I was in a science class in 9th grade with a girl who had previously been in religious schools for most of her life. One day, the class randomly started talking about dinosaurs. You could see this girl becoming increasingly confused until she finally blurted out "Wait, dinosaurs are real??" She then quickly asked if dragons were real, genuinely hungry for knowledge and questioning life. That girl left class that day very, very confused.

Edit: I just wanted to add that the girl didn't think that fossils were put in the ground by the devil or a trick from god or anything like that. She had been taught that dinosaurs were 'mythical beasts' and that all of the bones in the museums were manmade and fake. Thus, her also asking if dragons were real as well.

Anybody who is not an idiot knows that dinosaurs aren't real and that the devil only put their bones on earth to trick us.

This is exactly why people think Christans are crazy. Because of these shitheads.

That is sad... Those religious schools the girl is probably a good example of this.

The Bible itself clearly tells of the existence of dinosaurs..

Job 40:15-24 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Which describes the brontosaurus.
