Is this a fault in science because atheists claims science as their own yet they don't believe in some areas of it...

I read somewhere that atheist don't believe that dinasaurs existed because of their theory that the stronger specie survives over the lesser one in account of the theory of evolution.

it's very odd because an aquaintance of mine who has the nick "agnostic_atheist" when ask about the existence of dinasaurs denied it. I don't have propaganda or goals or whatever you wanna call it, merely wondering therefore I ask...didn't mean to tick that nitwit brain of some here. So you believe there was once dinasaurs roaming the earth...OK. You didn't need to preach "duh". Thanks for honest answers...I appreciate it, now I can stop wondering.

im not 100% sure but...
An athiest would believe in an evolutionary perspective, which in evolution, dinosaurs just simply came before humans as part of this evolution.

Wow. Just wow.
Firstly, atheists don't 'claim' science as theirs, this is a fallacy. Because religion often opposes science (and opposes atheism) it then sees atheists using science to make an argument and thinks that atheism in some way is a 'religion' of science.
A very common assumption that a religious mind makes is that everyone else has to 'worship' or 'claim' something as it's own. Not everyone is an egotist who believes the world was 'created' for them.
I am an agnostic/atheist, I don't claim science is mine. When someone digs up a dinosaur bone I may think, 'Hey look, a dinosaur bone, I would like to know about it.'
Hope that answers your very odd question. It was the best I could do!

Archaeologists DON'T dig up dinosaurs!!!!!! We dig for ancient cities, and leave the dinosaurs to the paleontologists. At times we may come across a dinosaur or two, but seriously we are interested in the study of man and his culture, not dinosaurs.
Also, I have never heard that about atheists, not believing that dinosaurs once roamed the earth.

Um, I'm not an atheist but that's just not logical.
The theory goes that dinosaurs were wiped out because of an asteroid colision (probably) which changed the conditions on the earth and resulted in other creature better adapted to the change superseeded dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs are if anything evidence for evolution.

most atheists do believe that dinosaurs existed (I don't doubt there are some out there who disagree but they would be very few and far between).
Besides I've been to the Field Museum in Chicago and SEEN dinosaur bones (Sue the T-Rex).
Also we (by we I mean humans) currently think there was a catastrophic event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
I thought this was all very common knowledge. I question your schooling.
However now that you understand that atheists don't disbelieve in the existance of dinosaurs (how could we in face of all the physical evidence), you will see that your question is moot.

atheists do not believe in God and in any super natural existence. science has not so far discovered God. archeolgists dug up dinasaur bones but not any thing related to God. it is not understood which part of science the atheists do not believe. the branches like astrology, palmistry etc. can certainly not be called science.

what in the world are you talking about? I think you are trying to distort facts to achieve some strange goal of your.
Atheists agree with archaeologists and believe in dinosaur bones. Also since when did Atheists claim science as their own? We support science and agree with science.

i can form of accept as true with you. you have a solid think approximately the reality as to why have their in no way been bones dug up of an alien existence variety. at the beginning, whose to declare they have the comparable skeletal make up as us? they'd exist as jellyfish. ok, it incredibly is reaching. yet, no one ever claimed that extraterrestrial beings roamed the earth in the comparable great numbers because of the fact the dinosaurs. So does not they be greater durable to recuperate?................yet, I agree that there should be another form of existence obtainable with all the different galaxies in existence.

Atheists claim science as their own because its not about superstition or made up nonsense articles of faith. I don't think that should taint science in a religious mind, its just like claiming truth as our own. In fact, its almost the same thing.
What areas require 'belief' in the first place? You have some dinosaur find that contradicts evolution? Maybe it was found with a saddle with a human on top?
Oh and archaeologists tend to dig up things related to mankind. You're talking about palaeontologists.

What????
Are you saying Atheist don't believe in Dinosaurs?
Fossils are the BEST source for Evolutionary Data and are the biggest problem Creationists have in overcoming arguments against Evolution!!
