Is there any proof that dinosaurs exist?

I've seen some people claim dinosaurs are fake, any proof towards that?

    Dinosaurs do not exist any more, they became extinct about 65 million years ago after being around for about 180 million years. One branch of early dinosaurs evolved into birds and birds survived the dinosaur extinction. There is plenty of evidence for dinosaurs and the fossils of hundreds of species have been discovered. The ones we know abut are just a small sample of all the dinosaurs that existed.

    If dinosaurs are fake, who made all the fossils?

    Dinosaurs definitely did exist. They are not creatures of myth or fantasy. You can go to almost any large museum and see either real fossil bones of dinosaurs or reconstructions of dinosaurs from bones in other museums.

    SOME CHRISTIANS THINK DINOSAURS DIDN'T EXIST. This is because:

    Evolutionists say dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.

    These Christians believe the world was created only thousands of years ago.

    But they have confused the argument. Dinosaurs definitely did exist. They are not creatures of myth or fantasy.

    I have my doubts, the footprints that were allegedly made by dinosaurs could have been made by ducks.

    In terms of biomechanics, dinosaurs, if they really existed, must have been very delicate animals.

    An animal doubled in length, has eight times the weight. Bone breakage may have been a problem for these dinosaurs, if they really existed.

    Dinosaur fossils.

  • 5 years ago

    Contrary to some answers, their bones have not been found but fossils of their bones, faeces (coprolites) and soft tissue have been found. The immense periods of time involved mean that processes of decay would have destroyed bone and tissue and what we are left with are trace fossils and body fossils, formed by replacement of tissues with more permanent mineral structures which exactly copy them. The processes are the same as those which have preserved structures from other animals and plants.

    Past-tense, yeah.

    I mean them eggheads will draft a while dinosaur out of one femur bone they find... BUT... in some cases whole fossils are found, too.
