“New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. rex and other dinosaurs—monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans—may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe,” the item explained.

Be Afraid, Weaklings!

Nothing new here.

I'm diggin' the neck attire...it compliments the tree horns.

This morning, friend and fellow science writer David Dobbs forwarded me an American Chemical Society press release titled “Could ‘advanced’ dinosaurs rule other planets?” Since I was still a little bleary-eyed at the early hour, I thought I had read that wrong. But I saw it right the first time. “New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. rex and other dinosaurs—monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans—may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe,” the item explained.

Interesting, I wonder f they are getting any grant money from the federal government to help fund this research.

Breslow’s paper is primarily concerned with why the biochemical signature of life on earth is so consistent. Molecules such as amino acids, sugars, DNA and RNA exist in one of two possible orientations, left-handed or right-handed. Instead of showing a mixture of both forms, biomolecules typically come in only one form: Most sugars have a right-handed orientation, while most amino acids exhibit a left-handed orientation. Why life on earth should exhibit these particular arrangements and not the other possible orientations is a mystery that goes back to the origin of life itself.

Seems pretty obvious it's by design...just sayin'.

It seemed pretty obvious that the Earth was immobile and flat centuries ago too... Just sayin'.

Not really, not to anyone that was paying attention.

OK... Let's try your way...

Better?

If you say so...I actually welcome the findings of honest science.

Of course you define "honest" science as that which doesn't challenge your world view.

I could just as equally pose the same question towards you.

Actually, Eric... The only thing that shows obvious evidence of design in regards to this discussion IS your worldview... And it is an outdated design.

In fact, we could even trace it to the person(s) who designed a particular facet of that worldview, but it is ALL based on little if any 'facts', and unlike "honest science", cannot be repeated, validated, or verified... Where as in "honest science", one could perform the same test themselves if they so desired and independently yield the same result, thus confirming and validating the "honesty" part of it. Or, if it is wrong, yield that result as well, thus FALSIFYING the idea.

In other words:
"In general we look for a new law by the following process. First you guess. Don't laugh, this is the most important step. Then you compute the consequences. Compare the consequenses to experience. If it disagrees with experience, the guess is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not matter how beautiful your guess is or how smart you are or what your name is. If it disagrees with experience, it's wrong. That's all there is to it."
~Richard Feynman

You fuckers! Get away from the age-old debate about just how wrong and deluded eric is, and back to the point at hand: how awesome space dinosaurs are, and how they will eventually conquer the earth.

Nah, as the above photo shows, it only takes sulphur, saltpeter, diamonds, and a tube to stop alien space dynos.

Or a case of the sniffles.


I read a blog entry by a big fish over at SETI, and the one part that really stuck with me was, there could very well be advanced alien races who are in fact actively trying to communicate with us; but we're so primitive that we don't recognize these otherwise obvious attempts at communication for what they are (not verbatim).

Exempli gratia: do you think ants recognize our homes, streets, firehydrants, as the work of a superior intelligence?

SETI...I always chuckle when I read or hear anything about SETI.

I'm not so sure that your ant analogy holds much water. If extraterrestials were so vastly superior to us, you'd think they'd come up with a way to communicate with us in a way that even some of us as lowly humans could understand. After all, God did.

Oh and thirdly, I did, indeed, infer that God found a way to communicate to "some," not "all."
