They got so big eating little people.

It is amazing how much time some humans waste saying totally idiotic things which indicate that they haven't a clue that biology research isn't an attempt "to try and disprove the existence of the Creator", and that evolution is not incompatible with belief in God: The *majority* of Americans who accept the validity of evolution are Christians.

Well said. Insecurity takes many forms......

Yep...usually researchers are a bit kinder to each other. He could have said that "...the examples they used for comparisons may not have been the best choice." Or something like that...but who knows? There may have been some history between them.

I don't know if I missed it or not but did they extract any DNA samples? It looks like there are are a nice amount of teeth to work with.

It seems to me it would end at least some of the basic controversy.
