But with us, we have all the time in the world, and enough money to cover us, whatever we want to do...we are newly retired, and have our new RV(our home on wheels), ready to accomodate us, wherever and whenever we decide...

After spending a lifetime working, raising a family, and all that entails, we are now able to do things at our leisure...clocks and time no longer have much meaning for us...

So when we do get to Florida, we plan to spend a couple of months there, looking at anything and everything that Florida offers...we dont have to come back to our regular home until we feel like we are good and ready to do so..

So the Dinosaur Adventure Land is going to be seen by us eventually...I will make sure of that...and I will make sure to have plenty of pics to post, and a journal of my adventures in the Dinosaur Adventure Land...A first hand account of my trip....

Hey Ichneumon,

A few posts upthread was mentioned Mount DNA (mtDNA). By any chance, do you know where this mountain is. I always thought it is in Washington State. I can almost swear it's in Washington. Can you confirm it?

Geography is not my forte, btw, and a whole other subjects. :)

mtDNA = mitochondrial DNA

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, or less popularly, mDNA) is DNA which is not located in the nucleus of the cell but in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are parts of the cell that generate fuel in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which drives the varied machinery of the cell. Unlike most of the cell, the function of which is defined by the nuclear DNA, the mitochondria have their own DNA and are assumed to have evolved separately. Human mitochondrial DNA consists of 5-10 rings of DNA and appears to carry 16,569 base pairs with 37 genes (13 proteins, 22 tRNAs and two rRNAs) which are concerned with the production of proteins involved in cellular respiration. Source

See also Mitochondrial DNA Clarifies Human Evolution By Max Ingman for some details.

Online evolutionists are cowards and will never apologize nor allow dissent. Face-to-face, it's a different matter. Heck, they won't even acknowledge they belong to the evo cult face-to-face. But just in case they did, they'll either apologize or run away with the tail between their cultist legs.

No we don't run. Our dark robes are too restricting. We prefer to disapear as a bus goes past, or failing that a light jog does the trick.

Perhaps you'll get to meet Hovind himself. What a thrill that would be! (Clutch your purse tightly if he walks in your direction.)

There were doubts earlier, but those sources were in an isolated minority at the time.

I don't agree. Marcellin Boule, for instance, is one of those who early on accepted the skull as human but rejected the jaw as that of an ape. He was probably the world's leading physical anthropologist at the time. If he was part of "minority" (and I don't think it is entirely clear that he was) then it certainly wasn't an "isolated" one.

Personally I think Piltdown was in real trouble early on, and I think the hoaxer intentionally engineered the second Piltdown find specifically to quell the growing criticism. He was successful. One association of human cranial and ape jaw material might be attributed to chance, but two could not be.

You were more interesting when you were pushing for evolutionists to be burned at the stake.

"And, indeed, it is a blight on the evolutionist's conscience science."

Sorry! Absent-mindedness. Here come the personal attacks...

And you obviously have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to me...perhaps you are projecting about your own inner spiritual void...that is what you should be concerned about...

Worry about yourself, and let others worry about themselves..

How long do you think you can walk like a duck, quack like a duck, and look like a duck before somebody notices?

Is that how you do your science as well? Do you have a preconceived notion of what you "want" your results to look like and therefore all of your observations point you to that conclusion.

How so very scientific of you and as many of those cut from your mold (since I can't use "ilk" anymore) you are..... 100% wrong....

You can attempt to force me into one of you boxes but I refuse to be hammered.... secular skeptic is cute but not even close....

If you can see endorsement of Hovind in 445 then you probably need to seek treatment for your myopia...

Wrong agin...

Yes you are

Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus / A. ajax and B. excelsus / are not different enough to warrant two different genera (but different enough to warrant two different species), and so B. excelsus was lumped into Apatosaurus.

Your point being?


What that Cretan Paul S. Taylor dosen't realize (or is more likely lying about) it that "brontosaurus" = Apatosaurus. They are one and the same. It's like "buffalo"/bison

Because Brontosaurus excelsus is similar to Apatosaurus ajax it is now classed as Apatosaurus excelsus.

Do I have to point ot the analogus realitionship of the "buffalo" Bison bison with Bison bonasus. "Buffalo" are bison. "Brontosaurus" is an apatosaur.

Oh, I am all-a-twitter...I might see the man himself...

I will of course, hold tightly onto my purse...all he will get from me is the 7 dollar entrance fee...I doubt that my husband will go in...he does not suffer fools lightly, especially when they have their hand in his wallet..

Let's see. We've had a creationist claim that there are "500 theses" written on Piltdown Man. When pressed to support the claim, the creationist blustered and blathered but did not offer one single reference. Mind explaining how that makes us cowards, or are you just lying again?

First off I didn't not advocate burning evo cultists at the stake. Nor do I advocate it now. Geez! I made an allusion to it.

Secondly, I've softened a bit. LOL!

If there were something like "Credentials by Association" I'd have 3 Nobels.
