Oops! The Brontosaurus Never Even Existed: https://www.npr.org/2012/12/09/166665795/forget-extinct-the-brontosaurus-never-even-existed
Another Dinosaur That May Have Never Existed: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-biggest-dinosaur-in-history-may-never-have-existed/
I saw a blurb of people a few years ago claiming that dinosaurs never existed - one other problem they brought up is that a full skeleton of a dinosaur has never been found, which was only coincidentally found last year allegedly (after people were complaining about a full model not having been found): https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidbressan/2020/08/28/150-years-after-its-discovery-the-first-complete-dinosaur-skeleton-ever-found-has-finally-been-studied-in-detail/
Some other issues brought up:
Dinosaur bones only apparently started being found in the 19th century coincidentally around the time the theory of evolution was being promoted
A lot of the models on display allegedly in museums are reconstructions and plasters, with the actual bones being kept archived
According to this link: https://www.quora.com/How-many-dinosaur-fossils-have-humans-found
"only about 3,000 full dinosaur skeletons or skulls in museums [in the U.S.], and only about 12,000 total discovered around the world."

What do you think of dinosaurs and our current understanding of them?
I think they are a sci-fi distraction created to keep us occupied in a made up narrative. Same with the globe earth it would appear. I laughed at flat earthers a few months ago. But after researching like I did with covid on the topic, geometry proves the earth is flat. I myself can prove with known and true processes the earth measures as a flat plane but pictures and education curriculum say otherwise with nothing that truly proves a globe earth.It all fits the cabal have lied to us for centuries theme that covid brought to light for me. Dinosaurs seem to be the same like you have alluded to with them conveniently being discovered shortly after they were imagined by someone. The Bible doesn’t mention dinosaurs specifically(correct me if I’m wrong) so it’s just another thing to try to lead people away from the truth of the Bible. Another thing to think about is who discovers dinosaur bones. Is it mostly archeologists or do people who excavate areas of earth naturally find them?
The bible mentions Leviathan - basically a giant sea creature / dinosaur of the sea. Also, Isaiah 40 describes the earth as a globe / sphere.
Behemoth too...a giant saurian likely.
I trust the whole fossils that have been found. All the random things that look weird that illustrators design... not so much.
