Evolutionists divided over coexistence of placental mammals and dinosaurs

If you can remember being taught as ‘fact’ that only small, ‘primitive’ mammals were around at the demise of the dinosaurs (supposedly 65 million years ago), because placental mammals1 didn’t evolve until afterwards, you’re not alone. There are many people who remember that. In fact, many textbooks still teach it.

However, if you’re aware that for some years now the evolutionary fraternity has shifted the existence of ‘modern’ mammals to overlap that of dinosaurs, then we would say that you are actually more evolution-savvy than some of today’s ‘authorities’ on evolution! We can point to a recent (January 2014) Nature News item, written by senior reporter Ewen Callaway, as an example of this.2

Its headline reads: “Debate over which mammals roamed with the dinosaurs: Genetic tree challenges fossil-based conclusion that placental mammals emerged only after mass extinction.”

RE :”You need to learn about the science of creation”

I have read many Creationist books written by creationists.
They prove that evolution couldn't have happened to humans because dinosaurs lived with people just a few decades ago.
Here's some scientific evidence Creationists recently unearthed from exactly 50 years ago in 1954 Japan.

"Any placental mammals around then would have been primitive creatures, not cows and lions and elephants."

A bold assumption ... See the video here for Ernest P. Worrell making the same logical mistake you just did.

I was thinking more like :

Proverbs 26:4-14 :4 When arguing with fools, don't answer their foolish arguments, or you will become as foolish as they are.

[MrB]

What is your authoritative source for defining a “fool”?

RE :”What is your authoritative source for defining a “fool”?

verb: fool; ‘trick or deceive (someone); dupe’.

Perfect Creationism acronym.

[MrB]

So your authoritative source is a dictionary.
Thanks.
Carry on.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”So your authoritative source is a dictionary.”

I am the authoritative source.

[MrB]

I am the authoritative source.

Yes, I thought as much. Carry on.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”Yes, I thought as much. Carry on. “

You are much more reasonable than I originally thought.

[MrB]

When someone is their own authority, there’s no further discussion necessary.

I was telling the truth, I have read a few Creationist books and they are poo-poo, not the least bit serious,.

That's not to say that I appreciate evolutionists who are arrogant enough to claim that something that may have happened millions of years ago is a 'fact'.

So the theory of evolution is correct. As Al Gore would say, “the science is settled.”

Correct?
What were you intending to communicate there?
