New Dinosaur Species Found in India

They're only running from God,

You are mistaken, but that's a common misbelief for some reason I have yet to figure out.

Oh, that's an easy one to understand. It's a throwaway line, like, "Republicans are the party of the rich!" or "People who are against the War on Drugs just want to get high!", or, "Americans are just imperialists who want to take over the world!", or "All gun owners want to do is kill!"

Making sweeping generalizations about one's opponents saves one the trouble of actually understanding what they think, and why they think as they do.

Again, I haven't studied that one, but the evidence that dinosaurs have existed more recently than the column suggests is there. Just theorizing here, but it could simply be that the Mammoths and the dinosaurs preferred different climates or regions. In creation science, the climate of the earth pre-flood and post-flood are two different things. Before the flood, the climate was probably pretty comforable all over the planet. After the flood, there were colder and warmer regions and species either adapted to their new climate or died off. Mammoths and elephants being so similar, perhaps some settled in northern regions and with the ice age did not survive, and some settled in southern regions and adapted to the climate (as in Africa).

[DittoJed2]

Incorrect. A mammoth was found in Newark, Ohio- Ohio being a prime area for Trilobites.

I also hope you understand that finding a mammoth fossil and a hadrosaur fossil in the same state (say, California) is not the same as finding a hadrosaur and a mammoth fossil in the same strata.

Smoked head cheese in a hog bung casing?

I keep hoping that someone from the Evolution camp will bring issues of non-compliance from their own side.

As a point of information, I was trying to think of a polite way of mentioning this. But since I can't think of any way to do it without ruffling feathers, let me say...I am more than a little disappointed.

A scab won't heal, folks, if you keep picking at it. To those in the Evo camp who are continuing to argue legalistic minutiae, I say...Knock it off!

'Nuff said???

[Physicist]

Truth be told, I see no problem whatsoever. I myself disagree with it, but the poster stated his opinion politely, and he's entitled to it.

[Right Wing Professor]

Ohio being a prime area for Trilobites.

Sorta like Europe being a prime area for Bulgarians.

Incorrect. A mammoth was found in Newark, Ohio- Ohio being a prime area for Trilobites.

How old is Ohio? Do you understand the fallacy of the argument you are making here?

[DittoJed2]

Incidentally, if you are referring to layer, trilobites were sea creatures (interesting they are found in great numbers in Ohio) and Mammoths were land. Trilobites would naturally be at a bottom layer while mammoths would be higher up since the trilobite was already in the water.

Before the flood, the climate was probably pretty comforable all over the planet.

But wouldn't this imply, by your own argument, that dinosaurs and mammoths/elephants would have lived together and therefore have been fossilised in the same strata during the Flood?

[DittoJed2]

Ohio is approximately 4,500 years old, thank you.

Knocking it off is much worse than picking at it.

Truth be told, I see no problem whatsoever.

Well, I do see a problem with telling a whole class of people that they are not welcome. And I therefore find that the response ---> Free speech is a problem for you. You should start your own discussion club in your closet where it's relatively safe. to be justified.

So all the marine-environment layers of the geologic column (that thing that doesn't exist) lie below all the land-environment layers?

[DittoJed2]

I didn't say that. The geological column is frequently not in the right order.

[Right Wing Professor]

Before the flood, the climate was probably pretty comforable all over the planet.

So the annual variations seen in samples of Greenland ice, which date back to at least 50,000 BC and can be correlated with known historical events like volcanic eruptions, arose how?

[Ichneumon]

I didn't say that. The geological column is frequently not in the right order.

Please define the "right" order, and contrast it with your explanation of what would be the "wrong" order.

[DittoJed2]

You are assuming they are annual. That is a wrong assumption.
