I had a guy that worked for me many years ago that also believed that dinosaurs were fake. He was religious and believed the bible was literal, so that of course made their existence impossible. Sometimes I felt a little bad for him because if he couldn't get something to fit into his narrow religious constraints it confused him and sometimes really bothered him.

He didn't allow his kids to go trick or treating on Halloween either.........

In and of itself, it doesn't. That was just his particular belief.

Not allowing kids to go trick or treating is actually pretty common though. I went to a Christian college and we didn't technically celebrate Halloween either. Although we had an event we called Samedi Gras around the same time that served the same purpose of letting kids dress in costumes.

Maybe this is a philosophical stance. What is "existence" with out the ability to reason, create and problem solve? BPH is just like, a modern day Plato, man.

My Pap refused to believe that anyone ever set foot on the moon.

Did he not watch the moon landing on TV? Or just assume it was fake?

Someone brought in a date a few weeks ago to prove men stepped foot on the moon with the retroreflector, and she still didn't believe it, said we just hit a video to get the numbers. So we showed her the math behind it (which is really easy, roughy speed of light times the time it takes to get feedback divided by two) and she still refused.

Buzz Aldrin once punched a moon landing denier though.:snicker:

I wonder if he believes that people can actually levitate but shouldn't because they'll die in the process. I know someone who's dead serious about believing it.

He said that it was faked on TV. Unfortunately my grandfather dropped out of school in 6th grade so he could work and help support the family. I remember that when I went to college he had a hang up about it. He would tell me that I thought I was smarter than him. But did I know how to build a house or fix my car. He was a good guy and a very hard worker, and he learned a lot of practical stuff through the years, but things like Space Travel were beyond his comprehension and he didn't trust the Givernment. He was convinced that they were responsible for the death of JFK long before I ever heard any of the conspiracy theories from anyone else.

Through fossil collecting I met a Mennonite who also collected. He loved fossils but he refused to believe in Evolution. He was a strict creationist. I asked him what he thought about how certain creatures evolved over the years and how evident it was in many cases and he said that it was not possible. It defies logic.

One could argue he's hurting his children. This is the guy that said, "education makes you stupid". I truly worry for his children.

I can get how he would believe that then, when you need to drop out early to support your family you tend to feel a bit apprehensive towards education. I have an uncle the same way, when I announced I was going to graduate school he responded as if I had just kicked his mother. He just wouldn't stop with it either, kept asking math questions he felt was hard and then would tell me to answer it sarcasticly.

A fossil collector that didn't believe in evolution is very interesting though. That would like an astronomer who believed in the concave earth with glass in the sky.
