There'll be no citation, I assure you.
You were subtle. The problem with subtlety is too many of us learn only when a sledgehammer is applied to our cranium.
How long before they blame the Woolly Mammoth's extiction on Bush?
Commie and pinko judges.
Thanks!
Evolutionists would make more sense, but they say that wooly mammoths have been extinct for a trintillion skadillion years.
And we all know they've only been extinct for eleventy-papillion years.
A stuffed mammoth would look good next to my stuffed dodo bird. Except I'd have to bust down a wall and kick my wife out of her craft room to make space. Maybe if she sat on top of the mammoth and did her crafts...
The standard for evidence must be formidable in Alabama.
I predict this will be mammoth thread.
It's Bush's fault placemarker
"...OK...but for what purpose? Is there a big demand for Mammoths out there?..."
I'd like to have a pet mammoth.
In Alabama the tusks are loosa.
No one ever said that mammoths have been extict for billions of years - or millions of years. We have always known that mammoths existed until a man hunted them to extinction after the last ice age.
You are obviously confusing mammoths with dinosaurs - that HAVE been extinct for millions of years.
Why?
If you're going to try to "refute" evolution, it might be helpful to at least read an elementary school textbook on the subject. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Here's a hint for free: Because a species is extinct doesn't mean that it went extinct millions of years ago. The dodo hung around long enough for European explorers to see them in the New World. The passenger pigeon and the Carolina parakeet were around long enough for my grandfather to see them.
That mammoths coexisted with humans is not controversial. There is abundant evidence (ooooh, that word) of mammoths hunted and butchered by humans. It is fairly widely accepted that hunting by humans played a role in their extinction, but how great of a role is still the subject of debate.
The fact that you were heretofore ignorant of these facts does not make them new, and certainly doesn't poke any holes in a body of science that was aware of them long ago. Your own ignorance doesn't make much of an argument.
Everyone says that until they have to change the litter box.
It's Cheney's pacemaker's fault.
Who let creationists loose in court anyway?
Perhaps he meant "lose in court". In which case the explanation (in the case of Dover) might be that the creationists were repeatedly caught telling demonstrable lies.
Or I suppose it could have been the (GWB appointed republican) commie pinko judge never giving the righteous a chance.
Or maybe it was when the star ID witness said that ID has the same scientific justification as astrology, and that it would be OK to teach that God might be dead in science-class.
I wonder what any of this has to do with an interesting mammoth story?
