why aren't Veeky Forums talking about this groundbreaking discovery? I heard about it first on /pol/ of all places... it's amazing we are literally seeing how the dinosaur looked, not just reconstructions and educated guesses
We don't gush about staggeringly cool things on Veeky Forums. We shitpost about how everything we love is terrible and everything we know is wrong.
Elijah Clark
Veeky Forums is more of a pissing contest than anything else. There's little to no science on this board.
Samuel Moore
> We shitpost about how everything we love is terrible and everything we know is wrong. I thought we just shitpost about how whitey is smarter than niggers.
Did we switch?
Kayden Myers
fucking low iq brainlet dinosaur

Obviously it was placed there by God to test us.

>did we switch? Yeah, in your dreams schlomo.

nice falseflag

le Dog says there were no dinosaures because le zombie stickman says the earth is 400 years old. republicans btfo Fuck you dad im free now \m/
Veeky Forums in a nutshell. So, what happened?
Jordan Mitchell
Amazing
Jason Lewis
it's just so cool that we are looking at how the dinosaur ACTUALLY looked those spikes, that armored skin, the shape of the head
Jaxon Allen
Veeky Forums here, that fossil could explain the myths about dragons in different civilizations.
Grayson Gutierrez
omg omg its just like in the movies!
Carter Russell
Not likely, how would ancient civilizations know about a fossil that has just now been uncovered?
Ryan Long
maybe they were hunted to extinction? History shows they were hunted as a rite of passage.
I'm willing to bet Unicorns were hunted to extinction also. Not truly magical unicorns, I mean large goats with 1 horn type unicorns that's used in "traditional" medicine like black rhino horn.
Dylan Thompson
maybe some learn to spit fire like the bombardier beetle. It's venom sacs in the mouth replaced with a similar organ to the insect.
Jacob Taylor
Where are the feathers? Dumb ""science"" idiots can't even be consistent with their own hoax....
Jason Powell
>groundbreaking discovery
So what happens next? It's very important to know stuff, but even more important is to understand how to capitalize any information to money
Cooper Sullivan
Pretty cool. I wonder what the crust has swallowed up that we will never get to see.
Christopher Watson
Proto-feathers are not actual feathers.
Leo Ortiz
>So what happens next?
Creationists use it as evidence for the "great flood" because apparently the dinosaur may have been washed out to sea and then sank and preserved.
Charles Sullivan
Oh you are talking about some micro-community-level phenomena. I thought there was some industry or service that could utilize this information.
I'll mentally label this to the "Academics" folder. It means "useless knowledge that is result from an useful process"
Gavin Reyes
>but even more important is to understand how to capitalize any information to money
Ahhh, no, not all science is done just to make money. What you suggest is of little importance in this particular case.
William Gray
looks like a big crocodile with large spiky scales
Hudson Bailey
Would it be possible to learn anything about pigmentation from this kind of fossil? Are there chemical signatures to let us know what these may have been colored like?
Luis Reyes
>maybe they (dinosaurs) were hunted to extinction?
the dinos that survived the extinction 65 million years ago were small and evolved into birds.
Landon Stewart
Feathered dinosaurs could have been brightly coloured, just like modern birds. As for a scaly dino like in OP's pic, possibly was dull coloured like modern Rhino's and Elephants.
>In a 2016 study, examination of melanosomes preserved in the specimen of Psittacosaurus sp. preserved with integument indicated that the animal was countershaded, likely due to preferring a habitat in dense forests with little light, much like many modern species of forest-dwelling deer and antelope; stripes and spots on the limbs may represent disruptive coloration. The specimen also had dense clusters of pigment on its shoulders, face (possibly for display), and cloaca (which may have had an antimicrobial function), as well as large patagia on its hind legs that connected to the base of the tail. Its large eyes indicate that it also likely had good vision, which would have been useful in finding food and/or avoiding predators.
Joseph Myers
are they gonna clone it?
Ryan Turner
DNA doesn't last that long.
Jordan Garcia
fuck you science
you aint worth shit dumbasses
Aaron Wilson
Not all is lost.
Chickens are dinosaurs, they have DNA relics from when they were dinosaurs in them. We can switch genes on or off to turn a chicken into a T-Rex. E.g. turn on the gene for claws and hands.
Nolan Cook
the state of Veeky Forums... there was literally a more informed discussion going on at /pol/
David Harris
Didn't they recently do something like that? Made chickens with teeth and snouts instead of beaks, but didn't hatch them because of muh ethics.

