Dinosaurs Never Existed
Mindanao State University—Iligan Institute of Technology
Abstract.The
The world is dominated by different advancements in the world of science. One
of them is the breakthrough in the discovery of the dinosaurs’ existence. This
attracted the attention of every individual around the globe. But certain
researches reported that the findings about dinosaurs are false and such
creatures never really existed. This study aims to provide clarifications and
reasons to prove that dinosaurs never really existed. The outcome of this study
intends to clarify the qualms and queries about the existence of the dinosaurs.
The paper then explains that dinosaurs do not have the characteristics of an
animal that would probably live, that discoveries about these creatures are not
yet proven to be true and that discoveries about dinosaurs are inaccurate and
dubious.
Keywords: Dinosaur, Dinosaurs’ Body Structure, Dinosaurs’ Size, Dinosaurs’
Inexistence
1. Introduction
The
world today is influenced by the different discoveries of science done by
various scientists and other professionals exerting time and effort regarding
the study in their own fields. These discoveries embarked in the mind set of
each individual influencing their beliefs. Some of these discoveries are
controversial and debatable. They did not have many evidences to prove and
support the existence and truth behind them. But, the discoveries done by
scientist or even by the most professional ones, does not guarantee us the
credibility of their studies.
Scientists
and Palaeontologists keep on discovering new things. And for decades, they have
found numerous discoveries that are until now have not proven them yet; there
are also some discoveries that are not credible enough for us to believe. One
of theme is the discovery of the Mighty Dinosaurs. There have been alleged findings
that are believed to prove the existence of dinosaurs. According to Murdoch
(2012), North America, Belgium, Mongolia, Tanzania, Germany, Russia contained
the alleged fossils of dinosaurs. But this fossils found are not enough to
prove that they are dinosaurs. Wozney (2010) stated that scientist did not
conduct tests to prove them right. It has also been reported that “dinosaurs
DNA being discovered preserved in amber turned out to be false.”
The
study points out the fact that dinosaurs are ceased to never exist. The
existence of dinosaurs is just made up corporations or huge companies for huge
profit and fame. The concept of prehistoric living dinosaurs has been only a
fabrication during the nineteenth and twentieth century to pursue an
evolutionary agenda. The study will answer the following questions:
1.
Is the dinosaurs’ body
structure supports itself for survival?
2.
Does the body of the dinosaur well
proportioned for it to move?
3.
Does the climate of the areas
where the alleged fossils of these dinosaurs were found allow the creature to
live?
The significance of this
study is to provide enough evidences to prove that dinosaurs never really
existed. This contradicts the statements told and stated by the researcher of
the dinosaurs. This explains the query and doubts of the people regarding the
hot and debatable issue of dinosaurs really existed or not. Anyone who will be
able to read this study could clear their blurry minds about the existence of
the dinosaurs especially the students and some others who are interested in
studying dinosaurs’ existence.
2. Questionable displays of bones and fossils of the dinosaurs
According to Brauer (2010), dinosaur
is a “bunch of shattered bones held together by a couple of plaster sitting in
a museum display”.¶4
Many displays and drawings of dinosaurs appear to be an
absurdity, showing a two-legged animal that would totally off balance, with the
weight of head and abdomen much greater than the weight of tail, which is
supposed to act as a counter-balance”, (Woozney, 2010, ¶5). T-rex for example,
its head’s size measuring approximately 5 feet in length with massive skull
bones (Col, 1996, ¶5).
The bones being displayed at the museums could have been
mistaken from bones of other animals like crocodiles and alligators in which
their bones could grow huge enough to be assumed as dinosaur’s fossil
(Cristian, 2009, ¶4). It is possible that the bones of those animals got bent
into different shapes by the great weight of the dirt and rock above. They
could have easily used a whale bone to construct a larger dinosaur (Harry,
2009, ¶4). “Dinosaurs discoveries are bones of various animals mixed and
matched together to construct and create a new man-made concept of pre-historic
animal called dinosaur” (Brauer, 2013).
Bones found in certain areas must have undergone other
suspicious actions like tampering and replacement of bones.
Some dinosaurs bones on display have been artificially
modified through sculpture and carving. Bone sculpture is not an unknown
activity by humans. These dinosaur discoveries were made up and sponsored by
major companies for fame and money purposes.
Aside from the bones, there is also a report saying that
a dinosaur’s DNA that has been preserved in amber turned out to be false.
Nevertheless, there was no complete dinosaur’s skeleton found.
