I don't know exactly happened all those millions of years ago, but there's lots of fossilized shit in the ground. So something killed all them dinos pretty quickly.

The Bible says nothing about these creatures so they never existed.

>>213402959
Yet reptiles also still survive, as do pre-dinosaur animals like alligators, turtles, and sharks. Sharks are still so primitive that they have still yet to evolve to have bone skeletons. They don't even have diaphrams to help them breathe. So they have to keep moving to keep the water they brreathe flowing through them or they'll suffocate. And they're older than dinosaurs.

>>213403033
except the Mormon bible does because it is the one true word of God

human like intelligence seems pretty rare, and it's entirely possible that dinos would just rule over the earth forever and ever and ever. that's werid to think about. the earth exists for another 500 million years, but no one is smart enough to really think past their basic needs. For them it's just an endless cycle of hunting, eating, sleeping, dying.

There's probably infinite worlds just like this all over the galaxy and universe. Just a planet with a bunch of dumb animals hunting each other forever.

Mammals are boring.

Any species can evolve with enough time. It's not exclusive to humans. Humans just beat all others to that finish line. We had to evolve because we're animals that are poorly-equipped to survive.

We have no physical armor or defense against threats. We're not the fast predators by any stretch. We are meat-eaters yet we can't eat most types of meat raw. Puddles, rivers, and ponds that every other species of animal drink from will harm or kill us if we drink from them. We have nothing to protect us in the environment whether it be cold or hot. Our immune systems are weak to where a paper cut or mosquito bite can kill us. We need fire and need tools to survive. We're so poorly-equipped for the natural world that it's like we're a manufactured race dropped into an alien environment we're not a natural part of.

Once you have complex organisms, intelligence will pop up sooner or later. The Earth literally had 3 billion years where bacteria was the only form of life. Then somewhere along the way, the first eukaryote cells started forming, we start to get multicellular organisms, then boom. Cambrian explosion. I'm sure that the universe is actually full of life, but it'll be mostly bacteria and things like that.

It's worth noting that humans didn't evolve into what we are now by natural selection. Learning to cultivate fire allowed us to restructure our anatomy-- Other mammals' bodies are built to digest raw food, which takes a lot of energy. By cooking on a fire we redirect that energy to our freakish brains. It's literally a cyborg stomach.

From there we developed agriculture et cetera which made us even weaker and brainier. In the future we will just be big bald gray heads on top of vestigial bodies then we'll invent time travel and go visit the 20th century niggers in our flying saucers

We actually are not poorly equipped, we are maxed dexterity builds. Most animals have nothing close to our fine motor control. The reason our fine motor control is our defining feature is that learning to use it to throw literally beats evolution. But also this development of fine motor skills also corresponds to better tool making and fire making. Which as another Anon pointed out unlocks cooking which allows our bodies to run on high octane fuel. Cooked food yields higher caloric payoff and increasing our energy we literally gave our brain fuel to grow

>Anyone else thinks this is bullshit?
the overwhelming evidence points towards asteroid. Its even quite recent, it was only in the 80's when the asteroid theory began to crush the vulcanism hypothesis due to new tech.
Also it wasn't overnight. Its debated how long after the asteroid hit it took for all non avian dinos to go extinct. Some say 10k years, some 100k years and my favorite theory is that some small dinosaurs survived for millions of years and saw the rise of the mammals but they could not compete in a very different world with very different animals around. This theory is not well supported but its fun to think about.
Its generally agreed that most big dinosaurs went extinct pretty quickly due to starvation.
>All that work gone to waste. Reptiles went from top dog to barely existing and lost all their relevancy. Mammals became the top dogs.
This happens after every major extinction event. Some groups are on top, some are not, then major climatic change happens for one reason or another (all major extinction events are literally just climate changes) and the order of things often takes a turn. Before the dinosaurs came along in the Triassic, there had already been like 2 or 3 major exctinction events.
>>213405294

kek the fact these things survived the permian extinction, literally the most intense mass extinction event known to us, and then went on to spread like wildfire throughout the planet to the point that their fossils literally flood the fossil record during that time is so fucking funny

They will look at themselves and wonder why the fuck do they even continue and why the fuck have they inherited so much from the humans that created them. There will be no answer, just like we don't have it right now. We have paleolithic instincts, medieval institutions and the power of gods.

>genetic super killer has entered the chat

What amazes me about megafauna is that a lot of humans encountered them and killed them one by one until there was no one left. A lot of animals went extinct after humans were clever enough to hunt them down, but still not quite ready to build civilization.

In prehistory you had rhinos roaming Europe. In Ancient times we had lions from Spain to India. You could be walking around and find yourself next to a giant sloth. There was no knowledge of how big the world was, you honestly didn't know what was possible to encounter, so imagine all of the monsters and half true stories we had back them.

>Any species can evolve with enough time. It's not exclusive to humans. Humans just beat all others to that finish line. We had to evolve because we're animals that are poorly-equipped to survive.
That's not what evolution is, retard. Evolution is the natural selection of traits that guarantee the propagation of that species. Most of the time it favours cost effectiveness; basic designs that require very little maintenance. That's why crocodiles and crabs have existed for like millions and millions of years.

