A dude found some cool fossils and made up a story to explain it. Some other people are gullible and believed it.
Then, some dude who knew how to write thought, this story should be written down.
Then some guys 500 years later come along and
‘Dinosaurs in Medieval England disprove evolution?’

That also kind of sounds like a crocodile or alligator or something else of that description. Especially the “disappeared into reeds” part. A large, dinosaur sized creature probably won’t be well concealed, even in a marshland.

LOL the best part of it is the guy who’s posting the story and talking about the church drawing in Wissington posts some picture that is of a dinosaur that looks like it came out of Jurassic Park.
The real wall art in Wissington looks NOTHING like that. Feel free to Google it like I did, or look at the following link to see picture of the inside of the church and the dragon:
If dinosaurs came back now, they would be holding their head in disbelief.

I wrote a (very cheesy, terrible, still pretty funny to read) series of screenplays when I was like…. 12? 14? That was more or less a rip off of Andromeda (because that show wasn’t cheesy enough on its own). And my explanation for dragons was that it was time traveling aliens with kinda dragon-shaped spaceships.
This seems equally likely.

All of these ‘theories’ remind me of that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums. ‘Everyone knows that Custer died in the Battle of Little Bighorn, but what my book presupposes is… maybe he didn’t?’
ie, we have hundreds of years of archaeological research but what my facebook post presupposes is… maybe we don’t?

I think the gullibility of the human race disproves evolution.

That second one was found to be a croc someone imported for a ‘cool pet’. No one in the UK had ever seen one before.

More creationist bullshit. They only fall for it if they’ve already been indoctrinated in childhood and have swallowed the bait. Stay away from it, kids. It’s as bad for you as smoking and alcohol.

They called narwhals unicorns. Anyone who hadn’t seen one imagined a horse with a single horn at some point. No one was posting the narwhal on the internet, so they guessed what the description must have been.

Let’s just say dinosaurs did survive into the Middle Ages. How does that disprove evolution? It’d be like finding a coelacanth in the 1930s.
Of course, dinosaurs didn’t make it to the Middle Ages (alas)

“The discovery of more and more dinosaur soft tissue fossils”… aye, we’re tripping over those in the UK… and, even if we were, I don’t think that means what you think it means!

Yeah, well the picture is no good…the story actually says it was a flying dragon.

Love people who think that people back then had no idea about myth, metaphor, or story telling, nope they just wrote down everything in literal terms
