Why don't my local museums have real fossils?

They have carbon fiber and plastic fossils and says this is evidence for evolution. Nice joke there. They're really good pranksters if you ask me.

Fossils don't prove anything. Especially plastic ones. haha

    If Fossils proved anything they would have proved 2200 years ago when they show up in Western Literature. Got it :)

    The big skeletons are normally casts, because

    A) this is more lightweight to set up than stone exhibits and

    B) The originals cost a fortune, and your museum couldn't afford them.

    Museums have real fossils. You can buy real fossils, like Trilobites, dinosaur eggs, and fossilized fish. You might like to have a Trilobite.. They lived 250-500 MILLION years before your god supposedly created the universe. Ha, ha.

    Fossils do prove ONE thing:

    It died.

    The real ones are there or at another museum.

    They put replicas on display to avoid theft and damage.

    Instead of resorting to some conspiracy theory perhaps you could ask the people who work at your local museums if it would be possible to view some actual fossils.

    because the real ones are sent into testing, and sent out into a big fancy rich people museum .

    Maybe they didn't have enough money, if it's just a small, local place..? I don't know. But I can assure you that I have been to museums where they had plenty of real, and very impressive, fossils! Do recommend you to visit one of those, if you're in a bigger city, someday.
