rene Posted August 7, 2013 The two arguments aren't equal in strength. Arguments rarely are. Relying on preponderance is a well established method - as long as the foundations are kept in mind. Nice to see you, Stosh (-: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 7, 2013 That totally makes a much better story than asteroids Yeah, but playing the name game with asteroids is fun. It is an asteroid as long as it stayes out of our space. If it gets into our atmosphere it becomes a meteor. If it doesn't burn up entering our atmosphere and some of it hits the Earth it becomes a meteorite. What was it? The Eskimos have over a dozen names for snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerostao Posted August 7, 2013 equality and equivalence are 2 different things, not saying that i am making any point with that. how does one determine if bones are tame or wild? a chinese dragon would never eat a maiden? cmon now drags on. intended pun? be advised there may be a bit of synchronicity with that there be dragons remark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted August 7, 2013 There are a few researchers that are attempting to clone certain extinct species such as the woolly mammoth and some dinosaur species. I am putting my order in now. I saw a documentary a while back and there is one institution that is working with chickens and at the time of the doc. they had grown a tail on a chicken as well as grown teeth in its beak. I expect the mammoth before too long as they have frozen flesh they are working with. Should be lots of usable DNA there. Dinosaurs will be a little more difficult but still possible because of reverse DNA engineering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am putting my order in now. i am sure that the woolly mammoth will love global warming or else the dinosaurs might. if there could be a return of the ice age--- then woolly mammoth and dinosaur could roam free once more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh Posted August 7, 2013 You cannot prove a negative, least of all with the ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE. Granted: UNTIL such a time that living dinosaurs are discovered, there is no sense in proclaiming it. but until there is proof that they have, in fact, been eradicated, it is not wrong or illogical to suspect they could still exist. Granted: T-rex is gone, we wont see him anymore, but they say he evolved into a chicken too... so apparently I cant argue that chickens are dinosaurs... But crocks and gators are supposedly surviving dinosaurs. so they DO still exist... just not the megalithic Brontosaurus or huge stegosaurs... Weather or not stegosaurs were ridden by humans or not is not arguable until either A: evidence of tamed and ridden dinosaur bones turn up or B: indisputable geologic findings detail the exact fate of all the "missing dinosaurs". even death by asteroid is still disputable. crocks obviously survived if it was an asteroid, so other waterborne and subterranean monsters could have survived as well. Like I already explained Judo, there is evidence they arent here. It is not that there is equally Zero evidence. I repeat there is evidence they arent here so this claim of ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE is bogus. Quit leaning on that weak phrase which doesnt apply. You are thinking inside someone elses box. Naughty Judo ! If I have a dozen eggs and one of them was eaten by Jane, I can see that there are only eleven eggs in the container. If there was a twelfth egg still in there , and one presumes light travels in straight lines ( and so forth) I would see it , as long as I can see visible eggs. For your logic to be true the egg would have to be invisible, Do you know of any chickens that have cloaking devices? Not Cloaca-ing devices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerostao Posted August 7, 2013 but stosh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nevermind, i am gonna stick to art, this science stuff is for the dinosaurs, zeros goes to work on his masterpiece, a cloaked dinosaur/woolly mammoth clone, done in the style of pollock oil drippings, dinosaur doo doo and chicken feathers splttered on canvas. i will call it # 71.6 i expect it to go for about 40 million after i die before i die i expect 42 cents at the flea market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
