Dinosours

The only thing that leads me to believe there is such a thing as evolution from monkey to man is when I see a creature like DaveW. To be honest I think he looks more like an ewoch. Did the scientist find any ewoch bones?

I know there are sasquaches. I saw one named sly playing poker once.

 

So an animal that gets caught in a raging flood is going to continue to eat while it drowns? Doesn't seem "easy" or even sensical.

Would it be safe to assume that you are of the "Young Earth" school of thought?

 

Dont think so, Triceratops has one head/neck plate, thats it. Quite vulnerable from the rear. Think rhinosourous with 3 horns. Could be killed by spears alone.

You must be thinking of something else.

Sounda like Dragon scales again to me. At least that type of idea.

 

The Bible says that waters rushed forth from beneath so I look at this as springs, and the oceans opening up, earthquakes etc, so I think animals got buried very fast and I do view earth as a young earth.

 

What is your basis for the young earth idea? Strictly Biblical?

How old is the earth, in your opinion?

 

You're right. I was thinking of the stegosaurus.

 

keep in mind that dinosaur bones are pretty rare finds. and in fact, when they are found, they are generally found in quantities which implies a particular set of unusual circumstances that came together just right to preserve the bones.

how many fossils are found in the act of eating something? this is a new one for me. it's an extreme rarity to get a complete set of dino bones let alone a diarama of t-rex in action.

the tissue found on the t-rex bone was a suprise, but not entirely unique. medullary bone is soft tissue that fill the bones of modern day birds during ovulation as a reservoir of calcium for egg creation. it's not like a bit of skin or something. it's inside the bone and reasonably hearty.

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think triceratops had large scales of any kind. You might be thinking of a stegasaurus.

Edit: Yep, you were.

 

Fossils aren't just old bones. Fossilization is a process in which the bone actually changes in to rock. So, when paleontologists find a fossil, they're actually finding a rock, not a bone.

We could preserver our bones or bodies that long if we encased them in concrete, which is basically what happened to the dinasaur bones.
