank for the opinion murtuza, then i shall stand for what i believe *again*. thumbup


myLot reputation of 85/100. murtuza89 (313)   ranked 4,068 out of 38,434 in life  5 months ago

Wow! U get influenced by others so easily!
I would recommend you not to take things for granted.
maybe I was right in what I said. But there is a possibility that I may be wrong also.
So always confirm things before you trust.
Just an Advice.:)


myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1369)   ranked 2,517 out of 38,434 in life  5 months ago

Maybe i have this 50-50 percent on believing this thing. I just need a little convincing and that would make me believe things right away. You may be right with what you said though. I appear to be gullible but i am somehow suspicious around me. Thanks for the advice murtuza! I will always keep that in mind. wink


myLot reputation of 85/100. murtuza89 (313)   ranked 4,068 out of 38,434 in life  4 months ago

Again you agreed with what I said.
You should not always agree with everyones opinion.
Aniways, Thanks for the Best Response.
Happy Mylotting!

Dear koalapenguin,

Millions of years ago, long before there were any people,
there were dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were one of several kinds
of prehistoric reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era,
the "Age of Reptiles."

There were lots of different kinds of dinosaurs that lived at
different times.

* Some walked on two legs (they were bipedal),
some walked on four (they were quadrupedal). Some could
do both.
* Some were speedy (like Velociraptor), and some were slow
and lumbering (like Ankylosaurus).
* Some were armor-plated, some had horns, crests, spikes,
or frills.
* Some had thick, bumpy skin, and some even had primitive
feathers.

My son loves dinosaurs, he was so excited when we borught him
to the Museum of Natural History in New York and London. He just
love those dinosaurs...these museum have the reals dinosaurs bones
on display! It Is REAL. Attached is a dinosaur photo that I snapped
at Everland Theme Park in South Korea!

All the best and do keep in touch!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1181)   ranked 824 out of 38,434 in life  4 months ago

Dinosaurs have many types...some eat plants
and some eat meat.

Herbivarous and Carnivarous Dinosaurs.

I like Herbivarous... happy
My son like T-Rex (the king of dinasaurs)

 

myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1369)   ranked 2,517 out of 38,434 in life  4 months ago

Hey there Iriene. Yeah. Some say it's real while others don't believe in it. It's just so hard to believe these creatures when you yourself have not witnessed their presence. I know it would be very impossible because a lot of dinosaurs would eat us if we lived with them but it's just so hard to believe. doh I am a fan of them too but i really doubt on their existence. rasp I thought someone could give me a nice idea about what to believe on these creatures and it will be the talk of the myLot community but sadly, i failed. Only few members have responded and gave their opinion. Thanks for sharing your story and your opinion though. rolleyes
