"I didn't know Alligators mutated. Does it happen a lot?"

Mutating 'Alligator'

[ASA Vet]

There were thousands and thousands of Hadrasaurs

Yeah, except that's not what they were called back then

There was no one around back then to call them anything, so I guess you're right.

No offense JS, but he answered this over a hundred posts ago. He gave his source, and it was himself. He exercised his God given right to examine the facts and form his own opinion. Move on for crying out loud. It's not funny any more - at least not in a way flattering to you.

He said he wasn't making it up, so you are wrong.

This is not funny at all. We have someone jumping onto this thread claiming to have outsmarted tens of thousands of biologist who have labored over a couple hundred years. He owes us more than figments of his imagination.

Meh. Some people are beneath caring about.

That might be an artists interpretation of what a Sphenosuchia looked like.

"Sphenosuchia is the name of the clade of crocodylians that first evolved.

They were small to medium sized terrestrial runners built similarly to greyhounds. They had a worldwide distribution during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic."

[drhogan]

the people who teach evolution in schools apparently don't do a very good job of it. if they cram it down people's throats with no evidence, they have failed as teachers.
however, the ineptness of teachers says nothing about the validity of the theory.

I hate handing out clues, but the hack seems to have conflated mutation with obvious, easily observed somatic change. Alligators have looked like alligators for a long tome: hence no mutations.

> The T Rex birth rate is too low to support Evolutionary arguments...

Indeed so. Because T-Rex has been extinct for 65 million years. Their birth rate is *ZERO* per year.

[drhogan]

new species of bacteria and viruses have emerged in your lifetime.

[drhogan]

also, when the big meteor hit the earth, it wiped out the factory in Iraq that made all the viagra. this led to a major fall-off in t-rex birthrate.

> For such an advanced and noble creature, its such a shock it didn't evolve the capability to survive the giant-fricken'-meteor-thing.

The dinosaurs went extinct because they did not have a space program. Every time a dinosaur tried to put forth a bill to fund the Dino Air and Space Administration, the other dinosaurs shouted him down with lines like "We still have problems here on Earth" and "That's not something the governemnt should be doing - leave it to private industry."

So, they went extinct. As well they should have.

But could they "fetch"? Looks like he would have made one heck of retriever during duck season!

[drhogan]

what about pit bulls?

[OmahaFields]

The T Rex birth rate is too low to support Evolutionary arguments of random mutations occuring fast enough to bring about species change.

Interesting. Can you provide a link? Thanks!

[ASA Vet]

[drhogan]

i think the confusion between mutation and selection is still going on here.

[ml1954]

Sorry is someone has already asked this... But, what species has someone claimed T Rex evolved into that you are disputing could not have occurred?

[js1138]

Oddly enough, when environmental change required T-Rex to change, it's rate of adaptation was too slow. :)

[js1138]

Did I really type "it's"?

[drhogan]

that's how these creationists win all the arguments: everyone else shoots themselves in despair, and a new species evolves: homo creationist!
