What subject?

Hoaxes of course, just like the moon landings!

Geology/biology. History is about people, dinosaurs are not people.

there should be a subject called 'awesome studies' which compromises mainly of dinosaurs, sharks, deep sea creatures, space stuff, and using your imagination to create things that make other people happy.

History is about people, dinosaurs are not people.

but what about the people who hunted dinosaurs?

Digging

Philconsequence is spot on- Awesomeology

History is about people, dinosaurs are not people.

Isn't History about events?

I thought history was about stuff that happened in the past.

Bible Studies.

history is stuff that happened in the past. so long as it has been recorded by mankind. so some humans are prehistoric. not recorded etc.

That's some waffle right there.

This will tell you all you need to know:

If you're a swivel-eyed, foil-hatted God botherer.

it has to be recorded events. you got me drac that was barely a sentence.

That's some waffle right there

Romans recording (i.e. writing down) their thoughts about the Iron Age societies they encountered = History.

A whole bunch of stuff beforehand that didn't get documented = Prehistory.

From the way I gather is Prehistory is just another category within History, History is the study of past events.

😀

Awesomeology for awesome dinosaurs.

Not-quite-awesomeology for the dinosaurs that your kids skip past in the museum as soon as they spot the T-Rex skeleton on wires.

An outrageous view. 😀

Ah well maybe I'm an outrageous waffler.

but what about the people who hunted dinosaurs?

flintstones, fictitious. you're yanking my crank?

Ah well maybe I'm an outrageous waffler.

Your waffle needs moderating, mod.

History is about people, dinosaurs are not people.

but what about the people who hunted dinosaurs?

That's Postlethwaitology. Totally different.

I've just read that Conservapedia link.

There are not enough facepalm pictures in the world to convey my sense of despair at the general stupidity on display there.

Yes, thanks for Conservapedia. Is it like "The Onion" for god-botherers? I mean -

[i]Creation science shows that dinosaurs lived in harmony with other animals, (probably including in the Garden of Eden) eating only plants[4]; that pairs of each dinosaur kind were taken onto Noah's Ark during the Great Flood and were preserved from drowning[/i]

Shirly not sherioush?

That really is some funny shit
http://conservapedia.com/Evolutionists_who_have_had_problems_with_being_overweight_and/or_obese

Uh-huh - [i]Given that medical science research indicates that being overweight causes brain impairment and that Daniel Dennett has had issues with being overweight, it is ironic that Dennet's book Consciousness Explained is beloved by those who deny God[/i]

so are dinsoaurs now an accepted part of the bible... jesus rode into nazareth and came across a brontosaurus with a thorn in its paw bill hicks stylee?

dinosaurs did NOT live in harmony with goats. i've watched jurassic park you know.

Isn't History about events?

*laughing at the irony of Mod posting this!!*

It's palaeontology of course. Or possibly ornithology. Certainly not biology, there ain't no living dinosaurs, well, apart from some politicians.

How old are you again, CZ? 😉

Thanks to CountZero and his post yesterday [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/conservapedia ], here, [/url]for highlighting Conservapedia.

It's definitely meant to be serious, but some naughty people have been enhancing certain pages.

Have a look at the genuine Wiki entry for Conservapedia for more info:

Crocodiles are still dinosuars. And them wierd sharks are.

. And them wierd sharks are.

There are loads of living dinosaurs:

It's Palaeontology by the way, studied at university on Geology courses so I suppose it's a branch of that.

Sharktopus was on the Sci-Fi channel the other day.

It was so bad, it went full circle to being great, and carried right on round to bad again.

Loving the Conservapedia stuff.

I can't figure out whether they are actually serious or whether its a work of twisted genuis by the "Evolotionists"

I would file them under lowest common denominator tourist attractions for the unruly spawn of chavs, if we had a DDC subject heading for that.

But I think the Dewey people want them under Paeleontology, so will have to go with that.

P.S I think there might be another e in Paeleontology but I am not quite sure where.

And anyway, there is a museum that says there were dinosaurs in biblical times, so it must be true:
