"Dudes - this is all silly. According to my bible here dinosaurs never existed"You're Bibles wrong....Yes I could tell that was sarcasm... But honestly how the hell do people not believe in dinos? I hate conservatives...
Two problems with that lead:1. Science doesn't actually "know" what any dinosaur looked like (however we do know they existed)2. Unfortunately because of 1, we can only imagine and guess what they were like. That's the precise reason why scientists often find "new" dinosaurs, and discard old theories.
And I thought Jurassic Park 3 had just made the s**t up. If you've seen that movie, you'd know that there was a showdown between a T.Rex and the Spinosaurus. Long story short, the spinosaurus snapped the neck of the T. Rex. SPINOSAURUS RULES!
These dino experts are trying to visualise dino history based based on what they find in their digs. But what they find, is a very very very very very very very very small percentage of what actually existed during that time. Whatever hiSTORY they came up with is very very very very very inaccurate at best.
"What bugs me is how they call this history being re-written. Theorys and conceptual renderings do not = truth or fact."Then you must have a problem with ALL History since it is biased (written by the victor), incomplete (records are usually incomplete or extrapolated), and indirect (interpreted many years later by a person far removed from the incident). History relies upon conjecture, theory and debate. Rarely are facts NOT in dispute. History books have been rewritten my entire life multiple times to correct errors, omissions and new findings. This "History" is as good a History as any other. Voltaire is indeed correct because History is, by necessity, a story.
Maybe the biggest carnivorous dinosaur... but not the biggest carnivore. A Blue Whale eats krill - a type of shrimp. Shrimp are animals. Therefore the Blue Whale is a carnivore. And at 120ft and 190 tonnes, it is the biggest. Since marine fossils do not preserve very well, we can only speculate at what other, potentially larger, marine predators existed.

I have never seen an Ox with a "tail as a cedar." It helps NOT to take statements out of context.
