Quote HistoryQuoted: Unfortunately.../media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/hes_right_you_know-328.jpg The profession has been shown to be rife with people willing to make shit up for a check. No idea who to trust anymore. It boggles my mind the nay sayers. In my gayest voice: Oh no baby, scientists will never lie….what they say is the truth. Yet, all of the news media is an entire F’ing clown show. All.of.it. They have played us like fiddles for the longest time. We listened to them for my years thinking they were the moral authority. Wolf Blitzer CNN, Desert Shield just turned into Desert Storm. Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, etc…. We expected them to tell us the news. And they did, for the most part. No left leaning obvious shit, just interviews. Now, everything is a shit show, everything. They are all sacks of shit lying garbage. They are evil. I cannot explain it any other way. Religiously, to me, this all makes perfect sense. Maybe we are just turning communist and we’re in its early throws. I cant quite yet get it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What I find fascinating is that the atmospheric pressure was much more dense back then. You could actually have foot long dragonflies and mega insects because of this. I would like to see an accurate time traveler show where the characters go back to this dinosaur age and get fucked up because of the massive air pressure. The atmospheric pressure was not greater. The oxygen content was higher. That is why insects and arachnids were able to attain much greater size millions of years ago. BTW - here's some nightmare fuel for you. Imagine a spider 3 or 4 feet in diameter. Got that mental image in your head? Yep - some experts believe they once did exist. Spiders have a primitive type of lung called a "book lung," and the reduction in the oxygen content of the atmosphere over what it was millions of years ago is what limits their size to what it is today. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "occurred in the spring-summer" This begs the following question. Spring-summer in which hemisphere? Answer: the hemisphere that provided the grant money for the predetermined required result Wrong. Correct answer: The hemisphere in which the fossils were studied (hint: it was in No. Dakota). I thought that would be obvious. Guess not. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Carbon-14 dating is typically for stuff 250k years or younger. Ballpark. They use different isoptopes for real old stuff. They also know the geology in certain locales, and that the giant geologic unconformity at that stratum is the geologic horizon for the extinction event. Then they look at the fossil assemblage that sits immediately on that horizon, and go from there. ETA - 50k years max for carbon dating. They actually don't know shit. They have conjecture and Wild ass guesses, but thats it. They 'know' whatever the person signing the grant check wants them to know. This is science today. |

Good. I’d rather have someone throw a water moccasin on me than a tarantula. |

If Earth’s atmosphere had stayed at ~1 bar throughout its history, where did the equivalent of 50–70 bar of CO2 in limestone and other carbonates on Earth’s surface come from? Giant insects would be hell on my backyard garden! |
