"In fact, science estimates mankind has less than 1% of all knowledge."

That's hillariously arrogant. Seriously, the implications of this statement are astounding.
First off, what is "ALL KNOWLEDGE"?
And how can we "estimate" that we have 1% of it?

And what is 1% of infinity? IE, who can know the mind of God?

"So the consensus seems to be that this is not specifically T-Rex but likely an ancestor of T-Rex"

Even though it is in every way a T-Rex by appearance.

And they wonder why most people laugh at their pronouncements!

How is that for covering the problem as a whole and yet individually as a whole??

um... confusing?

"It presents no conundrum. Science has no 100% reliable way of telling the age of fossils. To say otherwise is beyond risible at this point."

But the evos don't accept your view.

Well, since the insertion of the word “ancestor” is arbitrary, and not sopported by any evidence, they are indeed “lying” by using the term.

Is that what you were getting at?

It is indeed very easy to explain, but the science of erosion an redeposition is far beyond your mental capabilities.

So a fossil is always correlated to the era of the strata in which it is embedded, except when it doesn't fit the evolutionary presupposition. In that case it is obviously an example of erosion and redeposition.

Okay, I get it. Kind of like, "heads I win, tails you lose." I've always liked that kind of scientific proposition.

No just been reading too much MSM crap and the mind is circling around what ever subject is at hand. So idea goes straight to action and very little thought is allowed!! The amount of MSM crap need to reach this point is so small you need to use a electron microscope to even be able to tell if there is even the smallest amount possible to be detected.

"Micro-evolution represents a loss of information - not a gain."

You are confusing Shannon (Information Theory) Entropy with Microevolution as characterized by minor changes over a relatively limited number of generations (i.e.; resulting from mutation, natural selection, artificial selection, gene flow and genetic drift). Microevolution is a loss in the fidelity of the transmission of the original data, but the resultant may contain a higher data content.

Ah, I read the IBD, Freerepublic, and listen to talk radio for my information. We haven’t turned on the TV for a year other than to watch a DVD...

So, I guess I’m unpolluted.

“So a fossil is always correlated to the era of the strata in which it is embedded”

Wrong.

The shear ignorance of your post astounds me. If “Dino” died by falling into a cravase of older rock, or was burried in an avalanche of much older rock, what do you think the “strata test” would show?

How convenient, they actually found a well preserved photo of the dino!

This propaganda is outrageous. Do you really subscribe to it?

A similar situation was used to “disprove” the archeology/history of the Bible.

Come to find out, the artifacts that were in an “older” layer was simply due to people burying their garbage instead of leaving it out on the ground.

Also not to be discussed in detail is the idea of redepositation. It has never been observed, nor the conditions that would allow for it been defined and therefore also exists only as the imaginary fairy tale.

But but but the rocks are all supposed to be the same age as the fossils they are found in therefore the crevasse could not be older than the age the dinosaur was living in.

Otherwise the dating of fossils by the age of the rocks and the dating of the rocks by the type of fossils found in them would be WRONG!

What you need to do is find a dino with cancer then you can *prove* that dinosaurs lived 350 years ago.

So then you could take say a population of dogs - say full-bred rat terriers - and turn them back into wolves. Given enough time of course.

Many, Many good articles discussing exactly this.

Too bad you’re too closed minded to accept the obvious processes of nature.

I stand corrected, there is a third possibility: Heads I win, tails you lose, and whether heads or tails you still lose.

You are certainly willing to consider any number of theories about this issue, except, perhaps that you might be wrong.

I have personally observed and documented this process.

You are just too closed minded or ignorant to accept it.
