Ah, thus proving once again that I am an overly gullible and trusting individual. This could even be good news, in that it could potentially support the notion of life on other planets.

The only problem left is the fact that he cites a book/article claiming errors in radiometric dating. I was aware that there were occasional minor errors in the field, but I was unaware of any serious errors. :P
I will look at the article, but about the life at different planets: even, if we haven't the direct proof itself, many of the thimgs necessary to build a protocell, do in fact come from meteorites and form in protoplanetary disks :P Take a look on Murchinson meteorite, containing amino acids.

I don't think I should take anything the guy said seriously. He also claimed that sauropods were so big that their bones would probably have cracked and buckled under their weight, which just demonstrates a lack of biomechanical knowledge. Little does he know that sauropod bones are filled with weight-reducing air sacs that would've been more than sufficient to support their vast weight on dry land. xD

And by the way, the "scientists can't explain this" type arguments are often used by young Earth creationists. There isn't any disagreement about radiometric dating. When the animal body is buried under the sediments, these sediments also harden. That's why we have "imprints" of prehistoric stuff. When you find a limestone fossil in limestone Cretaceous rocks, it's obvious that it's Cretaceous fossil. Even if there is a remain from another period, it has different level of mineralisation and is made from another material.

Hooray for science!

BTW one of the comments on one of the videos Nomis posted claimed that there just couldn't have been enough food around to sustain animals as gigantic as dinosaurs. Like, WTF?? I'd like to know what these people are smoking. xD

no evidence and lots of fraud is not religious propaganda. maybe you call it 'religious propaganda' but that is just your perspective. I have nothing to do with religion. Your resentments are somehow causing you to not understand that. I have nothing to do with religion. I mock religion. Thats why I mock evolutionism.

What does communism and illegal immigration have anything to do with this also I think the guy who has the 1st 3 links thinks evolutionism is a religion

thats exactly it, NOTHING xD
these people keep changing the subject to try and make me out to be evil

and yah, the guy says he hates religion and evolution is a religion created by the government to trick people since apparently they have some magical political power by making people believe in the phony religion known as evolution :roll:

Really, I can't believe that guy doesn't know the difference of religion and theory / law. With that logic, it means gravity is a religion!

he keeps bringing up evolution and I keep pointing out that evolution is irrelevant to whether dinosaurs existed or not
whenever he realizes I'm right he brings up some BS like the JFK assassination, or evolution being a religion


[EDIT] apparently the whole thing was a troll to see peoples reactions, hes not so stupid after all
damn he got us good xD
