Do the math: T. rex is found in the late Maastrichtian of the latest late Cretaceous, which ended +/- 65MYA. Neanderthal is found in the Pleistocene of the Tertiary, and Cro Magnon is found in the Pleistocene of the Tertiary and Holocene of the Quaternary. Neanderthal is found beginning at +/- 100KYA, and Cro Magnon at 40KYA to present (Cro Magnon is AKA Homo sapiens sapiens, otherwise called US).

Care to tell me where those numbers come from?

65 million years ago, is that a guess?, is it a theory?? Or is there some proof of this dating?

What if I said, nope not 65mya, 650 bya, how would you prove me wrong? what if I said 6,000 years ago, could you prove me wrong with hard data?

But, of course you weren't there, nor was I but I have a book written by God, who was not only there, He recorded it for us. And I will jsust ahave to put my faith in the God's written word, the Bible over a flimsy out of thin air dating system on rocks.

I'll base what I believe about time on constants, such as the rate of decay of radioactive isotopes, so that's no guess. The ages of rocks can be determined with accuracy. As for the "650 billion years ago" that's a farcical attempt at argument. The Earth itself is only 4 billion years ago, give or take a few hundred thousand years. And as for the hard data to prove more than six thousand years ago, I point out Jericho.....continuously settled for 10,000 years. Chinese history dates back close to 6,000 years, and archaeologists have found traces of settlement in areas of China dating back 11,000 years.

Ever seen a trilobite fossil? Those critters existed 300 or so million years back. Ever hear of Mesosaurus? A little reptile from the Permian....found only in two places: Holland and Brazil. Care to explain how that little critter can be found in identical sediments on two different continents? Here's the tough part: You can't use ICS "interpretations" of the Bible and you can't use a deus ex machina. Give me a RATIONAL explanation for Mesosaurus. How about Edaphosaurus? Found in the red sandstones of the Permian Basin in Texas and in Czechoslovakia. Care to explain away that one? Try the therapsid series....found in the Karoo of South Africa and in parts of Russia. Give me an explanation that doesn't rely on a "great flood" or other form of catastrophism, since CATSATROPHES LEAVE GEOLOGIC EVIDENCE AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A GREAT FLOOD.
