They were straight, and nearly parallel. Dog-like. (my son’s pit bull has jaws very similar to the picture, with almost the same angle)

Perhaps a Nancy Pelosi link?

That is a pretty picture made by speculation.

Science only deals with the hear and now. It can only speculate about the past and only make assumptions of the future.

The article is filled with assumptions.

Or was that a date on the jaw bone I saw.

Dating methods only fulfill evolutionary needs, they are all that is all speculative, assumptive, and indecisive.

If you have a specific problem with my post, please state it.

Otherwise, your post is generic, unsupported anti-science nonsense.

About all I can glean from your post is that you don't like "dating methods." Please examine the links below and let me know what you would like help on.

Coyoteman,

Your dating methods are all speculative.

Deny that you assume the sample to be pure in nature and the product you are interpreting is the product of decay.

Deny that when you find a rock in a certain strata that you expect a date based upon the fossil content of that strata.

Deny that you Coyoteman date every sample with a presupposition of older than 6000 years when it pertains to evolution or age of earth.

Hear and now? or hear and see?

When you have learned as much about dating as I have, then you can lecture me.

Check the dating links on my FR homepage for a start.
