Re: On being wrong...
I have a couple of serious questions I'd like to ask:
1) Did you not realize the information you were relying on was erroneous? Did some websites or creationists you trusted provide you with false information that you then posted here?
2) In either case, what good does it do for any cause to be associated with such erroneous claims? Certainly in science there is no benefit in being wrong--it is a disgrace at best and often a disaster to one's career. Is it different for creationists?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
He would have to admit to being wrong first. I don't believe he thinks you have proved him wrong, so your questions are moot.

The fact that fossils of dinosaurs exist today, and existed in the times when those legends were born should also be evidence that the dragon concepts were based on the fossils.
Again I suggest you read The First Fossil Hunters: Dinosaurs, Mammoths, and Myth in Greek and Roman Times by Adrienne Mayor.
Very interesting. I have never thought about it that way.

Though I must admit that Ica stones were claimed a Hoax. By the maker. My problem is why didnt artifact dating was not able to properly date these stones. By dating they unable to prove it was acient or not. Only the creator admission was anyone able to find this out. Not by dating.

So you cited evidence that you know to be a hoax.
This is why you are infuriating. While I don't agree with scotty in the least, you are falsely accusing him citing a hoax as evidence. Indeed he cited the hoax, but the hoax itself was not the evidence; it was science's inability to correctly date the stones that scotty used as evidence. He was saying that if science cannot correctly date artifacts, why should we believe they can correctly date dinosaur bones? The fact that he listed this evidence right after the soft tissue evidence of a t-rex should have given you a clue as to what he was using evidence for. The only way scotty could have used the hoax as evidence is he were trying to say the stones were as old as hoaxster originally said they were. This is dishonest of you unless you are in such a hurry to humiliate scotty that you did not take time to actually try and figure out what his argument was.

He's not making an argument about dubious dating at all. He's just citing the stones (amongst other bits of tosh) and saying "Look! Models of dinosaurs! HUMANS AND DINOSAURS MUST HAVE LIVED TOGETHER!!!". Scotty was quite content to cite the stones as evidence without bothering until later to mention that they were a known fraud.
Ok. I haven't read the whole thread much less the OP. That is why I misunderstood. I had only read the post I took the quote from DA. It seemed from that post alone that DA was falsely accusing scotty.

Yeah, don't want to reveal more of your arrogance and hatred toward fundamentalist Christians do you?

The moon might be made of blue cheese too. Why should anyone investigate further into the idea that simians are much older than traditionally thought?
