““the topic is controversial among the adult population…”
No, no its not. Not unless the 10% or less of New Yorkers who assert creationism comprise a controversy. Personally, I believe the pre-scientific word for dinosaur was, “dragon.” Is that in the top 50 list, I wonder?

Were dinosaurs on the Noah’s Arc? No? Well, that cinches it, they were a figment of some “scientists’” imagination.

Is it the existence of dinasaurs they find “controversial” or just the period of existence?
