Modern snakes evolved from a few survivors of dino-killing asteroid

There are days I could go for that. :^)

[LouAvul]

Yeah, I read that comic too.

[SunkenCiv]

Aren’t ya bein’ kinda hard on the snakes?

[353FMG]

Most logical cause: climate change.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

When did they evolve into Democrats?

I understand as Primates we have a natural aversion to snakes but there is no reason to be so mean.

Snakes have a natural and useful function in nature.

DemonRATs ... not so much.

[SunkenCiv]

Yes, your post is yet another example of Total Buffoonery.

[SunkenCiv]

No, they didn’t. Most dinos died within hours or days of the strike, and no dino fossils are found above that intermediate layer. Period.

[Verginius Rufus]

No similarity to Democrats. Snakes eat rats. Democrats are Rats.

I saw a Modern snake this morning while walking on a trail--an eastern copperhead, a fairly large one. It was just minding its own business and didn't bother me, and I didn't bother it. Snakes play a useful role in the ecosystem. Just because one snake fooled Eve into eating the forbidden fruit doesn't mean all snakes are guilty.

Most dinos died within hours or days of the strike...

Most non-avian dinos died within hours of days of the strike...

The crafty ones will fall back on “Well, it’s not settled, but if we’re right, can we afford not to act?”

[SunkenCiv]

Good quibble.

[right way right]

I evolved into a horse.

[zeestephen]

Most snakes are carnivores.

That means their primary food source for several million years were those little muskrat thingies that human beings descended from.

[Bob434]

true- they have an answer for everything- it’s hard to pin down a snakes in the grass like climate alarmists are-

[PIF]

Again you are wrong on this point there are clearly dino fossils way after the 60my layer

[Clutch Martin]

So.... the son of the morning star was an asteroid?

Askin’ 4 a friend.

[kjam22]

Dinos did not die because of an asteroid. They drowned

Genesis 3:14

So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

So before this I think they used to hop around like pogo sticks....

[RetiredTexasVet]

Nothing scientific here. No one was around to provide first hand verification so it was a SWAG at best or aliens.

[SkyDancer]

I bet aliens.
