Natural Science Forum / Biology / Paleontology / February 2006question?
Did humans live among the dinosaurs? i saw something online that said that there were humans in those times let say that Human line and Dinosaurs lines were separated by around 55 millions years. They were not concomittant at all. > Did humans live among the dinosaurs? > i saw something online that said that there were humans in those times Personally, I do think that humans did live among dinosaurs. Why may you ask? Well, first of all, from a Judeo-Christian perspective, the Bible talks about dinosaurs. For example, in Job 40:15-24 there is described a creature called the behemoth whose "tail sways like a cedar" (vs. 17) and has "strength...in his loins, [and] power in the muscles of his belly." (vs. 16) If you read all of it, the descriptions seem very much like some kind of sauropod. Also, for a non Judeo-Christian perspective, I have a few questions for you to chew on. Where did the dragons of the Middle-ages come from? Why have there been cave paintings found that look strikingly similar to the body shape of sauropods and theropods? > Personally, I do think that humans did live among dinosaurs. Why may > you ask?

That's not a Judeo-Christian perspective. That's a creationist-lunatic perspective. Please try not to confuse the two. The Flintstones is a cartoon, OK? Well guys there are many mysteries still unsolved . only because there is no proof the people existed during the dinosaurs era. Its just like ATLANTIS mentioned by Plato > Well guys there are many mysteries still unsolved . And there are many solved mysteries too. > only because there is no proof the people existed during the dinosaurs > era. Yes, just as there is no proof that the moon is made of cheese. (Wensleydale?) > Its just like ATLANTIS mentioned by Plato Agreed. Atlantis is fictional, and so are the Flintstones. But tell me, how you know it's fictional > But tell me, how you know it's fictional Umm, burden of proof, dude. That is for those who make such outlandish claims, not for those who see it as the obvious hogwash that it is. Perhaps you aren't familiar with the scientific method. Not to worry. There are many universities who teach it. It isn't too late to get enrolled. But for a primer, I refer you to this web site: http://www.skywise711.com/SeismicFAQ/SeismicFAQMain.html#VIweirdthings > But tell me, how you know it's fictional Usenet primer: You have to quote the post to which you are responding, or nobody will know what you're talking about. This is not a chat room. I don't know how webtv works, but in a normal news reader, this is automatic, and you end up with little > signs marking off the quoted text, as shown above. I think you're talking about Atlantis here, and that's off topic for sci.bio.paleontology. But it's fictional because it appears only in a work of fiction, i.e. a dialog by Plato. There are no physical signs that it ever existed, anywhere. There are theories about how the legend might have originated (Thera, Minoan Crete), but the first question you might ask is whether this is a legend at all, or just something Plato made up to make a point. I agree Atlantis is off topic - but for those interested I will be posting to the alt.atlantis newsgroup starting March 1, 2006 outlining reasons and information sources about why I think Plato may have been directly on target about there being pre ice-age civilizations - particularly about atlantis. I hope to generate some interest and exchange ideas on this topic there. These postings will have nothing to do with any psychic or new age claims but will take a serious look into the time directly before and after the last Ice Age. I look forward to hering from all of you then. >> But tell me, how you know it's fictional >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > might ask is whether this is a legend at all, or just something Plato > made up to make a point. > Well guys there are many mysteries still unsolved . > only because there is no proof the people existed during the dinosaurs > era. > Its just like ATLANTIS mentioned by Plato The only true mystery left unresolved is why so many still believe this hogwash. That is very interesting about the dragons paintings in those caves, The dragons may probably came from either skelotons from dinosaurs or crocodiles (there were really large ones in this time) or even only from imagination from painters! The last dinosaur was killed by the meteor/flu/weather changing/ant attack/mammal appetite for eggs, but largely before the first appearence of the first human-like primate... The Bible is not a scientific reference! And the Flinstones is also a movie (but the cartoon is much more better) For the Atlantid, it may be either an entire fairy tale or a really big and fairy extrapolation from an island sank around the Canaris islands 500 years before Platon. > That is very interesting about the dragons paintings in those caves, |
