    So their proof is that ancient Chinese dragon depictions look like dinosaurs? Well, no shit Sherlock. Ancient people find a huge dinosaur skull fossil, of course they start making up dragons.

      It’s worse than that. Read the fine print.

      They claim that all Chinese pottery was built wrong. The article says (sic) “If you Photoshop the handles to reverse the head, it looks like a Triceratops instead of a classic Chinese dragon.”

      Seriously. The evidence they claim is that if you digitally alter the photo, it looks like a dinosaur.

    “If we digitally alter this thing then if you squint really hard and take these lead supplements for a few months then it maybe kinda looks like something else!”

      It’s hilarious that they come out right and say it.

      “If we Photoshop this vase, it looks like a dinosaur.”

    Yes, because dinosaurs and dragons shirley can’t be from imagination or stories. Please hand me a bible so I can wrap my arms around it.

    Fun fact: The Catholic Church, of all things, officially says the ‘let the earth bring forth’ bit of one of the bible’s two creation stories is a poetic way to reference evolution.

    It’s funny how about twenty years ago creationism was a big deal on the internet, but now the creationists are still doing their thing but the internet doesn’t care anymore.

    So true, and society back then used wireless devices to communicate, as we neither found copper nor fiber optic cables. And dinosaurs (or humans back then) were time trallelers, as almost no dinosaur or human was found in the same ground layers. See? Evidence, lotsa evidence!

    But if humans and dinosaurs lived together, then where are the dinosaurs now? Doesn’t this theory imply “things are as they always have been”, therefore God?

    I thought she was implying they’d found evidence of pottery made by dinosaurs and given to, and used by, people.
