Did you know all 'bones' in museums are just plaster cast replicas? Did you know the smithsonian keeps the 'actual bones' but the public is not allowed to view them? There was never a bone discovery before 1850 and that year the "discovered" 200 diff species lmao. It's a hoax

The bones are in the museums, just not on display. There’s too much risk they’ll get damaged.
Just because the Creation Museum is a fake doesn’t mean actual science-based museums are.
What Yutolia said. Most of those ancient bones are probably too valuable, fragile, and worn to be opened up to display where just any moron can touch them, hence the need for plaster replicas. It’s not the first time some imbeciles decide to “touch” museum exhibits against the rules and in the process broke them…
I mean, it’s just common sense.
…Actually, what am I saying!? Common sense is a very rare commodity amongst creationists and other fundies.
The Smithsonian Institute preserves the actual Jefferson Bible, but make the text in such public domain.
They also have three arcade games: "Pong": the first commercially available one by Atari. Namco's "Pac-Man": the most popular one. "Dragon's Lair" by Don Bluth: the most technically innovative - Laserdisc - and most graphically artistic. Yet it's possible for others to have their own versions of such via a MAME/DAPHNE-based DIY cabinet setup if not the more expensive originals, but the latter are available.
The Natural History Museum in London. Your move.
Of course they are duplicates, since the real bones are instead kept in laboratories.
And rigorous testing confirmed they were millions of years old.

The ‘original’ versions of historical documents and paintings that are on display in museums and other places are also almost always extremely faithful replicas of their real originals or oldest surviving versions. Painstaking effort and thousands of dollars—if not more—go into producing each of these facsimiles in order to ensure they accurately mimic every minute detail of the works they imitate, which are far too priceless to be stolen, damaged, destroyed, or even kept in a brightly lit, room-temperature, open-air environment. You know as well as I do that you don’t genuinely, earnestly believe that the Old Testament, US Constitution and Declaration of Independence, Magna Carta, and da Vinci’s paintings of The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa are hoaxes clumsily forged by crooked historians, art scholars, philologists, and craftsmen orchestrating a vast, elaborate liberal conspiracy to discredit God’s existence. It’s thus obvious you don’t truly accept that your claim here follows a valid train of “logic.” The only reasonable conclusion one can draw from this is that you’re either being insincere and disingenuously using flawed logic to make a bad-faith argument, or you’re such an incorrigibly fuckwitted idiot that you can’t even figure out whether you actually believe what you say.
I grew up in the mountains near Boulder and we found deer bones, snail shells, etc all the time in my backyard. I'm pretty sure they found bones long before 1850.
Museums not wanting people to damage bones by touching them (leaving oil on then as a result) makes perfect sense.
There was never a bone discovery before 1850
The first non-Avian dinosaur to be named, Megalosaurus was described in 1924, followed by Iguanodon the next year (both by Willliam Buckland) and Hylaeosaurus in 1832 (by Gideon Martell). In 1842, Richard Owen defined Dinosauria from these three genera. You are wrong.

Yes, and the shale out by the concrete place on 36 north (used to be called Cass, not sure what it is now) is filled with fossils (amonites, baculites, and inocerami) from the same time as the dinosaurs. My friends and I used to go out there fossil-hunting all the time - the owner would let us keep whatever we found as long as we showed it to him.

Yeah, he really was. He was just really excited we were interested in that kind of thing because it was the kind of thing that girls were discouraged from being interested in at the time. So that makes him even cooler, actually.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