Evolution is NOT an inevitable progress towards a higher form of life or consciousness. Human intelligence is an incredibly bizarre evolutionary trait that completely broke the planet's food chain and our own evolutionary history. That anon is probably correct in that if the dinosaurs never died, out, they would probably just be roaming around still in less recognizable forms. the likelihood that humanlike intelligence evolved on other planets is also incredibly low. he's right. if we find life on another planet it's more than likely to resemble animal intelligence than anything like us.

The bigger mammals all got genocided by the Permian Extinction.

Most modern mammals descend from shrews since anything bigger couldn't find enough food to survive.

Evolution is incredibly fake and gay. What good does 1/1000000 of an organ do you?

>>213412874
more than 0 of an organ

>>213410509
that's got to be fake

>>213412966
It would be non functional and therefore be a net loss of energy. A partially evolved organ would effectively make it more difficult to pass on genes. Therefore, evolution is impossible.

>>213413081
>>213412874
Take your pick.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_vestigiality

>>213413081
A worm's eye can only distinguish between light and dark, and its a huge benefit to the worm.

>>213413163
Ever example of vestigiality is either a totally functional organ (like the appendix) or misidentified spurious morphology (like Darwin's tubercle).

>>213413871
That assumes that the worm eye is "simple" and could occur within one generation.

>>213413912
No one says eyes evolved in one generation. Even a tiny light-sensitive patch helps survival. That’s not useless, it’s an advantage. Over time, small useful changes add up. That’s how complex organs evolve.

>>213414048
So a light sensitive patch evolved in one generation? Is that your supposition? Then my point stands.

>>213402808
>thinks reptiles ruled le everything
>mammals have existed since the jurassic and archaic mammaliforms from the permian
We need to improve education. People seriously think life before the modern era was just a slaughterhouse of dinosaurs running around killing everything.

>>213402808
It still can happen.

>>213403254

imagine blazing a fat ass blunt and watching all the crazy ass bugs flying by

>>213415152
No, it didn’t evolve in one generation. Evolution works gradually over many generations through tiny changes. A light-sensitive patch starts as a few mutated cells that slightly improve survival. Those mutations spread because they help. Over thousands or millions of generations, this patch becomes more complex.

I do think paleontologists are probably full of shit. Biologists are using DNA to discover that so much of what they used to think about phylogeny was wrong, but paleontologists are still like "Let me tell you the exact evolutionary history of this animal based on a piece of a rock shaped like a tooth".

Some of them ARE the common ancestor for birds.
And there were reptiles that people commonly call dinosaurs. Like the flying doods like Pteradons, those were flying reptiles, and the aquatic dinosaurs like the pleasiasaur or ichthyosaur, they were also reptiles.

Its mentioned in the original book, but they aren't dinosaurs. They're weird mutation abominations that look like what people expect dinosaurs to look like.
Dr. Wu wanted to wipe out the entire population and start with a new generation they had developed that were partially less artificially constructed and hammond told him to fuck off because they had already spent billions, and it was good enough.

Crocodilians are very distinct and we know that from their own skull structure. This argument would be better if more animals were like it, but it is JUST crocodiles.

You don't even have to use mammals to see that, lizard skulls have quite a bit of flesh on them for example and can cover up very long teeth. (Crocodile monitors are a good example)

so does this mean the dinos actually did taste like chicken?

Personally I think it’s just a series of small scale battles where mammals won over time.
Most likely by smashing up all those dinosaur eggs, and just winning by attrition.

Bacteria are the top dogs if you're going by sheer numbers. Or viruses are the top dogs if you consider them to be alive (like I do). I consider viruses to be non-cellular organisms.

it's not really possible for an animal that huge and that common to have been an obligate scavenger. there simply wouldn't have been enough food for it.

it's true that it couldn't run fast tho. they've done calculations showing that running more than 20km/h would cause its leg bones to fracture given its weight. if you can run 5k you could probably outsprint a tyrannosaur because you would only need to sprint faster than 27km/h over the distance of like 20 meters before the rex completely ran out of energy

the leading theory is that it was a stealth ambush predator that used its exceptional eyesight and smell to track and follow prey at walking speed, and that its feet were probably cushioned to mask the sound of its approach. it would get as close as possible to its prey and then make a brisk jog to catch it.

it's kind of funny how we've come back full circle to t-rexes being giant lumbering sloths after decades of imagining them as fast speed pursuit hunters

This is so fucking contrived, there's no way this is true. No animal hunts like this. No animal that large could possibly move that silently. No animal breaks its legs from running slightly too fast.

>>213425224
>No animal that large could possibly move that silently.
it's possible if all its prey are also fucking massive dinosaurs that live in herds making a shitload of noise all the time.

horses break their legs all the time from running due to stress fractures

Sleeper sharks and Greenland sharks hunt like this. They have incredible senses of smell and use them to wait and ambush seals which are must faster and more agile than them even though the sharks are slow moving and bulky
