Interesting story...

 

[Master Baiter]

Are you just setting yourself up for ridicule, or what?!?

 

[milagros317]

It was very lucky for us (mammals). 😀

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

At least they're not blaming this one on The Giant Clam!

If there was a God, he was surely pissed right off that day.

Well that absolutely unequivically undoubtedly solves it then.

Of course it does, cause scientists are always right even when they disagree!

Just an example of how disputes are resolved in science. There were a couple of different competing theories on the K-T extinction event, and evidence has finally settled the contest. But I figured some would understand this to mean science "reversing" itself or something similar.

I don't think I was talking about philosophy or religion. But I admit I didn't think you'd start a thread about something just didn't matter to you. In fact I thought you called the subject "Interesting."

I am petitioning for an Asteroid Appreciation Day as a new holiday...because we would not be here if not for the MIGHTY ASTEROID!!!

I'm wrestling with a real mystery: How could Great Cthulhu sleep in R'lyeh for the last 300 million years, when the entire seafloor from 300 million years ago has disappeared through subduction?

Now that'll keep a person up nights thinking.

I should have been more clear...I did find it interesting that they finally came to a conclusion...

I do not however think it matters much....the d's died out and thus we live....whatever the reason...

So no, it doesnt matter to me really that theyve have gone back and forth over the cause for so many years...

I just found it interesting with no underlying motives...had i had any I would have posted it in P & R so the piranna could shred each other to bits over it while the others sat back and laughed, but I was not in that mind set. today..

My entire understanding of dinosaurs is slowly becoming more and more clear with each passing day:
