What really happened to the dinosaurs? And how come the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs? (A satirical discussion thread from deep inside the Underground mental asylum - DISCLAIMER: consult with your shrink before reading and post at your own risk!)
Your everlasting involvement in this group is enough, Laureen.That's worth more than gold ;)
I couldn't watch all the video for fear it does answer the big question of this thread ;)
So you see sometimes this group is about suppressing the truth (for the greater good)
Some things should be buried underground...
HA/HaHaHaHa. I am so relieved. Thanks for your support James, sweetie! Sorry, damsel's Hero!

Now back to the main topic...which was...I forget...Oh yeah, what do you think happened to the dinos, laureen? I mean you've never made your opinion known...

Well if someone can have an uninformed point of view, I suspect it was one of the ages of the earth like the ice age or the Iron Age. The Dino age just disappeared in the same way, probably due to climate change over millions of years. I don't think the dinos would have liked the ice, not having much fur on them to keep warm and vegetation would have been scarce along with meat for the meat lovers. Volcano activity might have helped too but I suspect natural causes during evolution were probably the main reason.
I can't see one isolated meteorite wiping out the entire earth of dinosaurs. Nothing would have remained if that was the case.
Now, sweet smart-arse! what do you think caused extinction? It had to be huge as most of these animals were enormous. That is why I don't believe they could have fitted on Noah's Arc no matter how earnest he was to save the world.

I'm starting to wonder why I passed up on the offer of gold now...
Ha! Forget that but "sweet" no doubt would get the same response. You should have been born long ago James; me thinks you would have made the ideal alchemist.

"Smart" is your second name PatEye and I will completely leave of the second part of your second name unless,of course, you manage to fall into the alchemist's brew while stirring the pot. It can happen, you know. Beware!
Laureen wrote: "Ha! Forget that but "sweet" no doubt would get the same response.

Just be careful, molten gold can be slippery not to mention scorching hot! One of the old forms of torture was to pour molten gold done the throats of people. There was so much barbarism in the past and to think it is back here in the Middle East. Yeah, I know that is a wrong statement; it is hard to imagine that certain and different countries have been suffering the same but, we, in our cozy cocoon of democracy, have trouble imaging that most of the world's people know nothing about fairness but, instead, suffer persecution and death and torture on a daily basis.
Here, we feel hard done by if we can't earn a living by doing a hobby. That is fine, provided you have earned the money to invest in that hobby and perfect it through rigorous labor and then are in a position to sell it and get a return for your labour. I just don't like people living their dream on other people's hard work. We should all be extremely thankful for the political system we were, by chance, born into. Instead, we complain incessantly. Instead of solving our own "minor" problems, we look to blame someone. How do the people of poor countries see us? As spoilt, I would suggest, or born with a silver spoon in our mouths whether we are quite wealthy by our stands or poor by our standards.
Oh , my, there I go again. Now, what were we discussing? Yeah, that right, where have the dinosaurs gone? James has refused to give me his account. Come on, James, give us your most earnest beliefs, from the heart.

But not before.
All I can give now is a clue that it doesn't involve Adam & Eve or Noah ;)
But anyway, I doubt this thread will make it to 1,000. And therefore the truth about what happened to them will forever remain a secret.
Is this the author coming out of you James? Must keep reading to find out how the story end? Except this is no book and I can't flip to the last chapter. What a tease you are. I'm suddenly very tired. Off to bed for me.
Always leave the audience wanting more, Laureen ;)
God created all things, and God chose who would stay and who became extinct during the long earth history.The Bible also says,
2 Peter 3-8 "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."
Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night."
Hosea 6:2 “And after two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us that we may live in his presence”?
one day = one thousand years. One day in the Bible sometimes may mean "a lot, many" days
This is exactly like the number 9 in ancient China, 9 sometimes means a lot, many.
Before God created mankind, there were already other animals.
When Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, there were animals lived outside Eden.
God let all Dinosaurs die, no matter which method He used.
The Bible did not tell us how many years that Adam and Eve lived in the Eden. It could be MANY MANY years.
After Adam and Eve came out of the Eden, and before Noah's great flood, there were also MANY years. And there were archaeological proof of extinction of species during the time of Noah's flood.
In my book "The Queen of the South in Matthew 12:42," I have discussed Nuwa's flood legend in ancient China matched Noah's Great flood.
Lot of us think T-Rex and Spinosaurus were bad ass, but the real carnage happened in the seas. Predator X had a bite force of 4 T-Rexes. And there was Megalodon, Mosasaurs, Tylosaurus etc.. All 40 - 80 feet long killing machines. Good luck taking a swim in those waters !

