Excellent observations as always! What are you doing here on steem? Not on hive? Or blurt?

I've seen that image you mention of the cowboys with the pterodactyl and what you say about dinosaurs being dragons makes a lot of sense now I'm thinking about it.

4 times we have been nearly wiped out.

Prior occasions included intense heat, leaving behind melted buildings we now call mountains.

To me, the stories of dinosaurs and Darwin were created to make us forget where we really came from. The entire "ages" of our planet, completely made up, and have no bearing on reality. But it has formed the minds of most scientists.

Couldn't have put it better myself!