As a Christian bio-nerd, I refuse to believe this isn't some form of extremely subtle satire

Asher Thomas

Ryan Perez
oh my, a contradiction user will implode
Chase Clark
He either has to deny biology or deny the bible. The bibles teachings and biology are mutually exclusive and directly contradict each other in a myriad of ways. For instance, the origin of life and the origin of man. Believing in both is ludicrous and would create a dissonance
Ryan Martinez
OR (stay with me here) OR Christians should just accept the fact that the people who wrote the Bible had no idea about how the fuck species originate
you don't have interpret mythology literally in order to extract some truth to it Genesis is a creation account, but the message is to explain how Mankind is fallen and why the rest of the fucking religion is required
Gavin Thompson
So denial of the bible You cannot treat one section of the bible has being myth and the others as being divine, it simply does not work that way and if you treat it that way you are literally a heretic. You have to treat the entire work as being true others the entire thing is false. If god did not create the heavens and the earth in seven days than what else does god not do? So okay you can dismiss the creation story as being myth because we know it is clearly false, so how about the flood story? How about the plagues? Now how about the scriptures of jesus? How about revelations? What about the REINCARNATION of Jesus "And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain."- Corinthians 15:14 >so let's just treat it has philosophy instead >the bible teaches about the nature of mankind itself Except no one treats it that way when they go to a building every sunday and pray to a deity lmao The middle eastern christians certainly believe in the validity of god and his teaches as being 100% true and they kill each other because of the religion. Or even the Eastern Orthodox sect that blesses AKMs and BTRs before going into battle. The bible demands total belief and total submission to it and god as it is the word of GOD. And if you treat it as a myth, as a philosophy, as just teachings about mankind and his nature than you are no more a christian than someone how finds the nature of mankind in greek mythology is a pagan. Take that quasi christian shit out of here
Austin Brown
so by your logic everything is false or everything is true? emperor Augustus is mentioned in the Gospels, does that mean that he did not exist because you don't believe in the Bible?
you are being dumb the Bible is not ONE book, it is a compendium of texts, stretching thousands of years not every author wrote in the same style, and we ought to find out how they were to be read
worshiping the Book to the letter is only found in Protestantism and Islam
Nolan Harris
No you fool, just because you use historical events to give context to your god does not make your god anymore real. >wow you do not believe in Zeus >you must think the mount olympus is fake too! But the difference in what you are comparing is insurmountable >an emperor who lived is mentioned >gods creation of heaven and earth What you are comparing is teachings derived, historical events, and the acts of GOD itself. Disbelief in the acts of god is a disbelief in god itself in accordance with the bible. That is a pretty damn important part of the bible mate
Zachary Peterson
depends on if he keeps his theology and objective reasoning separate. Plenty of people do, but the few who don't make blogs about it and get reported on
Jose Adams
And that is what you call cognitive dissonance
Joseph Green
most of Veeky Forums literally believes this.
Jonathan Myers
okay, l'll explain myself better just for clarity: I am not a Christian, no really I am not I believe that Jesus is a historical figure, but I don't accept the resurrection, not the accounts of his deeds I don't even believe in a god so I am not defending Christianity per se, I'm just defending that a non-literal reading of the Bible is perfectly acceptable by a Christian
first, reading the Bible literally, with every sentence being a scientific fact, is a modern trend every school of Orthodox and Catholic tradition has had people devoting their lives to interpret the texts and communicate it to the masses they were very aware of the mythological framework form which the texts were written, and thus interpreted them in light of this
the point of Christianity is that Jesus fulfills Jewish prophecies, and when the Bible was compiled, they included Genesis because it sets up the fallen nature of Man, and why we need a saviour it was not added because it is a scientific account of exactly how the world was created and even if it was, the people who wrote it had no idea what evolution is
Genesis is obviously adapted from myths around the middle-east the Gospels were written and intended to be biographical texts you see? different texts, and different intentions so a Christian can read about Jesus literally, and still accept modern science
I'm guess you're American, where Protestant bible literalism is rampant that is not traditional Christianity
Asher White
This is the average intellect of your Veeky Forumsfag. They are literally this ignorant of basic natural history.
Jacob Cooper
>heresy is acceptable because others are also heretics Not believing in the literal meaning of the bible is, in accordance with bible itself, wrong. But hey, I guess since they are already ignoring the major parts like, gods creation of the heavens and earth, gods creation of man, gods various punishments of man, jesus rising from the dead, and many many others....what is one more thing to ignore, right? I really ponder what is the point of being a christian at all if you are just going to cherrypick things you like and dismiss everything else...oh wait lol
Luis Gray
I remember reading some Baxtor(?) sci-fi book about being able to look back in time (using micro wormholes). It showed what you could call and ebb and flow of life between planet-wide annihilation where only deep underground bacteria would survive to start evolving again. At least one of them had a huge sentient culture.
Jonathan Gray
There hasn't been a real christian in nearly 2 thousand years. >I fucking hate those gays and Abortion is WRONG >But I wont treat my body like a temple and instead become really fat >or I will perform sodomy >Or I will masturbate And of course they will make up a billion excuses why it's ok for THEM to not follow everything in the bible.

nigga u crazy?

So beautiful! For the first time ever in hamnity's history we have the chance to see how dinosaurs really looked like! Amazing! Too bad that cloning dinosaurs is just SciFi.
