Scientists Retrieve Proteins From Dinosaur Bone

How did dying dinosaurs evolve into *anything* in the brief moments after the “asteroid” hit?!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Summary:

There is a lot of fraud masquerading as scientific research.

There is a lot of atheist religion masquerading as scientific research.

I don’t like paying taxes to teach students faux science/religion of atheism.

If it’s hypothesis, I want it clearly identified as such.

The protein that could not exist has been extracted...

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Apparently just before the mega-asteroid hit (in such a manner as to not send the earth spiraling into the sun), the dying dinos laid millions of eggs, which were shielded tenderly from the harsh elements by seasoned warrior cockroaches.

These eggs hatched and the newborns were so fit that they were able to survive an environment of rotting predator and prey megacarcasses and the swarms of flies and scavengers that arose from them by spontaneous generation.

In the midst of this drama, two of the eggs (WARNING: MOVIE PLOT SPOILER) mathematically are destined to hatch as another species, (the long lost Lance Link, Secret Chimp) and are destined (but only mathematically) to find each other during their lifetime. Wonderfully, they DO safely hatch, meet, fall in love (or is it just a Darwinian survival urge for immortality?) and the lovebirds (not their scientific name) have a procreative moment...and voila! here we are!



I suppose I should note that this is SARCASM....

Sir, I don't understand that sentence. Please do us the favor of writing it in English.

These things are bound to happen. I mean, think about it, some assumptions must be made. You wouldn't ask a fish what time it is and expect to understand the fish's response.

[null and void]

To eat on the other side!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

In memory of the late great Johnny Hart, that fish exists and its Latin name is Dorsalecti Illusivi...

I like the part about the cockroaches. It’s the adverb, “seasoned” warrior cockroaches, that really makes the description soar.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Is this the one that had femoral material that was demineralized and the spongy tissues thought to be marrow and blood? That one was supposed to be the oldest T-Rex ever found - dated near 75 million years (zzzzzz). Sure stood the paleontologists on their ears.

[FixitGuy]

“Why did the T-Rex cross the road?”

To show the racoon, the skunk the groundhog, the deer and the possum that it could be done.

Ditto that Bump

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Trust me when I tell ya, those cockroaches wouldn’t have survived a DAY more than 140 million consecutive years without a rigorous training and mentoring program...now available online for immediate download from Nightingale-Conant....

[RunningWolf]

Maybe T Rex is not nearly as old as they say he is.

[Tax-chick]

LOL! I almost wish you had illustrations, even though bugs give me nightmares.

We used to go to the State Fair in Oklahoma, and one of the university biology departments would bring collections of creepy stuff to show to children. There was a Habitrail full of giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, but I couldn’t look at them.

However, my youngest daughter, who was about two at the time, wanted to hold each one. The student would hand her one, and she would pat it, talk to it, and give it a name, and then she would hand it back and say, “’Nother buggie, please!”

[RunningWolf]

Since the supposed ‘conditions’ are unknown, were this really science, the model predicting long-ages would be brought into question. Since the model is a metaphysical belief, the belief is preserved and an appeal is made to unknown ‘conditions’.

Good Post Bump

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

In the book of Job, probably the oldest of the Biblical books, there are some very interesting animals referred to in the PRESENT tense....

And in other news, I want nonstop searches on Ararat until the Ark is found!

[editor-surveyor]

There will never be another like Johnny Hart!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

“There was a Habitrail full of giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches”

Did you post this on the wrong thread? It sounds like it belongs on the U.N. Security Council thread....

[xedude]

“The *fact* is that proteins were found where they shouldn’t be. Now, the ‘interpretation’ is that proteins can be preserved *because* the assumption of long-ages must be preserved at all costs.”

Who says they shouldn’t be there? You? It might be surprising to find something like that, but it’s not impossible. There’s no need to invoke some conspiracy based on non-science.

[Tax-chick]

LOL! That’s a classic.
