Totally freaky, I never would have thought something like this was possible.

I'm hoping we can breed mini ones as pets. That would be hawt!

Except instead of frog DNA to complete the missing sections, we will use Ostrich, conveniantly closing the sexaul dimorphism problem highlighted in the Jurassic Park movies.

Very interesting stuff.

my pet T-Rex?

I say we clone Jesus. Or at the very least dig him up and stick him in a British museum.

He, like, totally escaped from his tomb. FYI: The Resurrection. And this sunday is also known as Easter. Look into it.

So, you'd have to look for cells left over on the ONE TRUE CROSS(tm).

My priest for first communion had a splinter of the supposed cross he kept in a locket around his neck. My guess is he was a bit more gullable than the average priest. Which is not saying much.

T-Rex are quoted in the Bible:

6 Moses famulus Domini et filii Israhel percusserunt eos tradiditque terram eorum Moses in possessionem Rubenitis et Gadditis et dimidiae tribui Manasse 7 hii sunt reges terrae quos percussit Iosue et filii Israhel trans Iordanem ad occidentalem plagam a Baalgad in campo Libani usque ad montem cuius pars ascendit in Seir tradiditque eam Iosue in possessionem tribubus Israhel singulis partes suas 8 tam in montanis quam in planis atque campestribus in Aseroth et solitudine ac meridie Hettheus fuit et Amorreus Chananeus et Ferezeus Eveus et Iebuseus 9 rex Hiericho unus rex Ahi quae est ex latere Bethel unus T rex Hierusalem unus rex Hebron unus

Yep... just waiting for the religeous wackos to come out in force about this...

Well, I sure don't want an IMAX film about it in the local science center. I don't believe in that stuff. It offends my religion for the newspaper to print stuff like this.

[deomacius]

Funny. I thought this was going to be a thread about dinosaur soft tissue. Just another religion bashing orgy. Really, I expected so much more from such an "enlightened" bunch.

[BasketofPuppies]

I recall the time they found those fossilized mosquitoes
And before long, they were cloning DNA
Now I'm being chased by some irate velociraptors
Well, believe me... this has been one lousy day

Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kinda eerie
But this proves my chaos theory
And I don't think I'll be coming back again
Oh no...

I cannot approve of this attraction
'Cause getting disemboweled always makes me kinda mad
A huge tyrannosaurus ate our lawyer
Well, I suppose that proves... they're really not all bad

Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no...

Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
What a crummy weekend this has been
Well, this sure ain't no E-ticket
Think I'll tell 'em where to stick it
'Cause I'm never coming back this way again
Oh no... oh no

Nice try buddy.


But the quote is genuine: teams of archaeologists dug for years the beaches of the Dead Sea for revelationsthat litterally shook the world with a roar.

Gigas were for wimps anyway.

how do you mean? are you saying t-rex was named t-rex because the bible had t-rex in it?

the name Tyrannosaurus rex was first named in 1912. it's only our modern love for shortening names for more impact...ie t-rex

so please let me know what u mean by nice try...please

Perhaps the T-rex was the unidentified father of Jesus?

SWG, you talk about Christians quite a lot. Personally, I'm not religious, but I don't go around trying to insult those who are. I sense that you are somehow insecure in your atheism. The frequency and manner with which you insult Christianity suggests that it is a big issue for you. I think that at this stage, you are beginning to feel uncertain about your direction in life, so you mask your insecurities by insulting others. You have picked Christians as your target, perhaps because your parents were Christian, and you obsessively point out their shortcomings and flaws in order to cover up your own. Ironically, this is very similar in a lot of ways to the case of the closeted homosexual, whose personal insecurities drive him to be offensive to gays.

That's why you should have your pet dinosaurs spayed or neutered.

bzzzzt, you didn't get one thing write in that whole story. Don't become a shrink, put you can try working for a Miss Cleo.

Ms Cleo wants for you to explain why you bring up Christianity in what seems to be all of the threads you participate in?

You know how they say people who are afraid of gays are gay themselves?

Maybe Star Wars Guy is a Southern Baptist and doesn't know it. Yet.

Yummy, indeed.

It'd be cooler to surgically implant it into your femur bone. Then, in ten million years, some strange little dude will dig you up, and he'll be screaming, "OMG TOTALLY 1337 I FOUND T3H HUMAN BONEZ." Then he'll get all confused when he finds that the flesh dates back 80 million years. "WTF T3H HOOMANS WERE DINOS, FUX0RZ."

He can't help himself. He has some very deep-seeded issues to deal with, related to both his emotional instability and his need to act out to gain acceptance. Maybe a couple of young Baptists beat him up when he was a child, who knows? Currently, however, he's starting to look at his life and realize that something's missing. So, his defense mechanism is to attack religion, but what he's actually telling us that he's looking for some type of spiritual fulfillment. It's the same insecurity that little kids show on the playground, acting out in front of their peers, picking on the little girls (or boys) who they're secretly interested in. Right now, it's his obsession, and he'll continue to do this until he gets this problem resolved.

jesus, that sounds like a christian...someone who has insecurities with their own beliefs because science has blown away all the dark ages and is now struggling with what is apparent that their belief system is 2000 years out of date.

how sad

You just prove with each additional post, you are just as ignorant, and as much a cheerboy against religion in each thread you post.

what's a golf clap? sorry i was raised a protestant in a religions family, my grandfather was a minister,...and i bet i'm older than u are and therefore has more experience...

i know what i say...i find more spiritual fulfillment knowing that we are million year old carbon

It's still ironic to see how someone who's lifestyle begs for tolerance, shows none.

To stay on topic, It'll be interesting to see how science explains the conditions necessary for soft tissue to survive that intact for over 60 million years.

Indeed.

[benb]

If we can move past the childish remarks and chest pounding to the real topic that would be nice.

For those who are in the know, was this previously considered possible by the scientific community? Namely that soft tissue could survive this long?
