I've had someone deeply explain why he thinks dinosaurs are a hoax and it's hard to argue. He believes it was a part of the push against religion. If you go back to the Reformation era sociologists talk about how the greatest impacts were explaining things that used to be explained by God or gods. Things like dead seasons are explained by religious myth, same with plagues from classical mythology.

Is he aware of dinosaur fossils being discovered long before Christianity, and even being made into tools and artwork by primitive man?

How does that make the dinosaurs a hoax?

It's only hard to argue against the existence of dinosaurs if the person you are arguing with is a friend, and they are unwilling to think.

Saying "You're a fucking idiot" to a friend, and being clear you mean it, is hard.
