No one argued that it was proven beyond any possibility of doubt. That's a ridiculous standard.
The whole point and emphasis of this thread was to ridicule and mock "teabaggers" who didn't feel compelled to agree this was a proven fact. I agree it is a ridiculous standard, and the 41% who
"know humans did not live with dinosaurs" have applied that standard.
There is absolutely no logic or science that supports the idea that dinos and man coexisted.
There is absolutely no logic or science that supports the Big Bang Theory, Dark Energy or Black Holes.... and we can now add Man-made Global Warming to the list. Do you have a point to make?
And you show that it is exactly what I said it is. The gap is 64 million years. Even if your nonsense about hiding in caves was plausible, that explains at best, a million years of the gap.
Your argument is implausible.
It's not an argument, that would involve presenting evidence to support the argument. I simply gave an off-the-cuff example of a possibility, one of millions of possibilities. I wasn't "arguing" that this happened, I don't have any evidence to support the idea, and I agree, that is probably not likely to have happened. Still, it IS
possible that humans inhabited the earth at the time of the dinosaur. It's possible for the simple reason that it's not IMPOSSIBLE!
64 million years is a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to 4.5 billion years. Lots of things could have transpired before, during, and after the fossil discoveries show dinosaurs or man on earth. And fossil layers are not the definitive 'end-all-be-all' history of earth, just over 100 years ago, the oldest fossil remains of humans was somewhere around 20k years old.... well, conventional wisdom was, man came on the scene about 20k years ago, because that is what the fossil record showed, but what happened? We discovered fossils 30k years old! Then we discovered more fossils later, which were 40k years old... then 50k... then 60k... now we are up close to 100k years old... so what does this tell us? It tells us we don't KNOW any fucking thing! We can assume, we can presume, we can speculate, we can pontificate, but by god, we just fucking can't KNOW for certain! Perhaps there are fossils out there 200k years old? Perhaps there are even fossils a million years old or more, and we simply have not discovered them yet! Is this sinking in yet?
It makes you a fucking idiot. As I stated before, you support execution based on far less. We make decisions all the time with less information.
No we don't! When someone is executed, they have had a trial, where evidence is presented and lawyers presented a case, and a jury weighed the evidence and found someone guilty, then they have been given a series of appeals. Most of the time, the evidence is overwhelming and irrefutable.
You are not open minded. You are once again trying to attack science and place it on the level of fairy tales.
No I am not. YOU are trying (again) to spin your rational view, which was correct at one point, into something bizarrely opposite and along the lines of what Prissy posted. You keep dancing around, claiming that we don't know for certain and can't prove it ---BUT--- if you don't believe it as irrefutable
fact, you are a fairy tale believer! Make up your mind, either it IS or ISN'T a fact... either another possibility exists, or it doesn't! You can't argue that another possibility might exist, but if you believe it may, you are an idiot!
And neither did the local farmers when selling to neighbors/friends. Of course the eggs had not been sitting around for weeks before sold. They were usually sold within a day or two.
