People are flooding to social media to weigh in after a conspiracy theorist explained why she doesn't think dinosaurs were ever real.
Right guys, it's time to go back to school and put your 'critical thinking skills to the test'.
If there were ever really dinosaurs on Earth, one woman has questioned why there aren't bones from those dinosaurs 'everywhere'.

A TikToker who's since deleted their account - who went by the username @queenofeverything0003 - took to the platform to call on followers to get their thinking caps on one morning - yes, a bright and early start to the day thinking about whether dinosaurs actually existed or whether they're all made up.
In the clip, the conspiracy theorist says: "So why is it that the average Joe has never dug them up? Like why haven't you or I, ever found a bone?
"And another thing, bones can completely decay within 20 years but these people are finding fossils that are intact that still have teeth attached? 76 million years ago?"
If you're already confuzzled by now, just you wait.
The TikToker adds if anyone watching the video has in fact, found a dinosaur bone before, she'd 'love to hear it' and the 'story' behind the discovery but resolves she does 'honestly' believe 'they put these creatures in front of us and made us believe it'.

But why would someone make dinosaurs up? Well, according to the conspiracy theorist, because 'all of our fallen ancestors have always talked about the nephilim'.
The nephilim are a group of people who are described as basically being giants, spoken about in the Hebrew Bible.
She continues: "The fallen angels, yes big a** giants. And if the meteor thing truly happened, if something of that magnitude was to hit Earth it would be like 10,000 nuclear bombs going off.
"How didn't everything get obliterated? There wouldn't be anything left, let alone bones."

Despite having slightly lost me - and many viewers - apparently it's 'easy to connect the dots once your eyes are open'.
The TikToker resolves: "It's just another thing they made up to keep up from the truth. Truth is giants existed."
Well, I have no words, but unsurprisingly it didn't take long for social media users to flock to the post to weigh in on the theory.
One user said: "'Wouldn't they be everywhere?' but also they're supposed to decay in 20 years so how are they finding them?"

"They are fossils not bones. There is a difference," another added.
A third commented: "Go back to school lmao."
And the conversation spilled over onto X too, a user summarising: "'Let's all put on our critical thinking caps', the conspiracy theorist advised, before arguing that people dedicate their lives to paleontology in order to obscure the existence of the nephilim."
For those of you now suddenly feeling a creeping questioning as to why dinosaur bones aren't just found 'everywhere'?
Well, dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent across the globe, however, they're not just in every Bob, Dick and Harry's garden because the fossilisation of bones requires certain conditions.

Natural History Museum dinosaur researcher Dr David Button said: "Most of the dinosaur fossils we find are from animals that were living near to a lake or river.
"Some died shortly before the area flooded and covered their remains in mud and silt. Others were washed into a river by heavy rain.
"We don't know about many dinosaurs that lived in jungle or mountain environments. Fossils are very unlikely to form in such situations."
