You asked me to leave, but you still making points, and so I assume thats implicit asking me to continue to post in this thread?? I will assume you want me to post and not leave, the alternative is that you like to make one-sided points after someone has left a thread, which isn't really fair? As the originator of this thread, which is it?
Lol, regarding current depictions of dinosaurs, i walked straight into this one, I should have rather referred to recent civilizations not current ones (before the fascination with evolution over the last few hundred years.)

Coragys I feel the burden of proof is on you in this particular matter. You are the one claiming that under all post-PT boundary situations, chalk cannot produce fast. Even when conditions cause them to proliferate. What therefore limits the populations of coccolithopores to producing chalk at less than 15cm a year? 15cm a year would be enough to create those chalk deposits.
These organisms were abundant during the late cretaceous compared to today:Coccolithophorida | algae | Britannica "The coccolithophores became so abundant in the Late Cretaceous that vast quantities accumulated to form the substance for which the Cretaceous Period was namedchalk."

Yes I would, just for curiosity sake. It won't really add to either argument, my point wasn't a good one. (easy to see in retrospect - haha)

But that is not your argument - that is simply your claim: humans and dinosaurs co-existed. Yes I would, but only from the last 1000 years. Any earlier then you would be making my point for me, that dinosaurs could have recently become extinct. Your argument is that images of dinosaurs proves that dinosaurs and humans co-existed.This is clearly not true, as Dr. A's images show. Your argument has been invalidated.Your claim is unsupported. {abe}And here's a statue from around 1000AD: Edited by Panda, : No reason given."There is no great invention, from fire to flying, which has not been hailed as an insult to some god."

Percy, I referred to the Permian and the P-T boundary.
At the P-T boundary there was a marine transgression, Siberian traps (volcanic rainfall), melting glaciation, a large death event, changing sedimentation in flood plains, a magnetic reversal (cloud seeding). The world change from cold and wet, to desert-like Triassic conditions. There were marine and non-marine fungal spikes. Edited by mindspawn, : No reason given.

It guess it could be possible for those ancient civilizations to find dinosaur bones and make perfect reconstructions of them and how they fit together. Its possible those ancient civilizations had a good understanding of skeletal structures and could depict these accurately on temples and pottery etc. So yes my point was not 100% conclusive.
Moving on, what about carbon dating dinosaur bones, recent dates were found through carbon dating that contradict the standard view on their ages:C-14 Dating

Four links that show archaeological evidence in early civilizations for their knowledge of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were depicted in pottery and architecture in the same manner as other animals, as if their presence was just as common at that time. (Post 110) That is not evidence. And those are not dinosaurs.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

These are not just pictures, but archaeological observations.
Bullshit. They are representations of large lizards or fantastical creatures.Lets get an archaeologists interpretation. Or do you discount any evidence that does not support your preconceived religious ideas? Wait I found recent evidence. Both pictures and words describing a dinosaur in recent times.

Nice pictures. so you believe those Bolivians found a completely intact dinosaur skeleton and created a statue? Like I said, I guess that's possible that those primitive people could recreate an accurate statue from some bones. Good point!

How reliable is that web-page? Moving on, what about carbon dating dinosaur bones, recent dates were found through carbon dating that contradict the standard view on their ages:I suspect that ScienceVsEvolution.com have an axe to grind. For example: they think that C-14 carbon dating (which only dates items up-to ~50,000 years old) would produce an age other than ~50,000 years.(They also think that Dr. Walter Libby invented radio-carbon dating. *shrug*) There are limitations to each method of measurement. To ignore them is stupid.e.g. Take a grain of salt and measure its width with a ruler or its weight with your bathroom scales. Weighing a car with kitchen scales is stupid.And dating dinosaurs bones using C-14 is just as stupid.

He will just claim that dinosaurs existed at that time too.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

People have drawn 'dinosaur-looking' animals throughout history.To arbitrarily claim that images from 2000 years ago are of extant dinosaurs but images from 1000 years ago are of extinct dinosaurs makes no sense, and simply assumes your conclusion - i.e. circular reasoning.

mindspawn writes: Percy, I referred to the Permian and the P-T boundary. And you referred to the Carboniferous, too, and you talked about coal layers in both the Permian and the Carboniferous, so I don't know what to think. Would you agree with this statement:
"The P-T boundary represents the global flood." Assuming that's what you think, I'll interpret the rest in that context.
At the P-T boundary there was a marine transgression... There are marine transgressions in all eras. Do you mean globally? Do you have evidence that the entire earth was submerged by marine transgressions at the P-T boundary?
...Siberian traps (volcanic rainfall),... How is this evidence of a global flood?
...melting glaciation,... I'm not familiar with any evidence for melting glaciers at the P-T boundary, but glaciers advance and retreat all the time. How is this evidence of a global flood?
...a large death event,... How is this evidence of a global flood? Obviously something caused the mass extinctions. For the K-T extinction an asteroid strike is suspected because we have evidence of an asteroid strike, but the mass extinctions are not considered evidence of an asteroid strike. Mass extinctions are not themselves evidence for any particular cause. So what is your evidence that the P-T extinction event was caused by a global flood?
...changing sedimentation in flood plains,... I'm not familiar with this evidence. Did the sedimentation in flood plains change in ways indicating a marine environment throughout the world at the P-T boundary?
...a magnetic reversal (cloud seeding). So a magnetic reversal triggered cloud seeding which in turn triggered rainfall? There are magnetic reversals every few hundred thousand years recorded in the geological layers. Is there any evidence in those layers of magnetic reversals causing a global flood? Besides, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is about .01% of the water in the ocean - if it all fell as rain at once it wouldn't contribute much to water levels.
There were marine and non-marine fungal spikes. Non-marine fungal spikes are somehow evidence of a global flood? How can there be anything "non-marine" during a global flood? Anyway, if you read about fungal spikes in the Dating the extinction of the Wikipedia article on the Permian-Triassic extinction event you'll see that the much of what were thought to be fungal spikes turned out to be something else. --Percy
