Science Sunday: Dinosaurs are (and were) Real
August 22, 2010
I’ve had a pretty fun summer.
Early in the summer, I met a man who believed that most everything in science is a conspiracy against his religion.
I’m not familiar with the beef between him and tens of thousands of scientists all of the world who don’t know him or his religion, but he was certain that the fossils I claimed to have seen in museums must be fakes. He was especially certain of this when the fossils were of early hominids.
I invited him to come to one museum so that he could see them for himself.
He wasn’t interested.
Here are a few pictures of fossils at The Field Museum. I didn’t take many. I really wish I could have captured a shot of the Giant Sloth skeleton. It is standing up with its front paws on a tree; it’s about 2 & 1/2 stories tall.
I always get an astounding feeling when I walk into a few of the exhibits at The Field Museum. You step into a room and it is full of the fossilized skeletons of dinosaurs you have never even heard of before.
I highly recommend it.
