There'll be no citation, I assure you.

Unless it's from Hovind.

I've heard Wooly Mammoths aren't gay.

I'm not sure whether this "sitting judge in Alabama" is A) an honest and earnest idiot, 2) delusional, or III) a parody/troll. All three are so abundant on the 'Net that it's hard to tell any more.

I don't think an organism that has been extinct for 27,000 years could live outside a bubble.

Interesting place. Apparently, it was a wallow hole for both Columbian and Woolly mammoths, but only for the boys.

That explains the extinction part.....

They live in New York.

--First evolutionist said that the mammoth has been extinct for billions of years, then it was millions of years and now it is but 27,000 years--

What evolutionist ever said that. Wooly mammoths likely evolved from an ancestory similar to the Asian elephant, to which they are most closely related, and migrated northwards during the Pleistocene (approximately 2 million to 10,000 years ago). IIRC mammoths survived until roughly 10,000 years ago, at least in North America and/or Siberia.

The evolutionist that this poster made up out of whole cloth.

Besides, we all know that the Wooly Mammoth has only been extinct for 1/2000 of a picosecond.

My cattle dog wants one to hang off but I don't know what Mammoths eat. And how high does my fence need to be. I'm thinking Laz will know :-)

So man and mammoth walked the earth together, wow, Dawin must be rolling over in his grave.

One would have thought even creationists had heard that stone-age humans made cave paintings of mammoths. As the great philosopher Homer Simpson would put it, DOH!

OK...but for what purpose? Is there a big demand for Mammoths out there?

Plinking?

You better check with your Home Owners Association. A Wooly Mammoth might be restricted in certain neighborhoods.

Still waiting for a citation of an evolutionist ever claiming that Mammoths went extinct "billions", or even "millions" of years ago.

Well, no matter what you believe in as far as how long they have been extinct, I hope they won't be extinct for that much longer, even if they are 50% mammoth and 50% elephant or whatever. If they could pull this off, they could really get kids back into science and math, something we need in this country.

"First evolutionist said that the mammoth has been extinct for billions of years, then it was millions of years and now it is but 27,000 years. "

Actually, that's incorrect. Mammoths have been known to have lived 20-30,000 years ago for a very long time. They did not live billions of years ago, and no paleontologist has ever said that they did.

If you're trying to discredit the Theory of Evolution, it's probably better if you work with factual information.
