"Archeologists Discover Fossilized Remains of Large Raptor Species in South Dakota. The fossilized partial skeleton, found in Harding County, S.D., by a University of Kansas research team, is one of the largest known species of dromaeosaurids, popularly known as raptors."

Apx. 16 feet long, 10 inch claws, and feathered. Had wings but probably didn't fly. Dates to about 66 million years ago.

Love the name!

My response to that is that if one truly believed in the Bible, it could not have been 66 million years ago.

So, how long ago do you think it lived?

This is really interesting that we are still discovering life from so long ago.

Not to get into a heated discussion with anyone but like I said, if one totally believes in the Bible, like I do, it could not have been 66 million years ago. Much less than that, much less. I am referring to Genesis and creation.

Many disagree with the Bible Uncle Charlie.
I am boldly behind the fact that the secret things we don't understand,
belong to the Lord our God. Those things will eventually be revealed to us,
not when we want them revealed, but in Gods time.

Ugh. Seriously?

Who needs science when you can believe in a mythical sky daddy, I guess.

Seriously ... why on earth did you feel the need to inject YOUR version of religion here? How would you respond to someone who follows a DIFFERENT "holy book" saying something just as, well, inane? I suspect you would say they were delusional.

Well ...

Delusional, No.
Every one has the right to their beliefs.
I simply read something that I don't agree with. That's my problem, not theirs, not yours.
Do you agree with everything you read, probably not. That don't make you a bad person,
and I am not a bad person either.

So how does God measure time? To us a million years........to him perhaps a "day". I do not presume to know how God measures time..........
