Pretty exciting discovery! Then again, Im a science nerd, so........

 

Fkn awesome!

Can't wait until they can clean it up a bit more.

 

that is awesome!!

 

Science magazine announced they have found preserved proteins!!! Amazing!

Next step: isolating some RNA/DNA!!!!!!!

 

sweet! i can't wait for jurassic park!

 

Thats nuts.

 

I want a raptor.

 

^^ me too.

that's pretty rad

 

I wonder what the creationists will say to try to refute this...

 

X2

 

Jesus put it there to test our faith.......

 

What does that have to do with anything? I don't believe anyone doubts the existence of dinosaurs.

 

Do you know a single Christian or creationist who denies dinosaurs existed? come on man, at least do your research on somebody if you're going to try and mock them...

 

I personally am a Christian, and have no doubt that dinosaurs once existed. As far as what I believe in, I don't see why this wouldn't be possible, as though I believe that the flood killed almost all of them. How do we ACTUALLY know that there aren't any dinosaurs today? And how we're trying to explore the universe, while we aren't even done with Earth.

IMO

 

Shoot, the bible even talked about dinosaurs 1 or 2 times (yes really).....i'm a christian, i've got no problem with this, why would I?

 

lease dont tell me this is going to head into another Jesus debate...

 

Then people should have enough tact to not make idiotic comments like this one:

and this one:

...when you're on a public forum where everyone doesn't hold the same beliefs.



"Don't start none, won't be none."

 

I think the major distinction regarding dinos between creationists and evolutionists is when they roamed the earth. Science shows us the bones are about 67,000,000 years old. The bible tells us (If you add up all of the dates, and accepting that jesus, the son of god, came to earth almost 2,000 years ago) they couldnt be older than 6,000 years.

 

i wonder how long it took them to wrap this dinosaur.

 

Yes... the beginning of the Bible begins with the period of creation, but it does not clarify how long each "day" of creation was. The bible says "one day for god is like a thousand years in our eyes", which tells us that He has a different sense of time than we do. So creation of the earth could have taken millions of years (which gives a stretch of time for dinos).. but humans have only been on the earth some 6k years (he rested on the 7th day...the Bible makes no mention of an 8th day...so you can say were still on that 7th day, per se).
