What annoys you about paleontology?; Rant on about moronic theories, complaints, or just animals that annoy you.

The fact that I can't Google pterosaurs without coming across David Peters skeletals!

IKR.

The last thing I want to see when searching for references is this:

In my opinion the worst is his Jeholopterus. I swear the Primeval anurognathids are more plausible than that thing!

Indeed. At least stuff like this is becoming more common:

Anyways, I hate how dinosaurs are shown as constantly fighting monsters rather than animals.

Dave, why the hell would Jeholopterus need all that sh** on its body?

Pull my finger!

I wonder if there is a way to block those odious David Peters pictures.

So it can look like a mutant-vampire-biped obviously. Don't be silly.

Pterosaurs aren't the only thing David Peters has weird ideas about. Take, for example, his tetrapod family tree:

When I was young, one of those said to me it's obvious they didn't exist, because dragons didn't exist.I still don't know was he plain stupid or just thought I would be afraid, if I discover they were real.

And about David Peters...This genetically engineered dragon is supposed to be pteranodon.

Ah yes those Zealots are very annoying, I mean in a game where one class is Zealot and can conquer worlds faster then yes love them, real life, um nope they are too pushy.

But yes one of them basically said "Your a idiot for think dinosaurs existed because there was no such thing as them, besides if they where (Enter boat builder here from a religious point of view) left because there giant killer lizards that were evil and (Anti to their religion)." I just looked at them deciding what to do smack them, or something else I chose else I said bluntly "How do you know (a) god exists and do not give me a religious bull answer now? Then if he(or they) created you the way he did, some sad pathetic fool who in a crisis will sit there praying to them and get killed by the crisis, and if a dinosaur never existed there why are their fossils all around us, why do birds exist if dinosaurs did not." Then they start ranting on their god and I said "I could not care at all, if there is a god I do not care enough to pray to him, if there is not then I still not praying to one. I believe in the natural world more than mankind's own mind, I trust animals near me more than some things like technology or a god to protect me."

Just to sum it up a R zealot came up to me and said I was fool to think dinosaurs never existed I told him a few questions such if how do you know your god exists. Then the person went onto ranting on how I was bad because I did not believe in their god nor did I say a god exists and I blandly said "I do not give a crap about a god because why would I pray to somebody to help me a little and do jack squat." Then I said I rather trust a animal's judgment in survival and keeping safe more than another being.

I remember this one guy who said dinosaurs never existed because it is unlikely we would find bones from them but not from other creatures of the same time! WTF?? Just what does he call pterosaurs, marine reptiles, mammals, and ammonites then???
