Tell us about the dinosaurs

Tell us about the dinosaurs
Well, at Statler Waldorf's suggestion, because he seems to believe dinosaurs are not relevant to his discussion about the age of the earth, here is a new thread for this topic.

Ok Statler Waldorf - go for it, tell us about the dinosaurs. Tell us your scientific explanations about their existence (or non-existence?!) and how this fits in with a young earth.

I think you know the position of most people here is that we accept current thinking on their existence and age of the planet etc.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.

RE: Tell us about the dinosaurs
The dinosaurs went extinct because when they showed up at the ark, Noah objected, telling god that the plumbing simply couldn't handle that much coprolite. I thought everyone knew this. Smile

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

My guess is that Statler Waldorf will run from this thread like cockroaches exposed to light.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Well, let me see if I can guess what he'd say.
Two of every species or kind of dinosaur managed to somehow fit on the ark (and, no, even if you somehow managed to figure out what exactly "kind" is supposed to mean, even two from every kind would be too cramped to fit on a boat which is too big to be seaworthy) and somehow, the radiation required to puncture the canopy of vapor that apparently existed made it impossible for species of a certain size, particularly Dinosaurs to breathe (which doesn't even begin to make sense, considering that the Velociraptor, being about the same length of a horse and shorter, would probably have more chance of surviving than a horse).

Not exactly. Can I answer this over in the "Balcony" thread?

RE: Tell us about the dinosaurs
No, no. You have it all wrong. Noah was a very picky person and he only took the animals he liked with him. This means he told the dinosaurs, the unicorns, and all other mythical/extinct creatures that the ark was leaving at 5, when it was really leaving at 3.

Why don't you just stick to the thread that was created for it? This forum doesn't revolve around you; we don't have to keep all topics in a single thread that you made.

Well actually I was trying to keep your forum neat and tidy for you. If you cannot recognize the courtesy of this gesture then whatever.
