Quoting: Nikki_LaVeyYes, but isn't it true that constant weathering from rain would erode the rock into sedimentary layers? If this went on everyday for years, then this would probably happen quite rapidly, no? Just a thought... |

User ID: 906289 United States 03/25/2010 12:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, you know the way dinos are found in rock strata several meters into the ground (or whatever). Well could it be possible that there was once a great flood, i.e., torrential rains which fell everyday for years, and caused the ground everywhere to become meters upon meters of thick, soggy, muddy wasteland? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 866361Now, just wondering: considering the fact that dinosaurs (most of them) weighed several tonnes, isn't it likely that their huge bulk would have caused them to sink deeper into the ground compared to animals which weighed far less? So, therefore, dinos and humans may have actually coexisted, but the dinos may have sunk further into the earth during the great flood because of their huge bulk? See, I'm not a creationist or nothing like that, but I just find it strange that dinosaur fossils (so many of them) are so well preserved when they are dug up. Shouldn't they have decayed into oblivion after so many millions of years? Also I'm aware of the fact that scientists use radiometric dating to determine the age of the rocks in which fossils are found, and they do this by measuring the half-lives of radioactive isotopes within the rock. But could it be possible that the rock - in which these isotopes are found - had at one time partially liquefied due to continuous flooding, and the big ass dinos sunk into it? BINGO! MOOPS,spreading joy and mayhem :) [link to www.onegoodkitty.com] [link to www.biblegateway.com] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather EXPOSE them. |

(Page 2) There are some who've never heard the other side of the evidence, other views which are banned from most all schools and media. They often then do their own research. Still others who have solidified their view often do not even care about the truth, or cannot accept such a large conspiracy could exist! This was the topic of Ben Stein's EXPOSED! |

BTW forgot to mention: it doesn't take millions of years for bones to petrify (it can happen quite rapidly). And isn't it true that the earth's crust goes through many movements over millions of years? Thus strongly suggesting that fossils should not be so well preserved after being subjected to so much disturbance. |

One more thing: uranium isotopes are paramagnetic, meaning that they would gradually sink deeper into the earth because they are magnetically attracted to the geomagnetic field produced by the earth's core. So, this doesn't necessarily indicate that the rock itself is billions of years old, it just indicates that these isotopes are found deeper because they are paramagnetic. |

Quoting: p00p 921781During the Flood accounts... Or, do you mean Cromangon and Astraliapithicus(sp)at ~ 1.5 million years vrs. 65 million for the Dino layer. Yes, but how do you know that Australopithicus/Cromagnon were not from the same time frame as the dinosaurs? Like I say, if animals of varying weights began to sink into thick layers of mud, then the animal containing the most weight would have sunk deeper, hence the huge dinos. I'm not saying this is the truth, I'm just presenting another possibility, that's all. |

The remains today are nothing but the runaway pet dinos that went feral and were left behind and reproduced. They were caught up in the last ice age and were sqwished into the ground by the weight of the snow flakes that turned into two mile high glaciers. That's my theory and you can destroy it. |

Competing by consensus, creating facts for theories to be gradually introduced as supportive evidence. Discrediting most things of common knowledge, purposely made contrary to popular belief. It is very difficult to un-learn the incongruent truths of our youth.. and much easier on the mind to imagine all realities as plausible & most that is written to be ramblings of the lunatic fringe.

IDW User ID: 924957 United States 03/25/2010 02:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The answer to this question is really not what the OP suspects , but the fact is there are creatures living on the Earth that predate homosapien and have existed unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs. If these creatures had not survived, they would definitely have been classified as 'dinosaurs' ;crocodiles and komodo dragons are two examples, So the answer is simple, men and dinosaurs do coexist and have since men have been on this planet. |

They are found entirely below any of the megafauna of the Cretaceous. Only a few even made it as far as the Permian. And what made ammonites sink as fast as the megafauna in these strange bogs of yours? Really heavy shells? But why, then, does the mastodon float near the top? Too many air bubbles trapped in his fur? As the other poster said, the geologic record is not so simply sorted as this. |
