I Don't Know if Dinosaurs Were Real | Ep 670

[Kyle-snlf]

30:11 If your here for the dinosaur part.

[SpecklesTeeV]

I’m taking Paleontology in University and let me say, I was woefully unprepared for the things she said about dinosaurs not being real. We have the technology to prove they were real and about their characteristics. We have microscopes to prove the color of prehistoric creatures. On numerous of dinosaurs, there are tiny fibers on bones that have a wide surface area suggesting they had colors and specifically the males to impress females which makes sense as this is a thing in the animal kingdom. As much for what they sounded like, again, we can look at several modern windpipes and different parts that would make sound. Depending on the size or length, we can determine. We made tools that made sound which we use in music so it’s a very similar process. Of course we don’t have full evidence of what they really sounded like but it’s estimates. As for the skin, I mean some specimens actually preserve skin, signs of flesh on them. On an Edmontosaurus forelimb, it was preserved majorly with signs of skin, flesh and different organic matter. See, fossils are bones and bones exist in almost every animal on the planet including humans. There are so many discoveries of their existence such as footprints that no other modern animal has, fossilized eggs that are sizes of watermelons, rock studying. These ‘nerds’ have absolutely revolutionized a major part of the Science world and the talk about existence and life. Don’t underestimate those who have dedicated their lives. (Maybe have taken it a bit too personal but I need to spit facts and I get it, it’s a conspiracy upon many people but it’s pretty much outdated and proved)

My response to her statements about dinosaurs never existing is this:
“Your brain and mind never existed. It’s a bunch of dead braincells in your head. How do you know it is you in the mirror and that you are actually woman and human?”

[IATTLE]

The combined IQ in this podcast can be counted on one hand

[redeemedzoomer]

Bruh this is why people think Christians are stupid... not believing in dinosaurs or that we landed on the moon.

[wd]

If you ever begin to doubt yourself, just remember that this person went on a podcast, actually proclaimed dinosaurs were "just a bunch of nerds putting together a fantasy world, " and expected to be taken seriously.

[corgimom]

I do not equate my dogs with actual children but they are my babies and I do treat them very well, likely better than some dog owners. I also am pregnant and realize they are two very different relationships

[Tarttaken]

So you don’t trust paleontologists who spent half their lives on studying fossils, but you trust a book that was changed multiple times through history with various translations and written by some mysterious person you have never even seen a picture or remnant of.


(Also I mean no Offense to any Christians)

[misagarcia]

For anyone wondering who she is; she’s Allie B Stuckey, a Christian conservative personality.

I used to follow her last year when I was fully conservative
Now that I’m more in the middle, not anymore.

I mean, I’m also a Christian but I do believe dinosaurs existed.

[MeowlodieHL]

Dinos are totally real!! Have you ever picked up/out a fossil of any sort out of the ground? It is such a cool feeling.

[Caesarsalad]

I don’t believe in aliens I believe they are fallen angels

[chandler]

I love how Allie said that she believed we landed on the moon until she thought about it. Pretty much everyone’s position on all conspiracy theories.

[PickleJuice_]

How is this woman 31 but she still can’t comprehend what dinosaurs are?

[pikapi]

came for the dinosaur part. There are answers to her questions. Here is the answer that I got from ChatGPT:

"The knowledge about the appearance of dinosaur skin and the sounds they made is based on scientific research and evidence gathered from various sources. Although we do not have direct observations or recordings of dinosaurs, scientists have used different methods to make educated inferences about their skin and vocalizations. Here are some of the techniques and evidence used:

Fossil evidence: Fossilized dinosaur skin impressions called "skin fossils" have been discovered in certain cases. These impressions provide valuable information about the texture, scales, and other physical characteristics of dinosaur skin. By studying these impressions, scientists can make interpretations about the skin appearance of different dinosaur species.

Comparative anatomy: Scientists compare the structures and skin patterns of dinosaurs to those of their modern relatives, such as birds and reptiles. By studying the skin of living animals and understanding their evolutionary relationships, scientists can make informed assumptions about the skin features of dinosaurs.

