What evidence is this? It doesn't say on the wiki entry - sounds intriguing though.

It mentions it in the last sentence of the first paragraph. Although it doesn't really elaborate or give any links to justify the claim, so it's probably just theory at this point.
 
Zidaneasaurus
More commonly known as Pachycephalosaurs.....these guys ram each other with their heads.

PAchycephalosaurus and prenocephale are different things :/ I almost made an ass of myself by talking about the zidanesaurus...

How could the allosaurus have survived through the extinction if it didn't even survive the cretaceous?

apatasaurus, brachiosaurus, and diplodocus are all different dinosaurs. Pterosaurs and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs at all.

Sorry, dinosaur-nitpicker, I am.

Yeah I know they're different, it's just that... there's too many dinosaurs for 10 options and I figured they're so similar that if you like one of those three you probably like them all :D.

About that last point.... well, darn. :(

Also, something funny I just read about a velociraptor/protoceratops find:
"In 1971, fossils of a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops were found together. They died together; the Velociraptor was attacking the Protoceratops with its claws and the armored head of the Protoceratops had apparently pierced the chest of the Velociraptor."

Haha, owned.
 
Yeah it's a pretty infamous fossil.

Pretty amazing, eh?
 
Yeah, God sure had some imagination when He planted the fossils there.

They are Ostrich-sized.

Compys are turkey-sized.

No fave here. Used to be triceratops when I was a kid.

Negative, Velocoraptor was the size of a turkey, Jurassic Park got it wrong. They used the fossils of a Deinonychus (cant spell it) as a basis. Compys were about the size of a chicken (this is height, not length)

Also, I agree with whoever had Allosaurus. Those were the shit. I think it was Giganatosaurus (or something along those lines) which was the biggest proven Carnivore (as in, sure it ate meat) which is therefore almost as Uber as T-Rex.

Well, the Allosaurus lived in the Jurassic Period. I'm guessing that since they've found fossil fragments in the chalky soil of the Cretaceous, it must mean that they survived the mass extinction somehow.

Hooray! Another Allosaurus fan. :D

I always thought Giganotosaurus was a fictional dinosaur made up for the Dino Crisis 2 videogame...

lies!! the dinosaurs were noah's ark

You so silly, they took babies of the dinosaurs on the Ark so they could fit :P

Ankylosaurus was my favourite if i remember it correctly. It was armoured everywhere like a tank with a huge tail with a wrecking ball on the end (almost) which used to break whatever it felt like. What a geezer!

Found it!

I wonder how carnivores were able to take out one of these without breaking their limbs? :P

Nope, it was South American IIRC

True Canadian: They probably weren't. Also, I have the Walking with Dinosaurs book, its very cool
 
anyone know any good dinosaurs webpage?
I was a dinosaur nut when was a kid too

btw I think in the belly they where not that armored

that actually makes sense ...since there were no adult dinosaurs the babies not knowing how to fend for themselves died of exposure to the elements ..which is probably why there's so many baby dinosaur bones and egg fragments sitting right next to the Ark

Ahhh now your coming round to the idea! It was possible, except the 7 month flood needed 7 months worth of food onboard the Ark for all these creatures, and prevention of predation against the other species. Good ol Noah.

man that's a long time to stay in an egg ..I wonder if noah was tired of hearing little voices saying "are we there yet?" coming from the eggs :O
 
Utahraptor, because it could kick the other raptor's asses, and a couple of them could have easily taken down any prey they wanted.

So, yeah, Utahraptor FTMFW!

And that is why animals went extinct.
 
Looking at that site, I have to ask - why would the ark's anchor stones have crosses on them in the first place, when the flood preceded the birth of Christ?
Just a thought...

Oh, and that site has an "article" on DINOSAURS! that's full of nonsense about "those who refused to accept God's truth". You know, as opposed to "those who refuse to look reality in the face".
 
Everything on the earth's surface was in liquid suspension, the only thing remaining stable being the bedrock. And in this "earth soup" were the bodies of thousands, perhaps even millions, of "dinosaurs"- some gigantic and some as small as our lizards today. As the turmoil lessened, the debris in the water began to settle. The heaviest and densest materials naturally settled to the bottom first. But, the turmoil was not consistent over the entire planet, so some areas experienced some settling before others did.

