Has a COMPLETE mummified Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus,

The quote in and of itself isn't fundy. It's the same any nine-year-old might ask if you let them ask questions without restraining them.
It's when you read the site to put it in context that you have to hang your head and sigh.
At first, these are all valid questions, worthy of consideration and compassionate answers. Much as a parent would treat questions asked by their offspring.
However, when taken in the context provided at endtimeprophecy.net, these questions take on a childish, mocking tone that gives the reader pause. These idiots don't want an honest answer; they want to push their ignorant agenda.
And I don't think dinosaurs practiced mummification. I could be wrong, though.
It's really simple. Genesis is a fairy tale and it serves to discredit anything that might seem to be a little bit realistic in the rest of the Buybull. If you Believe a single word of it? YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED!
(Sorry for quoting Lush Rimjob among civilized people.)
You mean fossilized, not mummified.
There is such a thing as natural mummification, but it would be nearly impossible on a creature the size of most dinosaurs, and would have lost effectiveness over time, leading to much the same result as any other process that fossils were created by.
Big skeleton, big skull. Anything that isn't in within a certain threshold of proportions would die off very quickly, unless a new trait was developed to compensate it.
Oh yeah as for dino mummy, here is Dakota.

Hey, dumbass, you do realize mummifying a body requires someone to perform the operations and preserving, right?
I'd like to know how you think the skeletons are found, honestly. Sounds like you think they dig into a mass grave and start playing match by number with the bones
For an example of Creationist 'palaeontology' check out 'Ezekiel' the 'Edmontosaurus'
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CC/CC214_2.html
Discovered 'with its magnificent crest intact'? No Edmontosaurus ever had a crest! Absolute incompetence.
@ Tykittää,Megalodon ?
When was the last time you saw one of these walking around? The head is about the size of a large refrigerator.

T Rex skeletons have been found 85% complete, and the parts that are missing are readily seen on one or another of the 30 known skeletons of the same type.
Some of them did have what we would consider to be disproportionately small heads, but even that makes sense if you know a little bit about their physiology. It takes time for signals to travel down nerve axons. It's not enough time to really matter for us, but when you have a body the size of an apatosaurus, it can start to matter. If every signal had to go all the way from the point of stimulus, up to the brain, and down to the limbs, the reaction time wouldn't be as ideal as it could be. So they evolved ganglia on their spinal cords to handle more information processing than ours do (our spinal cords do far more than people realize, but that's another story). Some people have even proposed that we should consider these ganglia to be like miniature auxiliary brains, though this framing is not universally accepted. Since more functioning was taken over by their spinal cords, that left less for the brain to handle, and thus the brain could be a fair bit smaller than they would otherwise need to be. Add to this that herbivores can get away with being pretty stupid in many cases, and it's not surprising at all that some had itty bitty brains.
Yes. A mummified dinosaur is on display at the North Carolina Mueseum of Natural History. It's perfectly preserved heart has solidified the paradigm shift that dinosaurs were active warm blooded animals.
@Tykittää: That's not a dinosaur. It's a shark.
I don't think hanky-panky means what you think it means...
And amazingly, mummified dinosaur skin has been found. Too bad the odds of ever finding a full mummified dinosaur that's somehow managed to stay intact for at least 65 million years is incredibly remote.
(Note: I am a college student pursuing a paleontology career)
To answer this guy's specific question,, that would be Pentaceratops. Specifically the one seen here.image
This website is weird. I'm hoping to find a disclaimer stating that it's satirical, because it almost seems to be.
The writer goes by the pseudonym "The WordWeaver". From his biography:
"Contrary to what some people may possibly be led to believe, the WordWeaver is a man of scant education."
Yep.

No. Because they're fossilized, not mummified shit-for-brains.
these so-called dinosaurs had such massive bodies, yet such
Oh hell, just look in a mirror.
Well, actually, the skulls of Tyrannosaurs, Stegosaurs, and Apatosaurs have all been found and are all pretty large. None can be matched to living animals.
Also, their heads were reasonably scaled to the rest of their bodies; their brains weren't.
The T-Rex had a fairly large head, and the mammoth was a big-headed animal. I bet there were whales that had huge heads also.
Crocodiles have tiny brains, and Komodo dragons. The brain of an emu or an ostrich is not large either. Those are all probable descendants of the dinosaurs.
The Neanderthals had larger brains than us. They still went extinct.
Now that they mention it, and not to give more ideas to this evolutionist non-literalist Christian, I know that some of the mythological creatures were based on the bones of the dinosaurs which occasionally were unearthed during the past.
It seems a bit odd to me that some of these fundamentalist Christians have such tiny brains...
No, actually in fact it's not odd at all.
Has a COMPLETE brain of a Baptist, Methodist, or any other fundamentalist faith ever been found intact anywhere? I would really like to hear about it...especially if it is a complete brain with the real head still attached! It just seems a bit odd to me that some of these so-called fundamentalists had such certain beliefs, yet such tiny brains! It makes me wonder if maybe there isn't a little bit of hanky-panky going on here.
Mummification was not around during the time of the dinosaurs. In fact, I'd say that creationists should provide a mummified dinosaur (we've found mummified animals - cats, for example) to prove their theory.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
