What Do You Do When Your Boss Says Something Incredibly Stupid, Then Proceeds To Expound Upon Said Stupidity?

I am not sure how the topic even came up, but the discussion at work came around to dinosaurs. My boss said that the Tyrannosaurus Rex never existed. He insists that the only skeletons of the T. Rex were assembled from the bones of giant crocodiles and other random bones found in bone beds and tar pits. He refuses to believe the pictures of T. Rex skeletons that I have in books where they uncovered skeletons embedded in a hillside with the bones laid out in the pattern where the body fell.

Then he went off on his skewed theories (fact to his mind) of the flood (the Biblical one) and a bunch of junk science that made me want to beat him over the head with a chair. I was torn between bursting out in laughter or kicking him in the groin and telling him to shut the fsck up.

Sadly, one of our co-workers was there. Like myself, she has been victim to his insane rants before.

Aweful lot of bones of varying shapes and sizes, from many different creatures, not just dinosaurs, to simply be croc bones. 😛

Peter Principle. A person rises to their highest level of competence, then is promoted one level higher. In his case, I think he was promoted four or five.

If you say that, it's not really saying much about yourself since you work for such a schmuck, is it? 😉

Just my $.02

Not really. I could transfer to a position equal to his, but it would mean working in a different location and dealing with extra sh!t for only a little more money. I would rather continue working where I am, since I only live a couple of kilometers from my workplace. I am waiting for an opening in a different division so I can transfer away from my current job completely.
 
Tell him to check out the Creation Research Institue <CRI>. The organization is made up of Christians who are respected scientists, and his idiotic theories aren't going to fly with them. Of course he won't listen to any "evolution scientists" but maybe he'll listen if he hears it from people who he considers on his side.

He only agrees with people on his side if they agree with his ludicrous pre-conceived notions. One of his favorite people is a Biblical "archaeologist" that has been proven to be a fraud so many times it isn't funny. This man has had "proof" of so many things in his hands, yet the night before he is to fly out with it, show it, et cetera, some men in military uniforms always show up and take it away.

This is the same guy that was caught planting tools on a dig site so he could dig them up the next day.

Looks like his site is down, not sure if it is temporary or permanent.

Some of the fraud charges.

Proper response is to look thoughtful, pause, and calmly say "that's an interesting theory, I'll haev to investigate it." Then of course, you post the whole episode to ATOT so your boss can see it.

You should do both. First, laugh at him. Then suddenly and unexpectedly, kick him in the groin and say your new catch-phrase.
 
It stuns me how someone can reject what is here and now and in their face, for a faith. "I have faith!" Why? Why do you have faith? Because that's how you were brought up. There is a creator, I have no doubt in my mind.
But from what I've heard, God is an angry Bi-Polar and has Multiple personities.
Religion is organized insanity.
