You all do know that the word dinosaur wasn't used during those times right? To them, they could've just been everyday animals, who knows...

[Stylez]

picking out typo's -50 points.

Typo's would be mistakes whilst typing... That wasn't a mistake, it was the lack of knowledge to remember how to spell a simplistic word...

It was on the sixth day when god created the dinosaurs and the thompson rifle to shoot the homo-sexuals.

mmmmmmm.....good movie

You honestly can't believe this.

I just LOL'd.

SO HARD.

You honestly can't believe this.

The books of the bible were written in Ancient Hebraic... There's a lot of words not used back then that were created in english literature... They could've used terms not known to us... To them a "dinosaur" might not of served a purpose for which to talk about, a lot of animals never were mentioned in the bible, why should "dinosaurs"? Like Panda Girl said, there are mysterious creatures mentioned that might be what people of today's world would refer to as "dinosaurs"...

It's a comparison of ancient religions, but it'll explain about the, so-called, mysterious creatures...

PS - Can't wait until we discover life on another planet so we can just blow the whole lid off the bitch, personally. While I completely understand spirituality, most organized religions seem downright sketchy.

Same could be said about if you die and had to stand in front of God and face judgement... None of us know... So why are we trying to prove each other wrong? What are we going to get out of this, so-called, victory? Bragging rights or a means to an end?

And to tell you the truth, I highly doubt there is any life on other planets... Not because of the environmental factors, but because every other planet gets devastated with asteroids all the time... Funny how Earth is perfectly placed in the universe to not get hit by a huge boulder from outer space, only by small fragments, which our atmosphere usually burns away most of before it even hits us... And how does a "Big Bang" go about creating an atmosphere?... You can argue we already have been hit by one billions/millions of years ago, but you don't know that, that's a hypothesis...

I'm just speculating...

You are a complete idiot, not only do your arguements contradict, but you think dinosaurs and people existed at the same time?!

Holy crap.

You need to learn how to use the word contradict... That wasn't a contradictory statement...

And can you prove they didn't? Ok then... Carbon dating isn't the most accurate science... Half life can't be determined with precise readings on things that have been through erosion and great deals of pressure by being buried under earth for, so-called, millions of years... Prove me wrong, all I'll say to you... You need to work out, wash your face, and find a girlfriend...

Ok, it isn't accurate, but they have mathmatical algorythms of the rate that carbon decays? Not only an algorythm, but a CONSTANT defined after the rate of decaying carbon. I wouldn't trust it in something like a dinosaur bone though, since most or all of the Carbon-14 decays after 100,000 years. I don't know many scientists that use Radio-Carbon Dating for Dinosaurs, they instead go by rocks and the enviroment in which they where found in or around.

And yes I can prove you wrong.

The most famous, if not the largest, of all mass extinctions marks the end of the Cretaceous Period, 65 million years ago. As everyone knows, this was the great extinction in which the dinosaurs died out. (Except for the birds, of course.) The other lineages of "marine reptiles", such as the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs, also were extinct by the end of the Cretaceous, as did the flying pterosaurs -- although some, like the ichthyosaurs, were probably extinct a little before the end of the Cretaceous.

65 Million years, ok, thats a long time ago.

When was the first homo-sapien discovered to have lived?

These bones of an early member of Homo sapiens, known as Omo I, were excavated in Ethiopia. The bones are kept in the National Museum of Ethiopia. When the first bones from Omo I were found in 1967, they were thought to be 130,000 years old. Later, 160,000-year-old bones of our species were found elsewhere. Now, a new study has determined that Omo I lived about 195,000 years ago—the oldest known bones of "modern" humans.

Oh, 195,000 years ago? Wow, thats like 64 million years too late.

Assface.

And I don't think I am the one that needs to find a girlfriend

Did you say, it isn't accurate? Enough said there...

If they aren't accurate, how can you be sure it was really 65 Million years ago and not 100,000 years ago?

Doesn't the word modern have quotation marks around it? Trying to stat it's of Cro-Magnon era... Which doesn't prove anything, it's the only found specimen of human remains to date providing this data... We haven't been to the earths core, we haven't been to the bottom of the ocean, we haven't conquered space, and we sure haven't found enough evidence proving how long the human race has been on this earth for...

The funny thing is, I can tell you just read up on this stuff not to long ago, but just reworded some shit around, go you... :P

Then your an idiot. If you asked any astromoner they would say the chance of there being some forms of life in the universe are extremely good.In fact its probably teeming with bacteria like life on other planets in our galaxy. however inteligent life is likely to be rarer than that.

If you think we are such a unique case, you cannot concieve how big the universe is. It is silly to try and suggest we are the only life in the universe becuase we are so special and perfectly placed when there are so many stars in our galaxy and so many galaxies in the universe.

A better question is , will we ever contact other life in the universe, this is more unlikely.Simply becuase our universe is so big and with our current technologies it would be like finding a needle in a haystack and probes would start taking years to relay information if it were possible to send them to other stars with a transmiter capable of reaching earth.


How does the big bang create an atmosphere??? what type of question is that? The big bang is a theory to try and answer the origin of our vast universe. It would of created matter, the matter had mass created stars, creating new combinations of matter some of which created our planet and our gravity traped the gasses to form an atmosphere. A very quick and flawed outline of atmoshere.

It wasn't meant to be serious. Look at how I phrased it. IT HAD A QUESTION MARK AT THE END OF IT. I said they could tell the age because of the ROCKS and the FORMATIONS AROUND IT, which I CLEARLY STATED. I could not provide you with specifics because, no I am not a palentologist. But I'm sure if you asked one, you can find out how they know. It has something to do with the composites and the way the rock looks and the locations of the rocks and stuff.

Jesus Christ.

Also, no, I had knowledge of this far before you coming to this forum.

We haven't been to the earth's core, no. That is because we can't. You idiot. It's between 5,000 and 7,000 degrees Farenhight. Space wouldn't help us discover the origin of human life because we didn't live in the fucking space. Modern has quotes around it because, obviously, the term modern is being redefined. But also obviously via science, there is a boundry. The earliest humanoid was found to be from around 7 million years ago. Now I ask YOU to use your common sense. If the earliest HUMAN ANCESTOR was found 7 MILLION years ago, is it possible to find one that preceeds that date?

This is the funniest thread ever. From speculating that dinosaurs and man shared the same time frame to completely underestimating the size of the universe, this thread has it all!

Well then, if there were life form's beyond our reach, being in other galaxies, why in the hell are we worried about finding it? We just made it to Mars, let alone to another galaxy which may or may not contain other forms of intelligent life... You may imagine, but doesn't mean it will matter once you're dead...

If you asked any astromoner they would say

I'm sure you speak on behalf of all astronomers...

And that was the most idiotic idea of how an atmosphere might of been created... A big bang impulsion forms a planet capable of forming intelligent life and then giving it an atmosphere, placing other planets perfectly around it to draw in most big fragments of mass coming our way... How we have one of the, if not, biggest stars right next to us, also perfectly placed to orbit around us, along with a moon, both of which "perfectly" orbits around us to sustain life by giving us heat and shade, amongst other various things... How we have a mass amount of land and water to provide homes and nourishment... How we have all these other animals around us, for food and companionship... Explain all this to me, because you know what? I've already been here and thought about all this, I'm not closed minded, I just can't answer these question and never could or will be able too...
