Proving yet again that education provides no immunity from stupidity, academia has successfully pawned off one of the great "scientific" hoaxes of the past 2 centuries with its theory of dinosaurs - a wholly mythical creature without foundation in fact.
The dinosaur industry started in the mid 19th C. at about the same time that Charles Darwin's crackpot theory of evolution began to take the world by storm. Richard Owen, Superintendent of the British Museum Natural History Department postulated the existence of dinosaurs in 1842 which after 12 short years resulted in the discovery dinosaur bones near the upper Missouri River when Ferdinand Hayden found a few unidentified teeth which had to be those of dinosaurs.
As Erasmus (1466-1536) once quipped, speaking of the massive quantities of relics of the true cross, there were enough of them to build Noah's ark. And so it is with the alleged dinosaur teeth and bones - it only takes a couple of odd teeth, a chip of an elephant tusk, and a few chicken bones to contrive a dinosaur display for a prestigious museum.
As Eric Dubay noted in our reference article, the public is entirely unaware that dinosaur displays are fabrications of random bones and teeth supplemented by large quantities of fabricated pieces made of plaster, epoxies, and plastics. No one has ever discovered a dinosaur in situ. The majority of the ones placed in museums are complete hoaxes. For example Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Marsh, 2 leading 19th C. paleontologists, "discovered" 136 dinosaurs of which over 75% have been rejected as invalid.
Nearly all dinosaur "discoveries" have been made by paleontologists and related "scientists" who have a vested interested in promoting the dinosaur hoax. Billions of dollars are at stake and in play when one considers the academic and entertainment industries which have profited handsomely by the belief, the movie Jurassic Park being a prime example.
The majority of discoveries have come from concentrated areas which defies the laws of probabilities, so much so that a fabrication plant in China supplies fake bones and displays to this nation's premier museums. So-called real bones can sell for millions of dollars, so augmenting them with fake bones from China made by Zigong Dino Ocean Art Company, which supplies nearly 3/4 of the fake bones shown by American and European museums, makes economic sense.
Professors and museum curators hire artists to help create the mythological creatures which have no precedence in the annals of science prior to the 19th C. Unfortunately the artists do not have a good sense of physics, biomechanics, or biology as the centers of gravity and other structural characteristics of the fantasy animals make them physical impossibilities. Only in a child's fiction book or Disney Studios can dinosaurs come to life.
The alleged real bones said to be those of dinosaurs are held under lock and key with absolutely no access by the public, the main reason being that exposure of cat and chicken bones as dinosaurs could cause considerable embarrassment to the hoaxsters. Thus the keepers of the hoax have completely sabotaged the Scientific Method which requires that scientific discoveries be independently reproduced before acceptance.
So-called prestigious journals such as Nature and National Geographic have been outed so many times for the fraudulent "discoveries" that hysterical laughter should ensue from the mention of either of these names. Dubay writes:
In the 1990s many fossils with feathers were supposedly discovered in China (suspiciously close to the Zigong Dino Ocean Art Company), but when examined Dr. Timothy Rowe found the so-called “Confuciusornis” was an elaborate hoax. He also found the “Archeoraptor” supposedly discovered in the 90s was composed of bones from 5 different animals! When Dr. Rowe presented his findings to National Geographic the head scientist reportedly remarked “well all of these have been fiddled with!” National Geographic then proceeded with their news conferences and media stories about the Archeoraptor fossils being genuine and having found the missing link in evolution.
Many fall back to the redoubt of radiometric dating to buttress their claims about the antiquity of dinosaur bones, yet this method has come under great suspicion as scientists realized that it is susceptible to faulty readings for so many reasons. One of the bigger problems is that radiometric methods are applied to the rocks near the bones rather than to the bones themselves.
But why all of the fraud? The main reason is the need to fill in the gaps in the theory of evolution which has more holes in it than a colander made of Swiss cheese. The Jewish and Free Mason press need a method to undermine Christianity and the Bible, so quack paleontologists and editors of National Geographic are impressed into service with their shimmering atheistic voodoo science.
Some Biblicists point to the term leviathan and similar vocabulary in Job to sustain the idea that dinosaurs existed, but the language is too loose to make any such conclusion.
Given the relative novelty of dinosaur theories and evolution, it is very doubtful that an authentic dinosaur will ever be found - dinosaurs were a need invented by the fakers of another theory about human origins. The ones to date have certainly been the product of fertile imaginations where academia and the entertainment industries have combined to defraud the public on a grand scale.
