One is a 70-million-year old quick-moving meat-eater found on the bottom of an Antarctic sea, while and the other is a 200-million-year-old giant plant-eater that was found on the top of a mountain, reports Reuters.

70 - 200 million years old??...It's so laughable that "scientist" put their religion over fact and their own scientific method and really BELIEVE that the earth is that old when all the known evidence points to about 6-7 thousand years.

The lost world in which these two dinosaurs lived was very different from the Antarctica we know now. Their Antarctica was not frigid and frozen. Their Antarctica was warm and wet.

Great find! The global warming NUTS who are so quick to attribute every 0.5 degree temperature increase (real or imagined) to industrialized MAN, will have a hard time spinning this one!

Atkinsaurus?

Interesting...So does it follow that the temperature of the earth was more uniform at one time and now has polar caps due to global cooling. What was going on, say in Africa, 70 million years ago? Guess it's time for a notepad.

I heard him interviewed on the radio and was impressed. He's a serial iconoclast who over the course of a long career has come up with numerous "unorthodox" (i.e. contrary to to accepted wisdom of the PhD's in various scientific fields) theories in several different disciplines, labeled a crank by these same "experts", and then vindicated a few years later by new data. IIRC, according to him we probably have enough obtainable petroleum on the planet to last a few hundred if not a couple thousand years. This would, of course, upset one of the bigger wheels on the enviro-whackos' applecart.

It is funny that the amount of "proven reserves" keeps going up as new fields are discovered in unexpected places, not to mention that hydrocarbons have been detected in space. Not likely to be too many forests or dinosaurs on Jupiter.

I saw this movie. I only rated a 3. I hope that helps.

Proof please ... serious question by the way

Now that you have admitted to the bible as a potential source for reliable knowledge we hereby declare your capacity for inductive and deductive reasoning to be altogether and indefinitely suspended. /s

The change in climate probably had more to do with continental drift than any general changes in global temperatures. Antarctica was at one time much closer to if not astride the equator as part of the unified continent of Pangea (sp?). I believe in that part of current geologic theory since, unlike "Man Evil = CO2 = Global Warming", there is genuine evidence and it's not based on a luddite political agenda.

[Old Professer]

Boy, talk about global warming! If Anarctica was warm and wet, the rest of the planet must have been worse than a bathhouse in Batavia.

Atlantis?

No, worse yet, FRiend. 'Tis worse, far worse than Atlantis. 'Tis be the land of Cthulhu!

According to H.P. Lovecraft, or something like that.:)

What have you been smokin'?
Available recorded history goes back more than 2x's that far.

What are your sources?

[Old Professer]

That would cover the fossil on the mountaintop; what about the one in the nearby sea?

No, pepsi is my first name, junkie is the family name.

Ha ha ha ha ha. This is joke, right?

Ah.....
