I was never fond of the theory that man hunted the mammoth to extinction.

...Arrowheads and other artifacts from the Clovis culture of humans

That would be the Ledbetters of Route Four, Liberty, Mississippi.

This stuff is such hogwash, honestly, science is nothing but fairy tales these days, in search of either grants to futher their worthless careers or to carry the mantle of thier twisted ideology.

The world continues to find every reason under the sun EXCEPT for the Flood in Noah’s days to explain why the animals all died off.

"Should we be doing more to try to deflect future asteroids, or is that too sci-fi?" she said.

Well, comets are different - they don't necessarily have one solid center mass and can't easily be pushed aside.

The next Comet will impact above Wrigley field just as the Little Bears are about to clinch the NL pennant.

LOL! They missed one-our big old orange tabby,Rusty,who has earned the nickname "Smilodon". We jokingly refer to his parentage as a cross between a pitbull and a saber-toothed tiger (but he really is a sweetheart..just don't aggravate him!)

I take it you aren’t a big fan of science? No, that's not it at all and typical reaction when someone points out the flaws. What I'm sick of is announcements that water was found on Mars 2.8 seconds after our robot lands there (no proof), that this building block for life was found here on this planet 9 billion light years away (lol) and so on and so on ..., that animals are gay too, and on and on with the retarded crap, honestly, I read the headlines today and laugh and am amazed that they report this stuff on the news and the massive just "believe it". There is real science, done by people who still use critical thinking, but they are generally frowned upon because their conclusions don't prop up the ideology of the mainstream scientists. And I'm not talking about Christian Scientists, I'm talking about scientist still generally interested in the truth.
