God created the dinosaurs and 2 of them are mentioned in the bible...the Leviathan and the Behemoth.....large creatures in the book of Job which is said to be written before Genesis and before the flood and that Noah took it on the boat with Him....After the flood we can see that many of the sea creatures survived, the largest mammal is a whale. They are dino sized even today. - http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/2.asp

Just because your museum isn't displaying them, doesn't mean that the bones haven't been found.
Dino bones prove evolution, smartass. By using them, you can illustrate an evolutionary change from dinosaurs to modern reptiles and birds. But that's not your point is it?
You make a statement about how interesting it is that they keep finding dino bones, but no caveman, or neanderthal bones. The dino bones being found are new finds...illustrating things from social structure within dino packs and the like. They don't publicize every prehistoric man's bones because they're not new finds. They've already found them, tested them, and presented their findings to the world. When the church was shown this they said that "it just wasn't good enough, there's a gap you can't explain. I can't see it, so you must be wrong." Kinda ironic coming from people with invisible intangible mute and odorless overlords.
Recently we found that a species of bird on the Galapogos Islands evolved within the last hundred years. The size and shape of its beak changed in order to help it compete for food. Instead of giving the evidence merit, it was poo-pooed off as being micro evolution...not macro-evolution. What? Change on a genetic level is still change. It doesn't matter if the change wasn't of miracle proportions.
Within the last 4 decades, we've had bacteria and virii evolve to be stronger than the medicines we've created to combat them. We've done dna tests on other primates and determined that in some cases we share over 90% of the same dna. We have proven evolution in other species throughout nature. It's nothing more than putting your head in the sand to make a statement that "god did it..."

Atheists don't believe in a personal god but it doesn't mean they don't believe in a Supreme Being or a Divine principle. Scientist aren't out to disprove the existence of God but are there to gather whatever evidence the can on the theories brought up by the scientific community. A lot of scientists actually believe in God or a divine principle.
As for evolution, it seems to hit closer to reality than the form of instant creation that most people seems to take out of the scripture. Dino bones don't prove evolution, they prove at most that there were dinos once upon a time. Though your existence does prove a lot of evolution, since you started out as two microbes being an egg and a sperm and in nine months those transformed through identifiable stages into the human being you are today. There is a good chance even that God ignited evolution.

well dino bones dont prove it
im an athiest but eh....doesnt prove much to me
some things do make sence. Such as this one breed of butterfly that was brown or something. As the air around it became nastified and ashes were everywhere....birds were more able to see a color so some adapted and turned grey.
I dont totally believe in evolution....just adaptation. God cavemen....we didnt come from cavemen. We probably have for w/e reason....started having little hair. As now furry wolf people are not a dominant gene.
We probably were of some ape relation but not cavemen lol. Maybe sea ppl or sumthin.....which explains the little hair and lots of hair on the head.
Not like god just zapped two people here. Otherwise thats inbreeding and we wud all be dead.

You went to college, right? You studied comparative religion? You know that atheists aren't disproving a god's existence using dino bones!!
Dino bones prove there were dinosaurs. They prove that, in a trillion to one chance, a dinosaur died in the right location for its body to be fossilised. Dino fossils that have been found represent less than 1% of the dinos that actually lived.
The same goes for human bones. Factor in the theory that primitive societies had a ritualistic way of disposing of bodies and the search for human remains gets very complicated.
Out of interest - where are the bones of the people who existed in(and therefore validate) the bible?

Does America still have public education?
If so, do they ever teach science courses?
Or social science courses, like anthropology?
Ever watch the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the National Geographic Channel or (the soon to be cancelled) PBS?
You are amazed by what atheists and scientists are trying to prove and disprove? I am terrifed by what you really appear to have no clue about, but claim to have knowledge of and experience with.
I'd show you the bones - lots of them. But you'd probably not believe me anyways, so why bother?
But just in case ... since you are allegedly into Museums of Natural History, check this out from the Smithsonian Institute http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ , especially The Hall of Human Ancestors http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/ances_start.html
and this one from the American Museum of Natural History http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/darwin/?src=h_h
And what do dinosaurs have to do with prehistoric humans? In case you didn't know (and you obviously don't), dinosaurs went extinct long before hominids roamed the planet.
I don't think anyone has to disprove anything. At this rate, I don't think that our species will last much longer.

so your god for his existence requires the absence of cavemen bones, ok????? (all true and educated Christians must be embarrased now) So what happens to your belief if you go to another museum and you actually see them?? From what you said in your post it almost looks as if part of your "religious" belie is that there are no such bones...LOL
because of course there are fossiles of cavemen (and of prehistoric men that indeed dont resemble todays human much - the Australopithecus, for instance, look up the fossiles!) - who told you there are not???? Never been in any other natural history museum?? or have those, who think that evolution is against Bible, banned the bones from display in your museum? or why you never tried internet search to find pictures of cavemen bones?? it would be easy IF YOU WANTED TO. but you obviously didint try, did you?
God´s existence has nothing to do with evolution. People who speak against evolution are mostly not much educated in biology (LIKE YOU being one of them, because you should have known that plenty of fossiles are available, this is elementary school). Darwin, the founder of the evolution idea, was a deeply devout Christian (He wanted to be a priest, actually) and nevr had a problem or a faith crisis due to his findings on evolution. How could this be if evolution was against God or Bible??? He only had troubles with dumb people who werent able to grasp the fact that species change and humans are a species of mammals.
to this type of Christians who got the idea that they are obliged to be against evolution in order to remain Christian: the Earth was once supposed to be flat with the Sun going round it , clergy burned several people at stake for saying that it is round and goes round the Sun. now the history is repeating with evolution, only i hope nobody will get burned at stake!!

First, I'd like to say that scientists and Atheists don't set out finding bones just to disprove your god's existence. You aren't that special. They just want to find an alternative answer to the question of how did the earth begin.
Second, I'd like to mention that bones of early man have been found, though you're unlikely to believe that, since you seem kind of creepy.

First of all they have found human remains (skulls) in Kibish, Ehtiopia in 1967. These skulls wre dated at that time to be 130,000 years old. Now the are estimated to be near 200,000 years old. These skulls are different yet similar to the average present day humans skull. Even if you don't believe the dating, the idea that humans have not adapted to changes in climate and circumstances is crazy. Plus, Dino bones never proved human evolution, they proved reptile evolution. It is mammals and primate bones that prove human evolution. So therefore your entire question is void.

Here a point that I think, finding bones proves nothing. If you believe God and the Bible as his word. He created Adam and Eve as adults and not as infants. He created a universe that is an adult universe not an infant universe, that had to go thought millions of years from its origin to now. He could have easily created an earth with bones at day one, without the animal of the bones actually to have lived. Gods creation is for our benefit to learn of how amazing He is. By biblical scholars accounts the estimated time of creation is about 12,000 years ago. Just my thoughts on the subject. God Bless.
