Question

I was listening to the radio and i heard that there was a baby t-rex found in the congo, lol. is this some kind of april fools joke?

Answer 1

Stand by for audience reaction . . . and George Noory's.

Answer 2

Well happy April 1st... They got me to.  I searched many sites looking for "the story" ... May your day be filled with laughter and smiles as you try to spot the many April Foolers!

Answer 3

Yuppers!  George Noory and friends had a fun time pulling our legs and ears with a fabulous April Fool's joke.  Pass the mosquito in the amber this-a-way, please.  I would like to take another bite of tomfoolery for fun!  Just keep that T-Rex out of my backyard - - he would eat too much!

Answer 4

If there's proof, then it's real. Search first for clues.

Answer 5

George Noory must be a good actor, because I 'm sure he was not fooled!

Answer 6

I was listening and heard the same thing. Are you listening to Coast to Coast radio?

Seems like it's fake to me, if there really was a t-rex then why would that professor that was interviewed come on some late night radio show first? It's probably a hoax.

And if it's an april foals joke then they're ****** idiots because it's april 2nd now.

On another note, today my dad woke me up and asked me how I was going to replace the flat tire I put in his car the night before. It scared me because I hit a pot hole the night before but didn't think there was any damage. I went down to look at the car and saw he was playing an April fools joke on me. :( Wasn't a fun way to wake up.

Answer 7

I'm so excited, looking for pics on the internet, but not finding any!  However, I forgot it was April Fools day. So, now I'm really bummed out now.

Answer 8

Great april fool jokes taday heheheh ,,,,,,,,,

Answer 9

I'm guessing they mean a fossil of one.

Answer 10

Absolutely!  April Fool's you fools!! Like P.T. Barnum said, A sucker is born every minute!

Answer 11

This story was ridiculous. My mom told me about it and got me listening to the stupid radio. I'm never going to believe another thing this station reports ever again. I didn't hear them say "April Fools" though, but some of you are saying they did, so whatever.

Answer 12

I heard that story too ... on "Coast to Coast" with George Norrie.

The "professor" who supposedly found this creature didn't sound very credible. Most likely an April Fools joke.

Answer 13

Coast to Coast Radio with George Noorey

Was a baby Tyrannosaurus rex discovered in the African Congo? During the first hour, a 'Prof. Jonathan Campbell' phoned in to share details of the creature's capture. Then cryptohunter John Rhodes reacted to the breaking news, commenting that we'd need further confirmation of the facts.  At the end of the hour, George revealed that the T-Rex story was an April Fool's joke!

Answer 14

Yes right next to the Noah' ark. lol. Maybe its true, but can you honestly think that the Congo which isn't very stable and has a few landmines scattered about is a good place for an archaeological dig. I might have to eat my hat later, but I couldn't find any news on this.

Answer 15

I'm listening to the radio too. My guess is that it's an April Fool's Day joke... disappointing!

Answer 16

While I was a tad shocked that they found a living dinosaur, I didn't have difficulty believing it.  Of course, I forgot it was April Fools day, having heard this late into the night AFTER the fun of fools had gone past.  But while I dismiss most of what Coast-To-Coast presents as hoaxes and conspiracy-theory paranoia, I do give them credence in the same way I would the supermarket checkout isle paper like the Weekly World News.  For 99% of the time, they are going to promote and publish sensasionalism and ridiculous articles that you might glance at while bored in the checkout aisle.  But once in a blue moon, they get wind of something with a bit of legitimate credence.

Anyway, while I don't believe in extra-terrestrial life, and while I don't believe in any form of sentient or even semi-sentient life on earth apart from humanity, I do believe that dinosaurs in general are absolutely not extinct.  For me, it is a logical conclusion based on my interpretation of the Bible as a historically accurate book which, aside from the theology and religious wisdom, has been proven countless times by external methods through archaeology, social science, astronomy, chemistry, mathematics and even physics.  And with all of the great proof of the Bible by external means on which we can measure, I find it wise to trust the Bible on things which we can't measure.  And among these are the specific timeline of history and a recording of several varieties of dinosaurs listed in the Bible.

The Bible, when taken literally, dates all of history back approximately 6000 years.  While various dating methods conflict with this, they don't account for the changes in atmospheric isotope conditions that would occur with a world-wide flood.  If they had, many of these methods would agree with the Bible in determining the age of the earth.  Of course there are a few dating methods out there that can never be reconciled, but these use baseless and wild assumptions that the universe is billions of years old, anyway.

That dinosaurs and man roamed the earth simultaneously is of no doubt to me.  That they still do, seems likely.  Of course, species die out, and some dinosaurs have gone extinct.  But over the past several thousand years, man has hunted many other species into near-extinction and has driven them to areas where future interaction between man and dinosaur becomes nearly impossible.  So we forgot about them.  Then, modern arcaelogists start digging up the bones of these creatures and, while unable to reconcile these against known taxodermic classifications, start inventing wild theories that these bones must have belonged to some fantastic and incredibly ancient creatures that must have been extinct because we can't find any live ones now.

Determining, fallaciously, that dinosaurs are extinct, some scientists, of whom many were morally debased and seeking any means by which to disprove both God and the Bible, decided to invent a theory that these creatures lived so long ago, that they predate even the Bible and therefore the Bible is wrong and therefore God doesn't exist.  Then they start inventing methodologies that catalogue the earth and the things in it in such a way as to create dating data that is deliberately biased towards extremely ancient interpretations.  In other words, by finding evidence of the unknown, they create a theory that deliberately dis-includes God, and they use this theory (old-earth) as a basis for many other theories such as evolution, the big bang, apocalyptic die-offs, etc.  These are, therefore, very baseless theories.

