Dinosaurs are a hoax.
Nobody ever said anything about giant lizards until 1841 yet somehow they are found by accident all over the world, sometimes just sticking up out of the ground, other times just barely below the grass in someone’s backyard.

It's not rocket science. Ancient Jews either weren't capable of understanding, or didn't need to know at the time, the intricate details of science. God making the world in 7 days is not meant to be literal.

God created the universe that we live in, and science only reveals further understanding of that universe.

Humani generis is an encyclical by Pope Pius XII that explains that there isn't a contradiction between evolution and the Catholic faith, and later John Paul II said "we basically know it's true now."

Or is that just what you want to believe because the idea that the masons that started a field that was 50% known fraud in the 1800s was really just 100% fraud, and that means they could lie about literally anything and you would never know?

Consider how many things about this world that we take for granted are dependent on just a few key organizations.
How many space organizations are there?
How many natural museums are there?
How many "mainstream" publishers are there?
Are they mainstream because they are authoritative or do we believe they are authoritative because they are mainstream?

Now consider what's a stake. How much money is there to be made on maintaining space, dinosaurs, and so on?
How much money would people stand to lose if 1970s images of Saturn were revealed to be paintings?
How hard would it be for "handshake" types to install themselves at the top of these few organizations and keep the key lies going?

>And it is also well known among the old Lithuanians—but this knowledge they probably derived from the rabbins—that the huge, long Dragon of the zodiac, which winds its starry coils over the sky, and which astronomers erroneously christen serpent, is not a serpent, but a fish, and is named Leviathan. Long ago it dwelt in the seas, but after the deluge it died for lack of water; hence on the vault of heaven, both as a curiosity and as a reminder, the angels hung up its dead remains. In the same way the priest of Mir has hung up in his church the ribs and shanks of giants that have been dug from the earth.[143]
>143 It was the custom to hang up in churches any fossil bones that might be discovered; the people regard them as the bones of giants.

Quick question, do you see anything like >>18329801 walking around nowadays? Anything at all? Do you ever see giraffes with two ton heads flying in the sky? Nah? Hmm. I mean, you’d think if a giraffe could evolve to fly, they would. You think they’d be just about an apex predator if they looked like one of these fuckers. Weird how nothing evolved post-(bullshit)-meteor to look anything like dinosaurs. Weird how everything WAS a giant killing machine, and now WE the actual killing machines are relatively smalls apes. Hmm. That’s just weird. OH MY BAD, I FORGOT THE SCIENCE — see — because it happened a long time ago it makes sense they were all DUMB and MEAN right? Nevermind “dinosaurs” were around for millions of years longer than any current animal or evolution of said current animal. Yet, they never evolved into anything intelligent. Nope, just BIG OL DUMB GIANT FLYING GIRAFFES and ANGRY BIG T REXESES! And that’s cause it was along time ago!
PAST = DUMB and MEAN
FUTURE = SMART and GOOD

ITS PROGRESS! Conveniently, all spiritual philosophies are located in the PAST and all TECHNO-FASCIST-BULLSHIT is located in the FUTURE. Hmm
