Dinosaurs bad influence on children and never existed

    A woman has taken to the internet in a bid to get dinosaurs banned from the curriculum because they are a “bad influence” on children and scientific proof of their existence is “pretty flimsy”.

    Writing an almost-too-ridiculous-to-be-true post on parenting forum Mumsnet, a user called CADMinistry (which seemingly stands for Christians Against Dinosaurs Ministry) explains that “nothing about dinosaurs is suitable for children, from their total lack of family values through to their non-existence from any serious scientific point of view.”

    Recently my sister foolishly gave my two youngest some dinosaurs 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’s former aunt.

    CADMinistry
    She adds an anecdote about a boy from her children’s school being given a dinosaur toy and subsequently roaming around the classroom biting the other children.

    CADMinistry, who appears to be part of a Facebook page which spreads the “facts and research about the dinosaur myth”, adds a rallying cry to all other concerned parents: “Please do all you can to get dinosaurs taken off the curriculum.”

    The Mumsnet post has now attracted over 1,000 messages and the attention of the site’s moderators who commented:

    Um… What the WHAT now??? We’re going to leave this up because we like dinosaur pictures but we’ve escorted the DinoDeniers to the door.

    But that hasn’t stopped CADMinistry. Over on YouTube channel which Mic reports she runs, she debunks the existence of fossils using a diagram of a dinosaur presumably drawn by one of her children and a cup of plaster of Paris fragments.

    A fossil is a bone that was once in the ground that has been then filled with limestone, calcium and other kinds of stone-like deposits over the course of many, many years and at the end of the day it ends up looking like a bone but it’s not really a bone. It’s really a rock inside a rock.

    Some creationist Jesus loves you mumbojumbo ****.

    Check her out though. You wouldn't say no to her.

    There was a thread on this somewhere on boards a couple of weeks ago, I think.

    How can something that doesn't exist have a lack of family values? Your move dinosaur lady.

    Religious person wants something banned because scientific proof of its existence is “pretty flimsy".

    Jurassic Park is a greater piece of fiction than the bible. So pay homage, Christians.

    Well ,when she puts it like that - she comes across as a nut -

    I would say no. I prefer my women to be intelligent. And by intelligent I mean capable of basic logic.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    How can you say the bible is a piece of fiction ? what is the definition of fiction in your context, because a lot biblical characters and events are actually historically accurate. You can't write off in one simple statement.

    The sad thing about the internet is that it only takes one person to make a piss-take post and "news" outlets begin reporting it as real

    I was enjoying looking at her, then she opened her mouth.

    This is one of the bad things about the internet, the public forum for idiots like this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    That's a new level of crazy if it's not a hoax.

    Nobody better mention that birds have basically been reclassified as avian dinosaurs. Big bird has been spreading his evil right under her nose for decades.

    '99.99% of all proper scientists on the face of the Earth' vs 'Woman with Youtube account'

    I mean, may as well flip a coin as to which side to trust...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553


    Has to be fake. A Christian cares about serious scientific view? Next you'll have the adventures of Muhammad: the comic book series from Muslims or the buddhists meaty cookbook.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,166 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    Of course it is a fake. Come on.

    Im reading a book at the moment called Black Out. Its about historians who travel back in time to observe The Blitz from a detatched academic viewpoint. They inadvertently alter history and may yet cause The Allies to lose the war. I thought this was fiction.
    However Churchill, Patton, Tensing, King George all appear and the book is based around historical events.
    So its possibly not a work of fiction?
    Bugger me!!!!

    Irony: She is fighting against "Dinosaurs" being a bad influence on children!

    How can you say the bible is a piece of fiction ?

    A 500 year-old man builds a big boat over a period of 100 years and stocks it with all of earth's land dwelling creatures and waits out a great flood.

    Sound reasonable?

    Think carefully! Your sanity depends on it!

    Why didn't the experts think of that duh! :rolleyes:

    What about Dinosaur Marriage ?

    I bet shes against that too the b*tch.

    My suggestion

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Actually when they found the iguanodon first they thought it had 4 legs and horns. There's a photo of it at the crystal palace exhibit in london and it's on all 4's rather than looking like this

    It's kinda like doing a jigsaw of a landscape but after a few wrong pieces are shoved in it looks like a picasso.

    They had the idea of dinosaurs before the first fossil was found?

    Definitely something going on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭valoren


    The infuriation could be summed up with the following exchange.
    It sums up what it's like to try to have an argument with brainwashed people.

    "If dinosaurs never existed, then why are there dinosaur-like fossils to be found deep in the ground??"

    "God put them there on purpose as a test of your faith"

    *rolls eyes and walks away*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    If this is really what she believes in, she needs a good kick up the backside.
    If its fake, she needs a good kick up the backside.

    Well. It's the little things really. Like walking on water, water into wine, rising from the dead etc., etc.
    It's unashamedly largely a book written to control the masses with a bit of factual history thrown in to make it all appear factual. If you genuinely believe a man walked on water and base your life and beliefs around this then I feel sorry for you.

    But it begins with a talking snake. Some merit in that surely?

    Id say its the water into wine that draws the Irish in. Great concept :D

    Doesn't she know that Jesus personally placed all the dinosaur fossils in the ground to test our faith?

    That's like saying inglorious basterds wasn't fiction because htiler existed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭SterlingArcher


    this is a quote from a medical professional.

    Dr. Robert Doback: When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur, I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world, I made my arms short and I roamed the back yard, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared, everybody knew me and was afraid of me, and one day my dad said "Bobby you are 17, it’s time to throw childish things aside" and I said "OK Pop", but he didn't really say that he said that "Stop being a ****ing dinosaur and get a job".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    I'd do her.

    Now back on topic.....


    Wasn't there a famous Catholic priest Dr Chardin who spearheaded modern paleontology and ancient species?


    Not sure where this whole dinosaurs never existed came about.


    Although I find it equally bizzare that some people believe dinosaurs and modern man lived side by side.

    I would say no. I prefer my women to be intelligent. And by intelligent I mean capable of basic logic.

    It's obvious the lady spent all her time in the fantastic breasts queue rather than the rational intelligence queue while waiting for God to grant her life. Good choice, tbf.

    All in all, i wouldn't say no, just have to find a way to stop her talking:)

    God is a bad influence on children and never existed.
    Scientific evidence is flimsy at best.

    I'd be happy to debunk the existence of her God using a diagram of her choking to death on a cup of plaster of Paris fragments despite her pleas to God to save her.