Soft tissue preservation: In some exceptional cases, fossils have preserved soft tissues such as feathers, scales, or even internal organs. These rare finds offer direct insights into the physical appearance and covering of certain dinosaurs.

Biomolecular studies: Scientists have conducted studies on the fossilized remains of dinosaurs to extract and analyze biomolecules, such as proteins and pigments. These studies provide additional clues about the coloration and potential patterns on dinosaur skin.

Regarding dinosaur sounds, determining their vocalizations is more challenging. Vocalizations don't fossilize, so scientists have to rely on indirect evidence and comparisons with modern animals. By studying the anatomy of dinosaur skulls and examining the structure of their vocal apparatus, such as the presence of air sacs and the shape of the inner ear, scientists can make hypotheses about the types of sounds dinosaurs may have produced. They also compare dinosaurs to living reptiles and birds to make educated guesses about their vocalizations.

It's important to note that our understanding of dinosaur appearance and sounds is continually evolving as new discoveries are made and scientific techniques improve. The reconstructions provided by scientists are based on the best available evidence, but they are still subject to ongoing research and refinement."

My response to her dumb statement about the dinosaur not existing: "hey lady, what are fossils then? what are fossils? what are the fossils and how they look and how they sounded? THEY INSPECT THE DNA AND LOOK CLOSE AND TRY TO IMAGINE WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE, im christan too, but why dinosaurs are real, the movie versions aren't how the dinosaurs actually looked like, i hope anyone else can understand this."

[Vintage_Recreations]

Hint; Dinosaur and dragon are the SAME word in Chinese. So guess what we used to call them.

[hglundahl]

30:55 It so happens, Dinosaurs come in very variable states of preservation.

Tyrannosaurus Rex has 30 complete skeleta.

Uberabatitan ribeiroi is supposedly from three individuals, but each so incomplete that it's impossible to tell if the femur was from a sauropod or from a humanoid giant.

Sauropods would however be fairly well documented from Congo, sightings by black men in the region, named Mokele Mbembe.

_"Tales of entities like mokele-mbembe, living saurians walking around the African rain forest, are not rare, there have been multiple tales of large, smooth skinned quadrupeds with long necks that fed on large prey still living in central Africa.[7] It was only after the description of the mokele-mbembe surfaced that the rest of the world started interpreting those legends as possessing a dinosaur-like body structure. A notable example would be the emela-ntouka, an elephant sized creature that shares a lot of similarities with the mokele-mbembe, it is described as having smooth skin, a strong and muscular tail and a "horn" or "tooth".[8] Another similar creature, the jago-nini was described by Alfred Aloysius Smith who had worked for a British trading company in what is now Gabon in the late 1800s, briefly mentions it in his 1927 memoir.[9]"_

Citing wiki, but there was a French linguist in the 50's who was _not_ a creationist and who believed mokele-mbembe to be real sauropods - and some Babylonian critters to be real Iguanodons.

It's only after mokele-mbembe became used by Creationists that it became such a big no no with certain people, and termed a "conspiracy theory"

Apart from Sauropods, we seem to have fairly good evidence for post-Flood pterosaurs - thunderbirds in Amerindian lore and the dragon in Beowulf. Pre-Flood - my fav as "Austrian at heart" is Ankerschlag, but there are lots of complete skeleta with the wings that are slightly batlike. Dimetrodon grandis, a pre-Flood example is from Bavaria, and a post-Flood one seems to have been killed by Sigurd / Sigfried - and wooden sculptures of its head became a real hit on Viking ships.

Guys dont blame her… she is just blonde 💀💀

[Johnnie_be_Wretched]

Move to Arizona and you will see men of all ages wearing shorts because it's waaaay hot here. That rule won't fly for guys over 15 here

[Parami-vxhz]

30:10 She’s got two brain cells left and they’re both fighting for third place.
