Any lunar creatures, if they would exist would need a food source. It stands to reason that they would eat the food source available to them - themselves.

The lunar atmosphere consists of Argon, Helium, Neon, Sodium, Potassium, and Hydrogen.

The vast majority of dragons in mythology are snake based. It was not until the Christians started throwing body parts on them to symbolize the triumph over the pagan world that we saw most of the dragons that actually look somewhat similar to dinosaurs. Most shouldn't rightfully be called dragons, except due to romanization.

Viet. dragon is a snake and Phillipines' dragons are sea serpents. Chinese dragons are snakes with animal parts stitched on - four legs and the parts of other animals such as stag horns or fish fins - another Chinese piltdown. Indian dragons, Indonesian and Hindu (the naga) are also snake based, sometimes with many heads. Buddhism also has several sea serpent or river serpent dragons.

The myth of a dragon over the cultures are clearly about giant snakes and sea serpents. I call dinosaurs dragons to point out how ridiculous the belief in dinosaurs really is. IN reality, I'm far more inclined to believe in giant snakes, of which we at least have evidence for, than lumbering impossibly large dinosaurs.

Yes the Antarctic is rich with oil, and other resources.
No, you cannot have species survive only eating its own kind.  That's stupid on the face of it.
And as for dinosaurs, there are mountains of evidence to support the fact of their existence.  So far your evidence seems to be, some are fake, this guy did a study about the feeding habits of one species of whale, and another claims Saturn hovered over the North Pole.
Does that about sum it up?
You really need to step up your troll game.

Which is why they also eat the atmosphere, as stated previously.

Sorry but when said they eat the only thing available, each other, I thought that was what you meant.
What part about the dinosaurs was incorrect?  There are mountains of evidence to support them.
Are you saying you did not cite those sources in your arguments?  I did ask you multiple times to confirm that but you always ignored that part of my posts.
As for free thinkers, closing your eyes to facts and evidence and believing there is a massive worldwide conspiracy doesn't make you a free thinker, it makes you delusional.
And troll, yeah, I think you are a troll.  The moon shrimp and penguin thing is a dead giveaway

Notice how you ignore everything else in my post?  You have yet to address the issue of your sources.
I think you are right about one thing though, there is no doubt in scientific community that penguins exist.  Moon shrimp not so much.  Or perhaps you could direct me to a peer reviewed paper on them.

A couple of slight problems potassium boils at over 700 Celsius
Sodium boils at just under 900 Celsius
Argon is almost totally unreactive and has no known biological role
Like argon neon is unreactive and forms no biological molecules
Hydrogen being so light would float off into space as would helium.

It does appear that the word of the scientific community is never doubted by true believers of their craft. 

Things that happen in real life are not always correctly stated in those wizardly manuals you all swear allegiance to.

Re: Dinosaurs: Made In China

I've explained this multiple times. Due to the evidence I presented. Dinosaurs are an untenable hypothesis and can't maintain their own weight and go against everything we already know about biology. Large beasts, such as mammoths and giants, do not and have been reported as observed since the dawn of recorded history. Dinosaurs have shown up in the last 150 years near the advent of science as profession and presumably the gullibility of the American public.

You've never explained it. You're not explaining it now. You say dinosaurs couldn't support their own weight, but you'll happily claim that a 30 foot tall human could support their own weight. You'll happily claim that other non-dinosaurs of equivalent size can support their own weight (the "giant animals" you say dinosaur bones actually belong to).
So why couldn't dinosaurs support their own weight but these other things could? I know - it's because you have a peanut for a brain.

Impressively, almost everything you've said was wrong. Not only did I not discover luna (what you call moonshrimp for some reason), but I also didn't discover the atmosphere on the moon. I am not self proclaimed the foremost zetetic scientist; like the Zetetic Method Man, the title was given to me. Potassium does not boil at 700C, sodium at not just under 900C, argon has biological uses, and hydrogen would not float off the surface.

Other elements you can find in the atmosphere on the moon include methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and water.

And no, of course you didn't discover them, because you can only discover something that exist.

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_the_Moon)

"The average daytime abundances of the elements known to be present in the lunar atmosphere, in atoms per cubic centimeter, are as follows:

Argon: 20,000–100,000
Helium: 5,000–30,000
Neon: up to 20,000
Sodium: 70
Potassium: 17
Hydrogen: fewer than 17

This yields approximately 80,000 total atoms per cubic centimeter, marginally higher than the quantity posited to exist in the atmosphere of Mercury.
While this greatly exceeds the density of the solar wind, which is usually on the order of just a few protons per cubic centimeter,
it is virtually a vacuum in comparison with the atmosphere of the Earth.
The Moon may also have a tenuous "atmosphere" of electrostatically-levitated dust."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Do metals sublimate?
Yes, they do, which is more significant in vacuum:

"The sublimation rate will depend on temperature and energy of sublimation, which is different for different metals.
Also in normal conditions you will have some kind of equilibrium - some of the particles that leave the surface will
condensate back. But in vacuum techniques you need to take this to account - there are metals with low sublimation
energy - such as Zinc, Magnesium, Cadmium e.t.c."

The Lowry Institute are one of the 'theys' that claimed huge amounts of oil in the Antarctic.

"Antarctica’s predicted oil reserves have been estimated at up to 203 billion barrels" This is certainly a conservative estimate -- if only they had known the true size of the Antarctic!

The latter.
In the past, his threads and posts were at least relevant to the FE/Globe question, though often just as ridiculous.
Any man, or able bodied woman, can view the flat earth for him or herself with ease using this simple experiment (and many others!)

Should they find themselves at a dock, they need only slip the foreman a 20 dollar bill to view the inside of a shipping crate. Be careful, and tread lightly as you likely won't be accustomed to the 'shipyard banter' that often fills these locations. Now, at sunrise, within your shipping crate that is facing sunrise, with one end unbarred, take note of how the light illuminates the crate during the sunrise. If, as we are told, the earth is round then we would expect the top of the crate to be illuminated first - as it should have a better vantage point for the sun as it rises above a horizon.

You might well save your time though, as any dockworker will testify - the crate is not lit in this manner at all. This is yet another proof that the earth is not a spinning round ball hurtling through space at ridiculous speeds in some sort of celestial race, but instead a plane as our senses and logic dictates it must be.

It serves as yet another reason any thinking sailor since the dawn of time has known - the Earth is Flat.
Note how this ends with an unsupported but completely fallacious claim,
