Just THINK of all the things we can ascribe to The Right, if we adopt Rap's "logic"....what FUN!!!

Others claimed that since the bible mentioned that giants had been wiped out by the Great Flood, that these were certainly dinosaurs.

So I guess Rap is agreeing, since he said he agreed with my post, that if one can find a few examples of someone on The Right saying outlandish things, we can then apply them, just as he did with "The Left Thinks Obama Is A God", to The Right.

Apparently he'll recover. I'm glad; nobody deserves that, no matter how ignorant and misguided. But I wonder what Robertson, etc., will make of it?

Gotta think lots of floods have happened.

The Lake Bonneville Flood

Lake Bonneville was the precursor of the Great Salt Lake. The shorelines of this ancient lake can be seen on the higher slopes of the Wasatch Mountains, more than 984 feet above the present level of the Great Salt Lake. Before the catastrophic Bonneville flood, Lake Bonneville covered an area of more than 19,691 square miles.

Approximately 15,000 years ago Lake Bonneville, a late Pleistocene lake, suddenly discharged an immense volume of water to the north. This flood is thought to be caused by capture of the Bear River which greatly increased the supply of water to the Bonneville Basin. These flood waters flowed over Red Rock Pass in southeastern Idaho and continued westward across the Snake River Plain generally following the path of the present Snake River. Although this enormous flood was first described in the literature by Gilbert in 1878, Harold Malde (1968) of the U.S. Geological Survey published the first detailed account of the effects of the flood on the Snake River Plain. The name "Bonneville Flood" first appeared in the literature in 1965 (Richmond and others, 1965).

Large rounded boulders of basalt characterize many deposits left by the flood along the Snake River Plain. H. A. Powers, who recognized that these boulders were of catastrophic origin, and Malde applied the name of Melon Gravel to the boulder deposits (Malde and Powers, 1962). They were inspired to use this term after observing a road sign in 1955 that called the boulders "petrified watermelons."

Well, point being, whether it's a 'local' event, or a regional one, they probably all look the same to anyone living down river or in the low lands when one of these things hits.

I seem to recall the Mediterranean flooding too. Though that may have been a few million years ago, not 10's or 100's of thousands of years.

No Byte, I'm not Rap, I may get a giggle out of the idea that he's now left himself wide open to getting what he so freely gives, but I have no actual desire to sink to that level.

No no, that's not how it works. God only hits BAD people with lightning. SATAN hits good people with lightning, God SAVES them from dying. So now he knows that God is on his side and he's really pissed off Satan.

Has nothing to do w/ why folks are spread out, of course, but still... take the small victories where you can find 'em.

I guess so AU. But still just the notion that the mother was using continental drift to explain why people are the colours they are and where they are. It just made me shudder.

"One thing is for sure: the theropod dinosaurs were not created to eat meat. God created all creatures to eat plants, and he gave some of them sharp teeth so that they would be able to do so. Some of those particular mechanisms of different sorts, including teeth, may have changed after Adam’s sin so that such creatures could eat meat.”

I have personally photographed T. Rex teeth. Using simple engineering, their teeth would NOT be useful as a carnivore - the ratio of teeth to root is far to small to allow the force needed for T Rex to actually attack another animal that could fight back. YOU are not a carnivore, but your tooth to root ration is about 1:1. The T Rex tooth has a tooth to root ration os about 5:1, making it perilously easy for the tooth to be pulled in battle. And a toothless T Rex is NO predator.

The "titanosaur" is estimated to have weighed 76 tons and would have
been about 40m long and 20m tall — roughly equal to a seven-storey
building when its neck was in the air.