And there was Megalodon, Mosasaurs, Tylosaurus etc.. All 40 ..."Yeah Janith, which leads to the thought "how could any big flood have wiped out sea Dinos"? I would imagine they would have a big laugh and lots of fun exploring an expanded world for them. Just saying for all those who take the bible stories literally. Even a meteor landing in America could not have wiped out the oceans, me thinks.
Laureen wrote: "Janith wrote: "Lot of us think T-Rex and Spinosaurus were bad ass, but the real carnage happened in the seas. Predator X had a bite force of 4 T-Rexes. And there was Megalodon, Mosasaurs, Tylosauru..."Totally !. And 80% of the earth was covered in water those days.

9 out of 15 of the largest predators ever lived in earth were sea creatures. And there were only 4 genuine land dwellers. You can see who dominated the earth back then. And its evident who's the king of the kings by comparing their jaw sizes. No 8 all the way !! Nobody was safe from its Massive mouth.

All the big dinos used to bully him so he thought enough is enough and fled to the ocean. after few million years time, this monitor lizard evolved into a 59 feet long super predator and he dominated the seas for millions of years. Nobody dared to challenge them. Their cousins even moved into fresh water, seeking pray in swamps and rivers. Only the extinction event could stop them at last.
And I think Lance, lizards can do it again. Coz they are such extraordinary creatures when it comes to survival. All they need is us humans to step out from the scene for a while, few thousand years perhaps. Without humans and with this global warming which perfectly supports their growth, our Komodo dragons and monitor lizards will become Megalanias and the Boas will become Titanoboas once again.

However, a warning...Don't mention "global warming" too loudly in this group. We have entire discussion threads devoted to that touchy subject (not to mention global cooling) in this group and you could send one or two of our more volatile Undergrounders (no names) over the edge if they see the words G------ W------ (you know what I'm saying) once too often. Say no more...

I know this is your's & James's baby, but I was under the impression we could lay our thoughts right out there, so long as we leave dogma in the closet and respect the views of others. Or were you being funny? Always a possibility. I hope you don't think I am one of the "volatile" participants. Being half Italian, I call it passion.

The last dino on Earth was looking for a mate

Not sure about the underground theory James, but some dinos still live in the oceans. Remember the Coelacanth ?, the favorite food source of long gone Spinosaurus. The predator extinct but the prey survived in the ocean. Great White is another good example. But I dont think the mega sea dinosaurs still patrol our waters. Then there would be lot of dead bodies
So, new question. There are a lot of spurious explanations about land Dinos BUT what happened to the sea Dino's? None of the explanations for land Dino's relate to sea Dinos!
Laureen wrote: "So, new question. There are a lot of spurious explanations about land Dinos BUT what happened to the sea Dino's? None of the explanations for land Dino's relate to sea Dinos!"One theory I've heard is, most of the species died out in starvation and temperature change. Most of them survived the asteroid but the oceans started to cool and it was not a good aspect for reptiles lived in the oceans. Eventually their pray items like whales moved away to cooler waters and the predatory dinosaurs had to kill each other for food. World was no longer the place for mega beasts so , big players like Megalodon disappeared but their smaller cousins like the Great White survived.
This explanation has lot of weak links, like why dions couldn't adapt to something like a climate change when they managed to survive an asteroid hit. And as I mentioned before they are perfect adapters of nature. Plus, its hard to believe any animal could starve in an ocean regardless how big it is. If they can't find whales or fish , then there's always plenty of other dinosaur species to feed on.
Genius bees and high IQ dinos and dumb politicians - sounds about right.
Laureen wrote: "So, new question. There are a lot of spurious explanations about land Dinos BUT what happened to the sea Dino's? None of the explanations for land Dino's relate to sea Dinos!"Dinosaurs weren't aquatic.
(They'd have needed lots of water wings.)

I think you got it spot on.
I just realised I had post 666 and wasted the opportunity of some smart Alec remark.

So you think Mosasaurus was a fish ? :D
apparently dinos were aquatic...at least according to the "experts" in this thread!

p.s. uh-oh, that comment might have "triggered" Illuminati conspiracy theorists to form ideas based on this joke of mine...

I see they're not technically dinosaurs, but yeah, they're as good as!