Also, as the waves and currents travelled continually over the face of the earth, new debris would be washed into some areas after initial settling had begun, producing multiple settlement, or "strata".

The heaviest matter would have included uranium, the heaviest element. As this was deposited at the greatest depth, and more earth and matter settled upon it with great force, the radioactive decay of the uranium, radium and etc., caused tremendous heat at the bottom of the sediments. The rocks were melted at these sites. The water coming in contact with this tremendous heat produced incredible amounts of steam. This volcanic activity caused upheaval of the earth- great mountain chains were thrusted up. Volcanoes spouted lava in great quantities. One effect of this upheaval was that the entire equilibrium of the earth was disturbed. The delicate balance which kept the earth rotating on its axis was interrupted numerous times and the planet shifted its entire bulk, which further thrusted and tore the surface. Evidence that the earth shifted on its axis numerous times in a very short time period is proven by rocks such as magnetite. During their formation, these rocks developed lines within them which aligned with magnetic north. Magnetite specimens have been found which display as many as 10 or more different alignments, proving that during the time that the rock was cooling, the earth changed its magnetic poles at least 10 times.

And during this tremendous cataclysm, some of the huge bodies of the gigantic "dinosaurs" were buried deep in the earth, along with everything else. Due to their density, many were buried in a deeper layer than the lighter animals, but not always. As the currents and waves continued, more debris was deposited, again settling out according to its weight and density. This resulted in a "layering" effect- or strata. Finally, we read that the rain stopped.

GEN 8:1 ...and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;...3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually:...

As we mentioned, the story of the flood is extremely short, considering the events which occurred. And therefore, we must know that every word in the account is important. The fact that a "wind" is mentioned as passing over the earth to help dry the waters indicates that this was no little wind. In order for this wind to have any effect on the incredible amount of water on the face of the earth, it would have had to have been greater than any hurricane or tornado we can imagine. It must have been of absolutely incredible force, actually forceful enough to move masses of earth. And as this earth was moved around, some water was able to return back into the earth, and some was evaporated, but the majority of water remained in the incredibly deep chasms that now contain the oceans.

And as the water receded into the earth, the fossilization of the animals buried deep in the earth began.

What the hell...

So they're saying there was no oceans/seas before the flood....I mean god damn where do they get this stuff?

The whole idea of evolution is based on the supposition that there is no God. You read Darwin's own observation about the total absence of transitional forms. Our problem is that we no longer choose to think for ourselves. We have gotten lazy- we sit back and let the "scientist and learned men" tell us what to believe. The "learned men" who believe that life evolved from chaos and evolved over millions of years say that the similarities in different kinds of animals are the result of their evolving from a common ancestor, when in fact these very similarities are staggering proof of a common Creator.

I felt literally sick the last time we went to the Smithsonian dinosaur display as I overheard parents telling their children how many millions of years ago each dinosaur lived. And then I got angry as I realized what was happening- those precious children were being taught that the Bible was a lie. That realization hit me like a ton of bricks in my face. I never felt so helpless as I did that day. How can we expect people to have faith in our precious Jesus if they cannot believe the Word of God?

Acutally no it's not "based on the supposition that there is no god". I believe in god/allah/ying yang/the source or whatever you want to call that "deep feeling". Yet I believe in science.
 
Oh, how did this turn into a religious debate again? Pffft.. give it a rest, God did it and that's final. I mean, have you ever looked at a banana? It's perfectly engineered to FIT YOUR HAND! It's even been given a handle so you can peel the skin without getting your hands dirty.
 
cool thread! what was the one that looked like a smaller t-rex and had a small horn at his nostril area, he was in jp3 i think towards the end.

also that other dinosaur that pwnt the t-rex in jp3, spinosaurus or sumit? gigantosaurus and Argentinosaurus sound pretty cool too.
 
spinosaurus I think was found in africa and I think is big as the giganotosaurus or bigger

EXTREME sexual activities.

Ever deepthroated a banana? It's every bit as good to you as it is to the banana!

"Does that trouble anyone else, that there might be some kind of prankster god f*cking with our heads?"

*does actions of God burying a Brontosaurus head*

"Ohohoho, we will see who believes in me now!"
