I could provide you with reams and reams of evidence showing that evolution happens if you like. I mean the evidence supporting the phylogenetic tree of life is abundant enough by itself to make evolution an open and shut case. Apart from that it's been observed in laboratories and in nature many times, for example the e-coli long term evolution experiment. Really it's a case of "what would you like to know?" because there is too much to give you in one go. Dinosaurs and man co-existed. But you would rarely hear about this information because it hurt egos in the scientific community that they have been wrong for the last 150 years. Science doesn't work like that I'm afraid. Scientists do have some integrity y'know. Besides, If the evidence is strong enough the scientist who would discover that man and humans lived side by side would be credited with one of the greatest shock discoveries ever. Suppression is something hard to do in scientific communities as eventually a good idea will win round opponents. There have been plenty of times that science has been redefined, even after centuries, in the face of new evidence. Gravity for example. Scientists thought Newton's laws of gravity worked, but then *boom* Einstein came along with general relativity, which was a better explanation. The evidence was undeniable, and so centuries of work had been redefined in an instant. This is fairly typical event in the scientific community (I think I should note that science is always becoming better defined as opposed to constantly in turmoil. Whatever comes after evolution will have to account for the evidence found in evolution too, so it would be a very similar theory). Dinosaurs and man living together would have a hard time being suppressed if the evidence were strong, but it's not. Dino autopsy. Wait, what? I thought dinosaurs died out millions of years ago? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG5B7x_uDlE&NR=1 Hardly a dino autopsy at all. Granted they found a small amount of collagen, but the age of the fossil has never really been up for debate, the main area of debate is how the collagen has been preserved for so long. It has been reliably dated to 68million years old by radiometric dating techniques, as with many other dinosaurs. Either way, it does not show in any sense that dinosaurs and homosapiens have walked the Earth together as homosapiens have only been around for 200,000 years. That's a gap of 67.8million years between this dinosaur and us homosapiens.

Nevertheless, I will be happy to watch this evening and come back with some thoughts later, but I don't have an hour to kill right now. ... I'll just leave you with this thought. The dates for the existence of dinosaurs are well supported. The age of the fossils can be obtained by measuring the radioactive decay from parent to daughter elements in the igneous layers either side of the sedimentary layers they were fossilised in. This can give a reasonably accurate age bracket of when that dinosaur was fossilised. And we find that dinosaurs existed up until ~65million years ago, which lines up perfectly with the Cretaceous-tertiary extinction, which killed off most life, including all non-avian dinosaurs. We know for a fact that humans weren't around during this extinction as modern mammals like us began to evolve after this extinction. |
