Given the inerrancy of Holy Scripture, Chapters 4, 5 and 11 of the Book of Genesis are the best place to start for an answer to your question:

Note (Douay Rheims Version, Publisher Saint Benedict Press, Imprimatur James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899): “The Evangelist gives us rather the pedigree of Saint Joseph, than that of the blessed Virgin, to conform to the custom of the Hebrews, who in their geneologies took no notice of women, but as they were near akin, the pedigree of the one sheweth the other.”
—”The plural of “half” is “halves.”
FEAR NOT!
The grammar patrol keeps me on speed dial.
—”15 minutes could save you 110 million years in amber!”
Trusted for over ONE HUNDRED MILLION YEARS!

Today I saw a promo for the “final” Jurassic Park movie. Seems to me the last one ended with dinosaurs on the mainland. Will this follow that plot to it’s obvious conclusion. Lots of dead Americans? Or will this be some other plot?
Evolution is especially active when new habitats open up, and it is interactive. No horse evolution before there was grass evolution, etc.
The way things are going, I’m rooting for the dinosaurs.
It’ll show the dinos running wild in urban cores, vandalizing, occupying, and burning down everything except the major banks where the movie studio, producers, and actors keep thein ill-gotten gains.
Yes. Everyone but those who insist on misinterpreting Genesis...
