Are there any YECs in the house here?

The term creation scientist is an oxymoron .They may have credentials in science but they do not act like scientists .

The Pollosaur says, "Don't mess with me, I'm part Archaeopteryx!" I am reminded of the cover of an issue of National Geographic that had a picture of a wolf and a Maltese. That Maltese looked just like one of ours. The joke around our house was that she was "part wolf". lol Little candy-ass lap-dog.

And, there are not many of these individuals:

I like this bit....

It's questionable whether some of the people listed actually exist beyond creationist copy-pasting, given that they have left no trace of their scientific (or other) work.

Just curious; any of our Christian friends who believe in a <10K year old Earth and/or Universe, the type who also believe (as I was taught growing-up) that humans and dinosaurs not only coexisted but also cohabited?

dinosaurs and humans cohabitating is not just a religious idea. Matter of fact there are creatures that span the distance between dino-dominated periods and now. It is not too much of a stretch (unless your a closed minded baffone) that a few more held out and lived past the eve of the dinosaurs and the dawn of man.

What closed minded people do not understand is not all dinosaurs must from the prime of the mesozoic eras. Again we have animals from the tail end of the cretaceous period STILL roaming the earth in great numbers. So then how much more plausible that maybe a hand full of species more were alive 2 or even 5 thousand years ago that are not alive now? Do you seriously think the hand full of aligators and crocks species are that only ones that made it? Then what about sharks? the shark or a variation of it has been around supposedly for 450 million years... that's twice as long as the gator which puts it in the end of the 2nd of 6 paleozoic eras. Meaning evolutionary speaking this guy was a finished product when land life and the rest of sea life was in it's infancy. and they are still here.

It's all a matter of opening your mind. when people say that man walked along side dinosaurs it is happening now, but most of youclosedminded types were given a picture of man walking besides one or two species we do not have any proof of, yet ignore the living examples of today...

Now if you can wrap you mind around today's living examples dare to ask how many more example could have there been 5000 years ago... when the earth was less polluted and less populated by man.. if you can fathom just two other species then why not 10 very large reptiles? if 10 why not 20? would 20 dinsaur eras animals be enough to say man walked with the dinosaurs back then?????

what if I said there are at least 25 animals like that now??? now ask yourself again if 25 can live now So how many more do you think could have live back then?

Do I hear the hinges of a rusted close mind starting to creek open??? No I didn't think so. Because the word dinosaur means 3 different animals.

Don't even get me started on mammoths.. I found bones as a child with hair and 'matter' still on them at a local spring the bones were not fossilized, just the opposite they were badly decayed... they were maybe decades old maybe 100s of years but not thousands. I know they were mammoth bones because a lifeguard had us stop called in park admins and they shut the park down for like 9 moths while they investigated. the lifeguard got the credit and the park is now named 'mammoth springs. it has a plaster model of the mammoth head we found (reconstructed) minus the skull shard we kept. They went on and on about how the minerals in the spring fossilized the bones, which was a bunch of BS you could take your finger and push through the soft skull material. this was a 'fresh grave' not a billion year old site.

Yeah Dirch is now pushing cyptozoology .Just because some animals survived from prehistory in no way supports the notion the Flintstones is a documentary .


There is being open minded and then there is bat shit insanity .

I was once a Christian fundamentalist like GC, and remember well encountering the phrase "Last Thursdayism" on 'AA' (alt.atheism); it was the beginning of the end of my journey out of religious fundamentalism, and ultimately, into atheism.

I love it whenever I hear atheists speak of alt.atheism. Usenet - The frontier days of the internet! I wonder how many people here were not even born when usenet was in its heyday. I kind of miss those days because everyone on the net back then was computer-savvy. There was none of the Facebook crowd.

Heh, I had usenet delivered via uucp on dialup back in the early 90's.

Then came AOL and Endless September and I bailed on it.
