The goal: to enter what they believe to be a mammoth structure some 45 feet high, 75 feet wide and up to 450 feet long that was exposed in part by last summer's heat wave in Europe.
That seems quite long to be able to retain structural integrity. Any engineers here?
Also, by calling it a structure rather than a boat, does that mean the boat theory is still in question?

I'm sorry, I must be way out of the loop on this one. I always assumed that man and dinosaurs lived at the same time. Aren't there a multitude of cave drawings done by early men depicting dinosaurs? Or is that just made up in my mind?Originally posted by NPRLover:

Just this morning, he made the comment "... most of the people I know realize that dinosaurs were extinct long before man arrived on earth...". He must not frequent this board.

Remember that most dinosaur books were written by people who either do not know, or do not believe the Bible. (See "Why don't some people believe God made them?") Because of this they think the universe is billions of years old. So when they write a book about animals like dinosaurs they don't understand that God made them along with all the other animals and people.
Where did you find this site?

That is the funniest thing I've read here in a while. LOL.

Boss,
There are mainly two groups of those who think that man co-existed with dinosaurs: those that just aren't aware of the geologic time-line (which is pretty common - basically scientific ignorance), and those that choose to follow a literal biblical interpretation, which can be based on the earth being 6,000 yrs old, or the hazy reference in Job to a leviathan/behemoth/whatever.
Many reasons are created by those who want to be biblical literalists: flaws in carbon dating, god can do anything, footprints of dinosaurs directly adjacent to footprints of humans. The fundamentalists/literalists employ an interesting psychology to assuage their cognitive dissonance. You've seen it here by god's ambassador - they are right, everyone else is wrong.
That's my view, caustic and abrasive as it may be. But as you see, I don't suffer fools gladly.
As far as a link, here is something put out by the USGS. Whether you want to believe this is up to you. (note: I'm surprised W hasn't required this site to change its language.)
Did people and dinosaurs live at the same time?
No! After the dinosaurs died out, nearly 65 million years passed before people appeared on Earth. However, small mammals (including shrew-sized primates) were alive at the time of the dinosaurs. Many scientists who study dinosaurs (vertebrate paleontologists) now think that birds are direct descendants of one line of carnivorous dinosaurs, and some consider that they in fact represent modern living dinosaurs. This theory remains under discussion and shows that there is still much we don't know about dinosaurs.

You are wrong. There are 'dinosaur' drawings on the Ica stones. But you go right on watching the Flinstones......
Sarge...I'm actually more of a Jetsons guy, thank you very much. Sounds like you're a Fantasy Island buff to me.
