Atheists: If Dinosaurs predated humans, how do we know that they're called Dinosaurs?

[Popadil (Colonel)]

The fact that we know they're called Dinosaurs (plus their specific names like T-Rex and Brontosaurus) means we humans must have mingled with them.

Thank you for your kind responses.

We read their tweets and hashtag names

[Elegua!]

Because the dinosaurs made excellent documentaries, many of which have been featured on Discovery channel & the like.

Woooooow... It's like your stupid or something. Um, in Russian what's the word for t-Rex? You don't know? How did you know jesus's name wasn't bob? Ass brain!

[Justin]

Could be because we named them. Some dinosaurs are still existing today, so indeed we have mingled with some.

[SubZero]

We made the name. It comes from Deinos and Sauros. Deinos means huge/terrible and sauros means lizard. I fail to see how it connects to Atheism and how humans are supposed to mingle with them, it makes no sense.

It is the name we assigned them - I highly doubt that they had names for themselves.

[Bob Vila]

The Illuminati traveled back in time and asked them what they are called.

[Gaming Atheist]

No, it means we named their fossils and organised them taxonomically into species.

Humans name the things we see, as far as any human can reasonably assume, they had no names previously.

Congratulations. You've hit an entirely new low with that question.
