Could be. I believe early mammals did coexist with dinosaurs.
It’s good to see fundamentalists start to embrace science.
Actual (falsifiable) science does not contradict the Bible in any way.
Ummmm. Read the article:
From the quoted LiveScience article:
“A 4-inch-long (10 cm) track belonging to the raccoon-size mammal is the largest mammal print from the Cretaceous on record. Its size is surprising, given that most dinosaur-age mammals were the size of squirrels or prairie dogs, the researchers said.”
Coppedge comments on that statement:
“Why not ask, “Were these creatures scrambling to get away from muddy water surging in, that covered their tracks before they could be eroded? That could explain the lack of overlap and the absence of bones of the animals. The animals were swept away by the surge, but the tracks were instantly covered. Once again we see evolutionists surprised to find good-sized mammals with dinosaurs.”
Of course they did. They didn't just spring up out of thin air. Some simply survived whatever did in most of the dinosaurs. We have a good handle on where birds come from (BADD theory). Plus crocs and gators hung on but did change some.
Actually, protomammals preceded the rise of the dinosaurs. Known as Therapsids they existed in large numbers and varieties but their numbers were reduced by the Permian-Triassic great extinction event. In the Triassic the dinosaur family began to expand in size and variety. More Therapsids were killed off by the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. Then the dinosaurs got really big, and mammals continued to evolved but hid from the big dinosaurs, getting their big chance when the end Cretaceous event killed off the dinosaurs. Without the competition, mammals then grew bigger than elephants, small like shrews, and everything in between. Canine mammals did not evolve or transition from dinosaurs. Mammals and dinosaurs both evolved in separate branches from the therapsid line. Mammals were only able to dominate after the dinosaurs were gone.
