Global warming did them in and they turned into birds, a hummingbird used to be a T-Rex

Evolution seems to be a real problem for you to get a handle on. T. Rex is more of a cousin.

I remember when I went to a fundamentalist school, Ken Hamm came and visited and talked about sightings of large, dinosaur-like, creatures deep in the jungles of Africa. He said the descriptions fit those of dinosaurs perfectly.

In hindsight, I believe it was Hamm that said that. Could have been one of my teachers though.

Which school?

Fundamentalist school I went to in Louisville tied to my church.

Is the assumption that the mass extinction in question stumps scientists? It doesn't. This is a very good example of revolution in action. Start with the wiki page, it's pretty interesting if you like this stuff.

scientists are starting to push the idea that the dinosaurs were already on their way to extinction prior to the meteor strike. it just exacerbated the problem.

what exactly are we rambling on about in this thread?

Part of the problem with that theory is that there were a couple of previous points in the mid-Jurassic and early Cretaceous where Dinosaur diversity also dipped before recovering. It's hard to say if that was a permanent decline or just a bump in the evolutionary road. Certainly theropod Dinosaurs and birds were very diverse.

Good talk folks. Something happened, they went extinct, other stuff didn't. Don't ask more questions.

Cal State fired a scientist for finding soft tissue on triceratop bones a few years back.

Did he find reins on it too?

Trust me, I don't love you and I don't pray for your soul

I trust in the God Jehovah

It's hilarious because scientists had already found preserved evidence of collagen on other Dinosaurs, a T. Rex and a type of Hadrosaur, I believe. The preservation of that material is not controversial, if the animal is buried in the right conditions then iron in the body can preserve small pieces of soft tissue.
The idea that they fired him for an important find is ludicrous.
As for your bit about birds evolving from Dinosaurs, it's equally hilarious how uninformed you are about these animals. They ranged in size from Microraptor to Titanosaurus, and the first Dinosaurs were a bit bigger than chickens. We have preserved feather imprints for Dinosaurs like Velociraptor and Yutyrannus. Even Psittacosaurus, a ceratopsian. Suggesting all Dinosaurs had a few protofeathers.

Nope. It was an extremely small school, fed primarily by the church that ran it. There were 10 in my class.

Jurassic Park was a great book and movie.

Fantastic book and movie. Though to be accurate, here's what the animals should look like:

Velociraptor (really Deinonychus):


Tyrannosaur:


Gallimimus:


And so on.

Those literally look like something I would see if I were tripping ballz.

Those literally look like something I would see if a five year old boy came up with a totally cool new animal. I'm sure Sapper will tell me it's science though.

What's hilarious is people form opinions and stick to them based on idol thought. Like, nothing man does could possibly effect the earth. For some reason, they feel like because they put some thought into the subject, they're correct based on what seems logical to them. Their idol thought means more than thousands of trained scientist who have extensively researched hundreds of theories. Not to mention all of the overlapping proof from various specialized fields.

Some dinosaurs couldn't possibly be related to birds just because ... well, that doesn't sound right. Essentially, what they are saying is education is irrelevant. Let's all exist on gut feelings and ignore factual evidence. Let's completely ignore the accumulation of knowledge and believe everything an ancient book tells us. They're the same people that rationalize every illogical verse in the bible.

Gut feelings can be useful but mean nothing in terms of complex subject matter. You still have to prove that your gut is correct.

My gut tells me the bible is a work of fiction written as a moral compass for a growing population. Yes, I believe there is a higher power. But, I freely admit that I'm far too ignorant to have even the slightest comprehension as to who or what is responsible for our existence. Anyone claiming they know for sure s 100% FOS, ignorant, and arrogant as hell to boot.

I think this would be a good place for MQB to start:
