I'm not easily finding this piece of art online. Is it some Han dynasty vase with a dragon on it and the Creation museum has gone Full It's a Dinosaur They Lived Among?
Are creationists done pretending dinosaur bones are fake, or has there been a schism
The Dinosaur Bones are Fake Crowd has fallen off in recent years, they were most prominent from the 1860s to the 1980s when the fossil record was less complete and reliable than it is today. They used to cite Charle's Darwin quotes about lacking evidence religiously, quite ironically. They are always looking for some new quotes from evolutionary biologists today like Mark Ridley quoted saying we lacked enough transition fossils in 1981 but since then he's already renounced that argument and brought attention to the many new transition fossils found since then such as tiktaalik.
The problem with Dinosaur Bones are Fake arguments is that the people who make the arguments know nothing of fossils because in the process of learning about fossils they realize they were wrong. Sometimes I see a stray "Carbon Dating only goes back 50,000 years reliable and doesn't work on surface exposed objects" as if radiology would only work on specific carbon isotopes lmao.

I still have the passage bookmarked in my copy of Origin of Species. The local JWs used to cite it a lot when I mentioned evolution, but they've stopped, unfortunately.
Maybe the finally read the rest of the paragraph? Who knows.
I have a Darwin quote for them:
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae [a family of parasitoid wasps] with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars.
"Fossils are a test of faith/temptation by Satan" are still going though.
after they digitally altered it, yes
Wouldn't shock me if it was in the Creation Museum and it's just a fake.
