UC Berkeley scientists, digging deep into a remote New Mexico hillside, have discovered a trove of fossil bones that they say is evidence that dinosaurs and their early relatives lived side by side for tens of millions of years before the relatives slowly died off and left the dinosaurs to dominate the ancient world.
Until now many scientists had thought that dinosaur "precursors" -- perhaps their ancestors -- disappeared suddenly long before the dinosaurs themselves rose to prominence, but the bones dug up by Berkeley paleontologists show evidence of a different story.
The discovery of a wide variety of creatures all mingled together in layer upon layer of rocks dating from Earth's late Triassic period between 235 million and 200 million years ago, they say, shows that the strange relatives of the dinosaurs remained on the scene while the dinosaurs evolved into truly dominant creatures during the Jurassic period, between 120 million and 200 million years ago.

How about the process of observation? Everyday you wake up and observe a creation. The mere fact that a creation is observable dictates that it must have a creator.
You were just being silly....weren't you?
2525?
You are assuming that what is isn’t simply what is. Calling it “creation” compels you to think of it as having been created.
If man is still alive.
Very good point. I take it a step furthur, not everything God left us to learn of his works was written in a book.
If he wanted it so easy he would never have given us such minds as these.
LOL!
It ceases to be science however, when it becomes a pathetic attempt to discredit the work of the origional author.
The concept of evolutionary theory (which is theory, not science) could possibly be used explain ONE mystery in which the odds of the impossible happening accidentally despite science dictating that the odds of that happening evenONCE is uncalculable, but the theory falls flat when it's used to claim that it happened not only once despite impossible odds, but millions of times over.
That should tell any sane person that the theory is flawed. In fact, in the real world of serious science, with the discovery of just how complicated and ordered the nature of life is, is what is causing many real scientists to turn away from these evolutionary theories, and state that these complex libraries of life found even in the simplest of cells, can only be by design, not accident.
If you believe this story of human and "dinosaurs" co-existing, You have to then ask yourself why these "dinosaurs" didn't go and die in the dinosaur death pits which all the rest of the trillions of dinosaurs that had to have roamed this earth were programed to do, since that is the only explanation that can account for all the oil fields we are tapping into for "fossil fuel".
Of course, it seems only western Europe and Americans still believe the 200 year old -with absolutely no proof at all- fossil fuel from rotting dinosaurs theory, despite the fact that oil contains no biological components at all except what is present as a contaminant. Real scientists have moved beyond that old theory, and have discovered that oil is produced much deeper in the earth than previously thought, from a non-organic process that is happening continously in the areas where the right conditions and material exist. In fact this knowledge has been used to discover new reserves of oil in places never though possible to be a location where oil might be found. But you can continue believing that oil is made from dinosaurs and tiny little sea creatures if you like. But you will never be able to explain how these components got to such depths, unless you accept catastrophic events, which then starts to unravel all the other evolotionary theories.
I see.....well, what do you call it then?
Yeah, damn scientists sacrificing fame and fortune for the sake of the cover-up. I hate when that happens.
What creation is that? If you're referring to the sun coming up, that is because our Earth revolves along its axis every 24 hours, and when our side of the planet revolves toward the sun, it appears to rise in the sky.
The physics of our solar system are explained by verifiable scientific proof, not a mythic God who rides the sun across the sky. Most of us have an understanding of the universe that has evolved since the Bronze Age.
“Another bogus story designed to test our faith. The earth is only 9,000 years old.”
Please stop joking about things like that, you make Christians sound stupid.
You should study radiometric dating so you know what you are talking about.
The half life of carbon 14 is not millions of years; it is 5,730 ± 40 years. Carbon 14 dating is not used to determine the age of the earth, nor anything past about 50,000 years ago.
I find it amusing that many people are certain that carbon 14 dating, and other forms of radiometric dating, are absolutely wrong without knowing anything about the techniques or the science upon which they are based.
“What about light from stars that are tens of thousands of light years away. If the universe is only 6000 years old, how did that light get here?”
Lies. Lies made up by evil demon filled atheists.
(sane Christian sarcasm)
The universe. That probably isn’t any more accurate either, in that it implies that it is all one (uni) thing.
Sometimes I’ll refer to all of creation ;^) as a polyverse or multiverse to include other universes that aren’t part of the one (?) we see.
I am in agreement 1000% with you.
You'll provide us with a link to who said that of course... Na I didn't think so.
But maybe you'll explain why the moon only has deep craters on it facing earth that could only have been created by objects originating from earth. Of course there are other interesting moon facts that make evolutionists stutter and stammer in search of some real science to explain these things, wheras science can easily explain them from a creationist point of view.
Actually, I wasn't referring to the Sun coming up....but that would be part of it. I was speaking of the universe and every observable thing in it.....a creation.
By the the way.....I am not of the belief it is only 6000 years old. I believe perhaps.... it is billions of years old....but, it is still a creation.
So you'll be posting what that evidence is, right?
I didn't think so, because there is no actual evidence, only theories, and calculus aimed at arriving at a pre-determined conclusion.
And thinking of it as a creation, forces one to assume there is a Creator.
