I think the story quotes “Haruo Saegusa, a curator at the Museum of Nature and Human Activities.” Maybe Haruo is wrong and it isn’t a T Rex tooth. But I think quoting an evolutionist and their conclusions is fair game. Haruo think its T Rex.
oops
The world is loaded with experts that know almost everything.
The problem is that inconvenient evidence constantly surfaces proving most of what they know is wrong.
From the article: "the teeth came from a 15-foot-tall dinosaur entombed in early Cretaceous rock, supposedly deposited 140 million years ago."
“If the rock that these T. rex fossil teeth was found in was indeed deposited during the year-long Noahic Flood, then it is easy to explain why a large dinosaur is found mixed in with smaller ones.”
Boy, you gotta love these hard-hitting scientific conclusions.
So on that apology.... he did say “if”, so it’s not an outright lie, but it is such an outrageous leap, and failure to utilize God-given faculties (assuming he has any) that I think you owe ME the apology.

Carnivorous dinosaur's teeth discovered
Published: June 21, 2009 at 12:51 PM
Museum officials in Japan say fossilized teeth from an ancestor of the tyrannosaurus have been found in the Hyogo Prefecture.
Museum of Nature and Human Activities officials said the teeth found in Tamba were inside strata thought to be up to 140 million years old, Kyodo reported Sunday.
Curator Haruo Saegusa said the fossils indicate the carnivorous dinosaur they came from was likely nearly 16.5 feet long.
Saegusa added if the fossils' age was similar to that of the strata it was discovered in, the finding would represent an early ancestor of the tyrannosaurus, the Japanese news agency said.
"If the dinosaur belongs to the same era as the strata, the tyrannosaurus could have started to grow larger much earlier than thought," Saegusa said.
Kyodo reported the tens of millions of years thought to separate the fossilized dinosaur from the later tyrannosaurus age may indicate the earlier dinosaur may have been evolving.
Exactly. Atheism and evolution are belief systems, essentially, and stem from more from psychology than science.
One thing I saw in Australia put evolution in doubt for me: The redback spider.
It’s nearly identical to the Black Widow spider, except instead of a red hourglass on the belly, there’s an almost perfect red square.
My bias is that I was raised a Christian, and I have zero scientific basis for declaring evolution as a theory is not valid, but I asked myself what the chances of this evolving by accident.
Why an hourglass, and why on another continent, a square?
I believe the world was created by God, which is to say I take it on faith, but have selected empirical evidence which tends to reinforce that belief. I would suspect the same is true for evolutionists.
The thing is, that as time goes by, science seems to support the idea of the existence of God, and tends to erode the theory that it was an accident. It’s just my observation.
Here's a link to another article, since the Ministry waited until the article they referenced expired before publishing their "news."
So the consensus seems to be that this is not specifically T-Rex but likely an ancestor of T-Rex, and that this shows that larger dinosaurs may have developed much earlier than previously thought.
Makes sense to me. Real scientific knowledge has the ability to adjust to change when new evidence is found. Too bad Algore can’t figure this out.
Obviously.
It presents no conundrum. Science has no 100% reliable way of telling the age of fossils. To say otherwise is beyond risible at this point.
No, no, no. Don't you see?
If it does harm to the ToE, it can't be *real* evidence, or a *real* evolutionist.
Nope. We just have to take the amazing, elastic ToE and stretch and twist it to accommodate the evidence that someone claims would disprove then ToE if it were found.
There will never be found ANY evidence found to disprove the ToE because evos won't allow it. Either it will be explained away, disallowed, or just plain disposed of.

Isn't lying a sin? Or is it OK when you're doing the Lord's work?
GMTA
Don't tell me that GGG is promoting ignorance again.
GGG is doing far more damage to religion than he is to science.
Aparently to the creationist, lying is one of the 10 commandments.
