UCL Earth Sciences researcher Dr Mike Taylor is part of an international team that has discovered a new dinosaur named Brontomerus mcintoshi, or "thunder thighs", for its enormous thigh muscles. The new species, discovered in the US, is described in a new paper published in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

  • @o0zeroeffect0o You're so tolerant. I love how you let people believe what they want no matter how much you disagree with it. You're not arrogant at all

  • Judging by the comments section, a religious war has been raging.

    Can I just say, on behalf of Christians, we're not all retarded. Equally, there's no need to constantly bad-mouth religion because that can make you seem just as closed-minded =)

  • Very enjoyable thank you

  • Very enjoyable thank you

  • @ElProximo by the way, according to me, God is a hidden treasure, it means, who get meet Him don't get prove it.

  • @ElProximo Did you know what epistemological barriers are?; all human being needs feel security about its own worldview, therefore, all person get defensive quickly as soon this one detects a menace related with its worldview, this kind of fears help to keep epistemological barriers between different persons. Paul discourse in Athena Areopagus was more empathic than defensive (Facts 17)

  • @ElProximo: Christian apologetic is just in case; the most of time it does not must be used. 

  • @ElProximo : Sooner or later you will realize you have been wasting a valuable time on useless discussions. Let me give you a advice: show your point and keep quiet. There is a psychological mechanism which close mind as soon it detects a threat.

  • @ElProximo My point in relation of "convinced people" is more basic than yours. A lot of people go to church every sunday, however, a really tiny group from them would die for Jesus. Keep in mind human being is religious by nature. I observe creationist-evolutionist controversy from southamerican viewpoint: In USA this kind of issue has political implications, but here, it's only a personal choosing.
