Me too. All the dinosaurs I learned about, and the kits I put together as a boy, have been reclassified, retyped, renamed and studied, disproven and restudied to death.

It seems to me that each new generation of scientists just have to have something new to say and do about dinosaurs - methinks to get grant money for studies and field work.

My personal observation is that today's animal kingdom is comprised of herbivores, carnivores and combinations of the two. It seems logical that the dinosaur realm contained the same mix. Likewise, the appearance of the teeth, sharp vs molar-like advocates for the two groups. Look at cows' teeth and then go look at a Bengal Tiger's teeth.

And, yes, I know there is a difference between warm and cold blooded here, but I believe one can find the same support in today's reptilian world, too.

Horses and cows have teeth more like mine. They eat grass. but cows and cats have deep-rooted teeth.

Apparently the TR does not, from what I've heard. And the TR's are more like a razor blade. According to the dentist Martin, they are sharp and shaped perfectly for stripping leaves from trees, or cutting through very broad-leaved plant membranes.

Maybe they are just good for cutting off and swallowing flowers! (smile).

If someone told me: Prove those teeth were only good for what these paleontologists claim, only a predator (live flesh, limbs, tough), or a scavenger (rotted flesh, soft, mushy), both carnivores -- I wouldn't be able to do it with what I now know. I couldn't even say authoritatively that TRs are not herbivores, as the Bible claims all the first moving creatures were--fish, too, like carp, I suppose.

Scripturally, no death to start. Capisce?