All the bones gathered by paleontologists and scientists,
being fossilized, are just bones of other animals such as crocodiles and alligators,
which definitely grow big measuring up to 40-foot-long
(12-meter-long) SuperCroc. (Dell’Amore, 2012).
3. Incompatibility
of Dinosaur’s body structure to live
Dinosaurs’ skeletal features are not
balance and compatible. The best example of that dinosaur is the Tyrannosaurus
Rex, also known as the T-rex. Its hand has been reduced into 4 and 5 digits, it
has three large toes, it has a backbone connecting through its tail and it has
a shoulder measuring 3 feet (1 meter) long. Having only two feet and three toes
to support its 5-7 tonsbody, it definitely crushes its own feet. It is
impossible for the T-rex to balance its body. There is also another species of
dinosaur which its body structure is also incompatible. Antarctosaurus, also
known as Giant Souther Titanosaur, measuring 20 feet tall, 59 feet in length
and weighing 90 000 pounds. Antarctosaurus also has a very long neck measuring
20 feet in length (Wikipedia, 2013, ¶5). Try to imagine straws connecting each
other, the longer it gets, the more it bends down because of the gravity.
Another thing is, this species of dinosaurs is an herbivore, a plant eating
animal, which is, it contradicts its own large body. Antarctosaurus is the
largest and the biggest among the dinosaurs and if this animal only eats
plants, it cannot supply all the nutrients it needs. Therefore, it can’t
survive and live.
There is also an article in which David Woozney (2010)
discussed, “a method called bio-mechanical analysis indicates that the
dinosaurs must have been agile, active creatures. But the idea of active
animals does not agree with the study of structural dynamics of dinosaurs,
which indicates that if the dinosaur moved fast, they would injure themselves.
This is the paradox between the dinosaurs’ size and life style.”
4. Unlikely
to live the wide range of climate on dinosaurs’ discovery areas
Paleontologist believed that
dinosaurs are closely related to the class reptilian for they have almost the
same characteristics. Thus, they are somehow considered to be under the same
class (Bozeman, 2010, ¶3). In a study conducted by Arthur Cristian (2009), he
discussed, “animals possessing the same characteristics with reptiles, such as
dinosaurs, could not survive the below freezing temperature. Brain tissues must
be kept at a temperature of about 100oF within a few degrees to
remain electronically and chemically active. If not, the brain tissue ceases to
function properly and coma and death would soon result.”(¶2). On another study,
reptiles that have been introduced to colder weather suffer during winter
season, so reptiles burrowed underground to preserve heat. Some of them are not
able to burrow through the thick snow and ice. These animals lose their heat to
support their internal organs thus they die (Kapian, 2013, ¶2). As an example
to this is the Everglades National Park incident. “The cold weather snap,
killed Iguanas and other reptiles. About half the Burmese Pythons found in the
park…Dead Iguanas have dropped from trees onto patios across South Florida”(Fleshler
& Huriash, 2010, ¶2).
Dinosaurs, on the other hand, with their weight ranging
from 100 to 1000 kg (220 to 2200 pounds), cannot be able to burrow underground.
They cannot even run fast. Jeananda Col (1996) explained that, “most of the
fossils of dinosaurs were located in North America countries like Mongolia,
Russia and Northern part of Africa” (¶8). Countries mentioned are experiencing
the below freezing point temperature almost all year round. Thus, it is
impossible to believe that dinosaurs once existed? Animals like dinosaurs
eventually falls asleep in cold temperature. And if the surrounding temperature
falls to 70 degrees, these animals would not be able to wake up (Cristian,
2009, ¶3). It is because there is nothing in their body to help regulate their
brains temperature during sleep. Unlike mammals, marsupials from flaming heat
to frigid blizzard snowstorm and still survive (Kaplan, 2000, ¶3). Dinosaurs
would not have a chance over that wide range of climate.
5. Conclusion
5.1 Summary of Findings
The
overall point of the term paper is all about the existence of the dinosaurs,
which their existence is all lie and they never existed. These are the proofs
that dinosaurs never existed: Credibility of the displays of bones and fossils
of the dinosaurs are questionable, body structures of dinosaurs presented by
paleontologists not agree with the study of structural dynamics of an animal in
order to live over the wide range of the Earth’s climate.
5.2 Conclusion
It has been concluded in this term paper, that dinosaurs
never really existed; that the bones are just mere sculptures or just the combination
of different animals and thought it was the fossil of a dinosaur or the worst,
scientists and paleontologists just made up all these dinosaurs for fame and
money. And to think that all the bones gathered are not complete and credible
enough for s species to live.
