[”TRex, Raptors,and other carnivorous theropods DID HAVE HOLLOW BONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”]
Like the bones of birds? That’s odd, I’ve never heard that before. Or do you mean “hollow” like our own bones, where our long bones, and some others have a center that is filled with marrow?
So is it your contention that the bones of dinosaurs were very close to the bones of birds?
It’s odd that this information hasn’t been more widely circulated.

No, the T-Rex bones that have yielded the material for this venture in propaganda are quite solid to the core.
