cormac mac airt Posted November 25, 2012 #301 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Cut it out Harte. Swede is a scientist . His "deft use of the language" is to be expected and appreciated , not ridiculed. His linguistic propensities were displayed from birth, upon which when the Dr. announced, " It's a boy! " Swede interjected.... ahem!, infantile male H. sapiens sapiens. And then cut his own umbilical cord, took a shower and shaved. cormac 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsh86_Patel Posted November 28, 2012 Author #302 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Re: Bolded #1 - But that is the point. Numerous representatives of pre-H.s.s. lineages have been recovered and analyzed. Extensively. Re: Bolded #2 - You have "read a lot about the general commentaries on so called hominid fossils"? In what references? Have you actually studied the technical reports? Do you have any formal training/experience in faunal analysis that would allow you to provide credible interpretation of an osteological recovery? Are you truly aware of all the subtleties of such aspects as bio-mechanics that are involved in such evaluations as locomotive capability/manner? . Extinct chimp fossils are erraneously heralded as hominid fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clobhair-cean Posted November 28, 2012 #306 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) The difference is that you are claiming, from a position of ignorance, that the opinions of all the trained experts in the world are false because you and a bunch of ideologically motivated lunatics on the internet say so.

Cobalt60 Posted November 29, 2012 #308 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes. I not only believe such is possible, but that's how it was. All the stories and legends and such concerning dragons? That's what they were: dinosaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you propose any way in which dinosaurs could have survived K-T and lived up to relatively modern days without leaving any physical trace behind and only to appear in works of fiction? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they were: dinosaurs. Does that mean that if I believe hard enough, God will send me a magic unicorn that S hits gold turds that I can melt down and sell as bullion? I sure hope so, because I could use the money right now. Believing something doesn't make it true. Something ACTUALLY happening is the basis for truth. When things ACTUALLY happen they leave behind this little thing called evidence. There is no evidence that non-avian dinosauria survived the K-T event, making it EXTREMELY unlikely to have occurred. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While your main point here is correct, there IS evidence that some lines of dinosaurs lived up to 300,000 years after the K-T event. Still a long way from then til now. cormac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they all dropped dead exactly 64 million years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRW Posted December 3, 2012 #319 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Dinosaurs still exist, so yes Humans and Dinosaurs co-exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbitran Posted December 3, 2012 #320 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Dinosaurs still exist, so yes Humans and Dinosaurs co-exist. That isn't a dinosaur... it's a crocodile. They're only distantly related. On a different note, birds are members/descendants of the Dinosauria clade: ergo, yes, dinosaurs and humans have indeed coexisted (since birds existed when, and long before, humans came along) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRW Posted December 3, 2012 #321 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That isn't a dinosaur... it's a crocodile. They're only distantly related. Not everyone has to obide by your opinion. In my opinion, crocodiles are dinosaurs, the etymology of the word dinosaur is "terrible lizard" modern day crocodiles have the exact same type of shape as ancient crocodiles, only smaller. When their prey got smaller so did the terrible lizards (crocodile). Their hunting also remains unchanged, they hide in water and then ambush unsuspecting prey that need to consume water for sustenance. Aegisuchus is an extinctgenus of giant, flat-headed crocodyliform within the family Aegyptosuchidae. That is a dinosaur and modern day crocodiles still resemble them aesthetically. They are related as you say. Crocodiles are a continuum of more ancient dinosaurs, the terrible lizards et cetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, they are the same line only less robust. But nevertheless, still extremely impressive dinosaur specimens. They are less robust and smaller probably because their larger prey went extinct. Since the etymology of the word dinosaur is "terrible lizard" than what else are crocodiles only terrible lizards, they are hardly pretty lizards.
