Why do people who like metal music believe in dinosaurs?

How many are Christiam based, or otherwise Christian biased?

Yeah, other more prominent religions are not being represented here, like the 'church of the flying spaghetti monster' as well as 'scientology' to name a couple

Only one of them is a Christian news site. There's Huffington Post, ABC News in Australia, CNET, Uproxx, Raw Story and many others.

Quite a few of these seem to be negative publicity towards the movement you support, have you read or skimmed them?

I see words like "rant", "overprotective", etc...

One example of the linked news coverages given by that site.

It's natural for people to misunderstand where we're coming from. Luckily it has led a lot of questioning souls to join our Facebook group, where we've been able to show them the facts.

Oh no I do believe I can understand where you're coming from, most likely your parents told you what to believe. Now don't misunderstand, I don't think having a belief system is bad, I realise some people need it as a bit of a safety net, to have "faith" that things will improve. I just believe the problem rises when people (such as yourself) are against something that just has so much evidence.

I just think it's pretty far fetched to think this whole thing is a huge conspiracy. May I ask, do you believe the paleontologist are lying to you, or that someone has planted these fossils underground to be found. (therefore putting no fault in the people who have a passion for digging up bones, artifacts, etc...)

I must say, I'm relieved you at least don't seem to think the devil just planted these around to mislead people.

Edit: I have to be honest, it just seems very ironic to me that someone who was brought up to believe something by their parents and family without a doubt would go out of their way to say others who have at least some form of evidence more so than papers and scripture are the people blindly following the masses.

There's a lot of questions there that require some in-depth answers, you should join our Facebook group.

Hey dude, I'm with you man, Dinosaurs?! Yeah right! Pull the other one, it's like the whole spinach thing all over again...

I have to ask (and know I'm probably going to regret this).... 'spinach thing'?

I was about to say the exact same thing.

I still think this thread is insulting to people who like metal music.

Who doesn't like a metal is my question It's a big area, with lots of sub genres, to not like anything from such a large branch of modern music would strike me as either ignorance of the genre, or a prejudice against it.

At least you're acknowledged. Unlike the poor sods of the rarely mentioned wood music genre. Or ceramic alloy music.

I don't. If it isn't ACDC, Queen or one of the very few random songs I like then it's not something I listen to.

Spinach is not good for you...fact. Not only does it look and taste like the stuff you find under a lawn mower, it's also known to increase your chances of I.B.S.
When the origin report was written regarding its potential, some numb-nut screwed up on a decimal point, making the stuff seem like there was ten times more of whatever it was suppose to be full of.
It made it seem like it was some kind of super veg.
A massive industry sprang into life practically over night, some serious money started to be made. Then someone discovered the mistake. By this time they couldn't come clean, jobs were at stake. and lets face it nobody would eat that stuff unless they thought it was doing them good.
So, not only did the shadowy spinach growers cover up the second report, they increased spending on the propaganda front, indoctrinating children with cartoons about a one eyed sailor, and his skinny girlfriend. Yes, I'm afraid to say that Popeye was a central pillar in their mythology.

"Nutritional breakdown of spinach
One cup of raw spinach contains 27 calories, 0.86 grams of protein, 30 milligrams of calcium, 0.81 grams of iron, 24 milligrams of magnesium, 167 milligrams of potassium, 2813 IUs of Vitamin A and 58 micrograms of folate.

Most of the calories in spinach come from protein.

Spinach is one of the best sources of dietary potassium, weighing in at 839mg per cup (cooked). To compare, one cup of banana has about 539mg of potassium.

A lack of iron in your diet can effect how efficiently your body uses energy. Spinach is a great non-heme source of iron, along with lentils, tuna and eggs.


Spinach contains approximately 250mg of calcium per cup (cooked), however it is less easily absorbed than calcium from sources like dairy products. Spinach has a high oxalate content, which binds to calcium deeming it unavailable for use in our bodies.

When it's all said and done, our bodies can only absorb about 5% of the calcium in spinach (about 12.5mg per cup) whereas the absorption rate from calcium in milk is about 28% (300mg of calcium in one cup of milk at a bioavailability level of 28% would provide 84 mg per cup).

Spinach is also one of the best sources of dietary magnesium, which is necessary for energy metabolism, maintaining muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, a healthy immune system and maintaining blood pressure. Magnesium also plays a part in hundreds more biochemical reactions that occur in the body.

Those with digestive disorders, alcoholic, older adults and individuals taking medications such as antibioticsand diuretics are more likely to have a magnesium deficiency and should consume more leafy greens.

Spinach also contains vitamin K, fiber, phosphorus and thiamine.

Possible health benefits of spinach
Diabetes management: spinach contains an antioxidant known as alpha-lipoic acid, which has been shown to lower glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity and prevent oxidative stress-induced changes in patients with diabetes. Studies on alpha-lipoic acid have also shown decreases in peripheralneuropathy and/or autonomic neuropathy in diabetics.1

Of note, most studies have used intra-venous alpha-lipoic acid and it is unsure whether oral supplementation would elicit the same benefits.1

Cancer prevention: Spinach and other green vegetables contain chlorophyll which has shown to be effective at blocking the carcinogenic effects of heterocyclic amines which are generated when grilling foods at a high temperature.2

Asthma prevention: The risks for developing asthma are lower in people who consume a high amount of certain nutrients. One of these nutrients is beta-carotene, of which spinach is an excellent source. Apricots, broccoli, cantaloupe, pumpkin and carrots are also rich sources of beta-carotene.3

Lowering blood pressure: because of its high potassium content, spinach is recommended to those with high blood pressure to negate the effects of sodium in the body. A low potassium intake may be just as big of a risk factor in developing high blood pressure as a high sodium intake.4

Other high potassium foods include potatoes, tomatoes, lima beans and oranges.

Bone health: Low intakes of vitamin K have been associated with a higher risk for bone fracture. Adequate vitamin K consumption is important for good health, as it acts as a modifier of bone matrix proteins, improves calcium absorption and may reduce urinary excretion of calcium.5

Promotes regularity: Spinach is high in fiber and water content, both of which help to prevent constipationand promote a healthy digestive tract.

Healthy skin and hair: Spinach is high in vitamin A, which is necessary for sebum production to keep hair moisturized. Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Spinach and other leafy greens high in vitamin C are imperative for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.

Iron-deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, which can be prevented by an adequate intake of iron-rich foods, like spinach."

Safety
Spinach contains a high amount of oxalate. Individuals with a history of oxalate containing kidney stones should avoid over consumption. A low oxalate diet is usually defined as containing less than 50 milligrams of oxalate per day. Spinach has more than 50 milligrams so is best avoided.

Spinach also contains high levels of oxalic acid, which in excess can inhibit the absorption of other important nutrients such as calcium. Lightly cooking spinach is thought to reduce the oxalic acid content.

Did you see how fast squishy got back in touch? Possible agent of the WFSG, if you ask me.

Lol... Just to point out that although *technically* ACDC isn't metal, I'm fairly sure from the view point of the article from the op, you are very much into the category of 'likes metal'...

Edit, also you've not really disproved my point, it sounds to me that you have limited experience of it....
