Dinosaurs living with humans?

Exactly right. Trying to determine probability afer the fact is ridiculous and "messed up." So why did you try to do it? That's what I dont understand. Apparently, you knew your argument was based on a ridiculous premise - obviously, because you recognized the ridiculousness of the same argument turned against you - so why did you offer it in the first place? No, it's not.Meiosis includes "crossover", where elements from complimentary chromosomes are exchanged. That means there's considerable variation among sperm in terms of exactly which genes they have and don't have. The sperm that fertilized your zygote wasn't one of 20 million exact copies. It may very well have had an entirely unique mix of genes. Obviously, they're not. Where did I say that they were? Please, don't put words in my mouth - especially not such stupid ones, ok? If you didn't have the unique mix of genes that you possess, you wouldn't be you. Since the odds of you possessing that unique mix are so low - one in millions - are we supposed to conclude that you aren't yourself?Or are we just supposed to conclude - as you so rightly did - that trying to argue from probability after the fact is an exercise in tomfoolery?

If that's true, then why was your argument based on the odds of forming chemicals that are required, as far as we know, only for our kind of life?You don't seem to be too clear on what you're arguing.

Please do investigate. Sorry, but I've never relied on the internet for info such as these. I got these info from my college biology courses and text books. Call me old fashion, I just don't like fishing for reliable info on the internet. Perhaps you would like to take a course on the subject at your local community college?

no, but it certainly look a lot like all those bigfoot tracks i keep seeing. maybe it was made by bigfoot! and it fits the bible too, that has to be what the giants are in gen 6 that walked the earth before the flood: BIGFOOT!this is my personal favourite dinosaurs-with-humans picture: just goes to show, skilled paleontologists can make better forgeries than creationists any day.This message has been edited by Arachnophilia, 06-02-2004 11:05 PM

Great, now Hangdawg will be touting Onyate Man as proof of creationism ... nice going Arachnophilia!

lol and it'll be funny if he does.http://www.nmsr.org/april_fool.htmlkent hovind himself was awarded the pt barnum "one born every minute" award by the new mexicans for science and reason.

This gets close to explaining why it is no more probable that all life was created miraculously than that you or I were created in the last millisecond with all our memories intact. One creation story's as good (nonsensical) as another, when it comes to probabilities.
