Now all we need to verify is the elephant-eating Roc that Sinbad talked about.
Ping!
Those stupid natives didnt realize that birds have needs just like humans They should have been proud to sacrifice their children so that the bird could live.
Of course Eagles eat kids. There is a video on youtube that shows it.

"The results indicated not only that Haasts eagle was a fearsome predator that probably swooped on its prey from a high mountain perch, but also that it evolved over a relatively short period of time from a much smaller-bodied ancestor."
Hate to tell you, but it's a bit of a stretch to get from an eagle that has gone extinct within the last 500 years to Thomas's idea that we are at the peril of a "fiery flying serpent".
A number of species specific to islands have gone extinct after the introduction of humans and their fellow travelers (rats, dogs, pigs, avian disease, etc.). In what way is that evidence of a 6000 year old Earth and proof that dinosaurs walk among us?
