There is a group called Christians Against Dinosaurs<\/a>. They are clearly nuts. This article is taken from Addicting Info<\/a>. It makes for disturbing reading:<\/p>\n

Most Christians are warm, loving people. Some\u00a0use their chosen holy book to spew hatred and bigotry<\/a>. Others\u2026are just insane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apparently,\u00a0Christians Against Dinosaurs<\/a>\u00a0is an actual f*cking\u00a0thing<\/a>. While this may seem like a belief system one may temporarily form while having a bad time of exploring the effects of psychedelics, this group of brave Bible-believers is fighting against the horrific, Satanic scientists thrusting upon the world the belief that\u2026dinosaurs existed.<\/p>\n

For some, believing that the world is a mere 10,000 years old and that Jesus rode a T-Rex\u00a0on his return to Galilee (That\u2019s not in the Bible. Don\u2019t bother.) isn\u2019t good enough. Christians Against Dinosaurs aims to have the titanic lizards removed from classrooms and replaced with pure, Godly, Bibley, stuff \u2014 perhaps, like\u00a0unicorns\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0dragons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s raving lunacy is so prevalent that it has gotten some involved banned from parenting forums,\u00a0HuffPo reports<\/a>. CADministry was removed from\u00a0Mumnet<\/a>\u00a0after a tale of\u00a0disowning her sister after the latter presented her nieces and nephews\u00a0with dinosaur toys. This Christian, anti-dinosaur crusader warned that lessons about dinosaurs would cause children to become \u201cbestially minded\u201d and bite one another:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am getting sick and tired of dinosaurs being forced on our children.\u00a0At my children\u2019s school, several children were left in tears after one of their classmates (who had evidently been exposed to dinosaurs) became bestially-minded and ran around the classroom roaring and pretending to be a dinosaur. Then he bit three children on the face.\u00a0Recently my sister foolishly gave my two youngest some dinosaur toys for Christmas. After telling her to get out of my house, I burnt the dinosaurs. My children were delighted because they know that dinosaurs are evil. I am fortunate that my family has been very supportive, and has disowned my children\u2019s former aunt.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One woman, posting on the group\u2019s\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>, explained that fossils are a gigantic lie perpetrated by \u2018Big Paleontology\u2019 to deceive humanity into\u2026paying them.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fossil is not actually a piece of bone,\u201d she says in the video. \u201cIt\u2019s actually a bone that was once in the ground that has been filled with limestone, calcium, and other stone-like deposits, so at the end of the day, it\u2019s a rock made out of rocks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you have a rock that\u2019s [six-inches long] and you hand it to a paleontologist, who chips away at it until you have something looking like a bone \u2014 and that<\/em> is a fossil,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n

After covering a table with broken pieces of\u2026something, she tells viewers to pretend they are paleontologists (ooh, activity time!) and put the shards back together in their original form. She even offered some spackle to assist in the reconstruction.<\/p>\n

But, she says, it\u2019s supposed to be a brachiosaurus skull \u2014 and\u00a0\u201cIf you\u2019re a paleontologist and you want to keep your job,\u00a0you turn that into a brachiosaurus skull.\u201d<\/p>\n
