Yes, the idea of basing one's theories on actual, tangible physical evidence is mindblowing, eh? Much better to base theories on someone's interpretation and reiteration of an anecdote.

This is just Satan trying to confuse us with fossils and evidence!

Because science is just a liberal conspiracy to make religious people look stupid.

This is the change of life that everyone should recognize. A species rules the earth for a long period of time before the planet resets and the species adapts/evolves. So what do you think is going to happen to the human race?

As scientist produces and interprets evidence using the scientific method and rational thought. Creationists interpret myth and try to create "facts". I prefer to believe in science.

And you've seen this physical evidence with your own eyes? Or perhaps you're refering to an artist's 'interpretation'?

Thanks for the factual evidence. Kinda mind blowing...eh?

Check out the full article at Public Library of Science ONE titled "Structural Extremes in a Cretaceous Dinosaur". It has drawings and and a full analysis of the Nigersaurus taqueti. It actually appears to be quite a detailed article, and while there are no photos, there are several very detailed sketches. Y'all might actually learn something!

AIR!?! I don't believe in air! It's not in the bible. It's just another one of Satan's science tricks. You may be filled with air but I'm filled with the holy spirit! You can keep your demonsaurs and science. I'm stickin' with Professor Jesus!

While this is amazing and he appears to be a really cool dino... I must say... that your math is mistaken... at the absolute most... he was only 5000 years old... for you see if you read the bible ... you can surely know that although the dino lived on our earth... it wasn't all that long ago.

Yes but what color was the feathers? All these naked Dinosaurs in the pictures are just standing about like plucked chickens or something.
