Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures

[SM]

Walking With... has it's fair share of detractors too.  Personally I love it bitses.  Has en epic feel about it helped immensely by Branagh.

[Anto of the Sand]

Agreed.

Were does our holy "science article" claim that T.Rex was the direct ancestor of the "chicken"?

I do not recall it having said that.

Either you're one of those who can't grasp context and need to have things spelled out to you in careful steps, or you're nit-picking for the sake of an argument. Since I had mentioned beer, I had made my statement in jest. That said, I believe that you were the former and had evolved into the latter.

(p.s. In my original statement, I said that some scientists believed it.)

So do you guys think dinosaurs can be brought back to life in the real world. Do you think we should?

I think that we have the technology to bring them back but I think we shouldn't

[OmegaZilla]

Jurassic Park did not introduce me to dinos.  I liked dinosaurs before Jurassic Park.  Of course, I love the T-Rex, every kid knew about the T-Rex.

You and me both.
I had lotsa books back in the time. And every night, mother had to read them. Oh the memories...

So do you guys think dinosaurs can be brought back to life in the real world.

As for now, no.
We'd have to pulverize tons of bones of one species to obtain part of the DNA of it (not even whole).

Do you think we should?

Yes and no. Yes, because we'd have the chance to study them and learn more about them. No, because 1. Their environment disappeared with them 2. they have no place in all the current ecosystems and 3. their eventual "resurrection" would cause criticize all over the world.

No. We have a difficult enough time keeping cloned sheep alive.

Do you think we should?

No.

I think that we have the technology to bring them back but I think we shouldn't

Rest assured, we don't.

I'm SORRY.

You must be right.

Since some scientist think T.Rex was the anscestor of the chicken, you maledoro must be right.

Not to mention, what few dinosaurs we could manage to clone and turn loose (if we did) would be poached before they knew what hit them.

[maledoro]

You must be right. Since some scientist think T.Rex was the anscestor of the chicken, you maledoro must be right.

I'm right in saying that some scientists believe that.

Detractors...people who just dislike it you mean?

[SM]

People who questioned it's accuracy.

[Sharp Sticks]

I love the Atrociraptor simply on the basis of its name.

Atrociraptor.

Hell yeah.

[galaxys ultimate hunter]

Tyrannosaurus Rex
The tyrant dinosaur King!

[DoomRulz]

People who questioned it's accuracy.

It had its fair share, though IIRC, the most glaring was the extraordinary claim that Liopleurodon was 150 tons. Even I thought that was a bit extreme.

[SpaceMarines]

Favourite? Tough call...
