What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs?
Um... According to the Right Winger Creationists... they went on Noah's Arc.  



Anyone remember Jurassic Park? Hard to imagine a pair of T-Rex a pair of
Velociraptors and a pair of goats all surviving on Noah's Arc.  

The Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period) and Box is trying to get them on Noah's Ark.

Nope!  Not me.  I'm a science guy... it's the Rabid Right Creationists who are pushing the Noah's Arc
Dogma.

The only thing we need to know about dinosaurs is that they died and their carcasses, along with loads of other biomass material,  were squeezed by 10s of thousands of years of earth's pressure into fossil fuels that we should be drilling for EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE that we can find it, and the using those fuels to drive our cars and trucks, heat our homes, generate electricity and every thing else that the petrochemical industry can think of to use that "black gold" for.

On the other side of the isle, I see Tawana Brawley is getting her wages garnished to finally start paying damages to Steven Pegones for ruining his reputation as well as his marriage with her fairy tale story of rape and racism with co-conspirators Al Sharpton and his band of now discredited attorneys...
Just goes to show you there are kooks on both wings...

I'm amazed!

Now for some FACTS:

Quoted Text

There are no dinosaurs in oil. Some dinosaurs may have rotted and made natural gas.
The probability of a large body of a dinosaur not decaying upon burial due to the actions of
bacteria is extremely low. The organic material that makes oil has to be preserved from
bacterial action by lack of oxygen in the sediment where it is buried, and a large body
like a dinosaur would already have bacteria in it that would decompose it immediately
upon death.

Oil is generated from the remains of microscopic plants and animals, called
phytoplankton and zooplankton.

I love Box's "facts".  "May" have made natural gas...And "probability is extremely low".  No room for questions there - JUST FACTS!LOL

Ken Ham is like an unsavory politician. He says different things to different audiences, pandering to constituencies for his own personal gain!!!!! Just like our sleezy left and right wing government!!!

I'm amazed!

Now for some FACTS:

First - you really don't have a sense of humor .. sad but true.

Second - SOME fossil fuel may have come from dinosaurs ... or it may not have.  Some may have come from tiny  marine plants and animals that lived millions of years ago ... or it may not have.  Scientists, themselves, are still arguing this point because they really don't know all the answers.

For one thing, their weren't enough dinosaurs or even those tiny marine plants and animals to actually physically account for the all of the known fossil fuel reserves around the world.  

For another, fossil fuel deposits have been found well below where dinosaur or marine plant and animal remains would have been left -- so where did that oil and other fossil fuels come from?

Bottomline, I was making a point.  I really don't give a hoot what happened to the dinosaurs.  However, I am concerned where our nation's energy supply is and will come from, and I think we should exploit the fossil fuel resources that we have WHEREVER we find them.

Sorry dude, but he's correct.
Do you have any idea of how many dinosaurs it would have taken to create the massive amount of oil that exists below the earth's surface?
Their population would have had to be more dense than that of insects.
By the way, there would have had to be over 3 million species of insects on that arc as well.


Besides, the dinosaurs pretty much all decayed on the surface.

Yeah, yeah, I know, they died in the tar pits.
So where did the tar pits come from, dinosaurs?

I was just pointing out that box posts statements with words that leave room for questioning like "may" and "low probability" and calls it fact.  It makes me laugh, because he starts a thread mocking a religious theory about dinosaurs, and then posts a scientific theory about the origins of oil and calls it fact.  

Believing either of the theories as fact is just faith.  Some people worship science some people worship a god.  Some people worship neither.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAURS????
They became our Political leaders in SCHDY and ROTTERDAM, and one of them is on the planning committee!!!!

bottom line here is that boxy hand picked Ham, who is looked at as your basic politician...not a religious zelot...nor even creditable!! again.....Ham says different things to different audiences, pandering to constituencies for his own personal gain!!!!! Just like our sleezy left and right wing government

Typical elitist academic... Telling you how you should think about the world and raise your kids...
