Maybe. They found some bones but they only speculate what they were.
I have seen some posters claim that God made the earth with the bones in the soil and the creatures never realy existed. Is that what you are saying? Otherwise I fail to see how you can say 'maybe'.

Originally posted by checkbaiterHave you seen the bones? There really isn't that much speculation needed. Sure they speculate about what colour their skin might have been and probably get it wrong, but how big they were is hardly speculation given the size of the bones. I would be curious as to what else about them you think scientists just 'speculated'. Perhaps you think that despite its big teeth, it is just speculation that Tyrannosaurus Rex was a carnivore?

Your comments were simple, I agree, but they were not clear.
'Dinosoars' is the general name of the creatures whatever they were, so one can hardly say 'maybe' they existed. Clearly they did exist.
Originally posted by twhiteheadClearly the bones are around. That much we can directly observe.

The rest is speculation which may or may not be true.