If one assumes the accuracy of the Bible, all of the sciences and all of nature and all of society and all of recorded history (apart from the Bible) fall into place and are organized very logically.  If you believe the Bible, then when you see the structure of the Grand Canyon, you don't see a canyon carved uphill by a tiny river for millions of years, you see a massive break in an even larger d**e against a remnant of the Noaic flood in the form of a massive lake (some believe a trio of, slightly-less massive, giant lakes) in the Colorodo river headwaters basin.  When the Kiabab Uplift (the plataeu through which the Grand Canyon divides) sprung a leak, the waters behind started carving out the canyon.  Even the old-earth theorists can't reconcile why the canyon has such steep walls without a much stronger erosion along the rim.  Nor can they reconcile this against the snake-like shape of the canyon as it is carved through the plataeu.  Nor can they adequately explain the incredible side canyons of the main system.  Nor can they reconcile the most crucial ploblem, that the colorodo river would otherwise have had to flow uphill several thousand feet before carving out the canyon.  However, if scientists take flooding into account, and test the canyon against known flood behavior, then they would see that Noah's Flood must have been a real event.

When a very large and very wide d**e ruptures, the first thing you will notice is that the water doesn't always flow straight through, it usually carves out a snake-like pattern and does so with very deep and very steep walls.  This would explain the form of the Grand Canyon.  But don't stop there, you need to consider a real-world example of a very large flood combined with a d**e break.  There is a wonderful outdoor laboratory called Mt. St. Helens in Washington.  When this volcano erupted in 1980, it sent a great deluge of materials and melted snow into the Toutle river.  The vast accumulation of materials created a dam down-stream of the Toutle.  As more water started to build up in the Toutle while being dammed into a great lake, pressure built up on this dam.  Ultimately, an even greater amount of water and effluence burst through the dam.  When it did, and it finally passed, and the volcano calmed down a little, the Toutle returned to its normal status as a small river.  But the area through which this great event occurred, now looks like a smaller version of the Grand Canyon.  It has steep walls, it has very little erosion around the rim, and it snakes.

Here's the funny thing about the Grand Canyon of the Toutle River by Mt. St. Helens.  If an old-earth scientist were to look at this twenty-eight-year-old canyon and not know of Mt. St. Helens and the history of this canyon, he or she would assume it was formed over many thousands of years by the Toutle river...and I am being generous with the term river as it is barely even a creek.  So what does this have to do with dinosaurs found alive?

Now this next part is a shortened version of the obvious links and foundationals through which I won't take the time here to ellaborate upon, but give a short summary:

i.) The Bible is assumed to be accurate based on reliable external proofs.

ii.) The Bible records that at least two of EVERY kind of animal boarded the Ark and survived the world-wide flood of Noah's time.

1.) The Grand Canyon example is proof that the earth is less than 10 millenia old.

2.) Therefore, dinosaurs couldn't have existed millions and billions of years ago.

3.) Therefore, man and dinosaur must have walked the earth during the same era.

4a.) Therefore, man and dinosaur probably interacted.

4b.) Therefore, man and dinosaur definately did interact, at least on the Ark.

5.) Therefore, man and dinosaur roamed the earth simulatenously after the flood.

6.) The world-wide flood occurred about 4400 years ago.

7.) Therefore dinosaurs roamed the earth at least as recently as 4400 years ago.

8.) Most of the ancient cultures recorded actions, events, and stories about strange creatures such as dragons, gigantic featherless flying birds, great scaly beasts of burden, and many other similar accounts accross other cultures.

9.) Therefore, man has continuously interacted with many varieties of dinosaurs over thousands of years since the flood, even recording frequently and consistently up to only a few hundred years ago.

10.)  Many of these creatures were not known as "dinosaurs" until very recently (they were typically called dragons, to use the English word).

11.) Sightings become more and more infrequent as to become legends and myth.

12.) The number of sightings of the Loch-Ness Monster, for example, increased only after a major highway was constructed adjacent to the loch for which this beast is named.

13.) Many pictures and films, some of which cannot be dismissed as hoaxes, exist to prove to those who haven't seen directly, that the Loch-Noss Monster is real.

14.) There have been many similar sightings of both fresh-water and salt-water versions of this creature found world-wide.

15.) There have also been several known corpses found of these such as the one drug up in 1977 by a Japanese fishing boat off the coast of New Zealand, the one found washed ashore on a beach at Monterery Bay, California in 1925, and the one found washed ashore in Situate Harbor, Massachusetts in 1970.

16.) From a correlation of the various testimonies and descriptions of the Loch-Ness Monster against these other proofs, one can conclude that the Loch-Ness Monster is a variant of the plesiosaur.

I have to admit that I find it unlikely that a dinosaur can be trapped and put on display, but I believe it is possible and I will continue to check up on these stories as they come.  But there have been many sightings of gigantic pythons in the Amazon.  And there have been many sightings of so many different types of dinosaurs in the Congo.  And there have been many sightings of pterodactyles in the American southwest.  There have been sightings of other dinosaurs rising out of the depths of swamps and rivers, grabbing livestock, only to dissapear back into the waters with a free meal.

Not every story is going to be true; nor every one valid.  But if you acce

It is a Aprils Fools day joke.
