The Burden Of Being A Republican

No, Dinosaurs definitely roamed the land. The amount of time is just a WAG though. (wild ass guess).

Do you know how they calculate 150 million years ?
First, they find some bones in the ground. Then they try to calculate the age of rocks around the bones. How do you do that.

This is the problem.

ON old stuff, they use radiometric dating. They look at a material in the rock that breaks down into another compound. Like uranium 235 turns into something like uranium 232 and lead. the problem is they have to guess what was in there in the first place.

In laymen's terms, You find a glass of water in the parking lot that is half full. If you know that it evaporates at the rate of 1/2 inch per day, how long has it been sitting there ? If you assume it was full when it started, you get one answer. If it was only 60% full at the beginning you get a different answer. If it rained you a totally different answer. Now they take all three answers and throw out the ones that do not fit with the theory of evolution.

they have dated lava rocks at the bottom of the Colorado river to be only 5 milion years old. But they have dated rocks at the top of the valley to be 100 million years old. In Hawaii, they have dated recent lava flows (2 months easrlier) to be 175 million years old. How you say, because of the assumptions that are made as to what was in the lava. Like the glass of water, If it started out half full, it would have just been place there. But if you assumed it had been full to start with, then you might have guessed a week or two.

so don't always believe what you hear.
Check it out a little more.

Gotta go workout

with my boy.

good night.

no offense intended to any other sort of theory. . . . . .

I'm still stickin' with the alien invasion/penal colony theory for human development.

If exile was good enough for all of our ancestors, it's good enough for all the ET's who flew by, zapped the dinos and dropped their unsavory reject beings here to feed off each other. Shoot - didn't the Brits settle Australia by droppin' convicts there?

I believe the universe was created. . .that means all the heavens and the planets, and not just as a project for a cosmic school. At one time, all the peoples of the universe lived in harmony..no one killed or maimed or screamed hell and damnation, but everyone knew they weren't spozed to bring nobody any bad news, either. Of course, there was one renegade species. . .one group that seemed to lag behind all the others in embracing the natural spiritual ideals of peace and harmony and cooperation. They would mingle with the other races but were spiteful and often apt to openly pinch a loaf on the purity of others, so they had to be sent away. If you told them NOT to do something, you can bet that within a cosmic day they had managed to not only do it anyway, but start a festival to celebrate their defiance.

Since the more civilized species knew they could not kill others or develop britney spears music or McDonaldLand palaces that would relate to the outcasts, they sent the misfits to the other end of the universe, knowing chances were higher that we'd kill each other off or bomb each other back into the stone age so often that we'd likely never discover where we came from. . .or find our way home again.

So bein' the race of people who couldn't kill others or make britney spears music, they had to keep us alive, so they made this climate-controlled planet with just enough stuff to give us a chance to chart our own destiny...

As time evolved and we managed just a tiny hint of civilized behavior, we became like a tourist destination...er...maybe like a giant planetary zoo. But the aliens, knowing they could not completely reveal themselves without completely altering their pledge to let the misfits seek their own identity and destiny, appear infrequently, conducting experiments and testing our telepathic abilities in communication. In return, they gave us things like GameBoy technology, Twinkies, and fast-food and to see how we'd react to an easier life in captivity. It has been rumored that they are the ones who, while not allowed to harm us, play many tricks on our lives just to test our reflexive abilities and keep us thrown off-track. For example, they painted a huge picture on the far face of the moon, only to wipe just enough of it out of the way so that our spacecraft, on closer examination, could no longer know it was them. They play a form of intergalactic ..well...like carnival games, tossing comets and meteorites at the planet to see if one will hit...

They are still glad that we are millions of light-years away. . .

Can't we all just get along?

If we all got along the weapons manufacturers wouldn't be able to drum up any business.

That's the best theory I've heard in a while. You must have been on mushrooms to come up with that one
