T. rex, Finish Your Broccoli: "Scavengers" Pt. 2.1

http://chiasmatic.net

Discussing the claims of T. Rex being a scavenger.

My goal isn't to discredit the idea that T. Rex is a scavenger as much as it to display what is thought and show that it's a completely irrelevant argument.

Sorry my audio clip assembly is kind of messy, I was doing all this in bits and pieces of free time :P.

so cute when you said "no shit".

BTW, from some discovery channel documentary, it stated that the T-Rex is possibly a scavenger because of the small arms, and sluggish maneuverability.

Though, I don't know.

[Biogirl52]

Yeah. My point was more over not so much discrediting that idea as it was saying that proving T. Rex to be a scavenger is irrelevant.

[beliserius]

Oh I know, Because what about raptors? and other clear predatory dinosaurs.

Or even predatory mammals.

It just doesn't make sense for them to be scavengers(meaning a heck of a lot of things die), or vegetarians (meaning snake can chew grass).

All makes as much sense as if Goats are flesh eating man hunters.

[Biogirl52]

Hehehe. Quite. I'm sure there's some obscure reasoning for it out there.

Anyways, I don't have any problem with the hypothesis that T. Rex was a scavenger. It makes a lot of sense, but it's not widely accepted at current. I just wanted people to see that it's an argument with no real influence in the greater picture of things when it comes to Creat/Evo debates.

Thanks for your compliments :D

"Yet this is trash that the Church imposes upon the world as the Word of God; this is the collection of lies and contradictions called the Holy Bible! This is the rubbish called Revealed Religion!" ~Thomas Paine

It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes. ~Thomas Paine

Refuting creationist arguments like these is similar to punching an infant.

[InternetDarkLord]

Actually, even a scavenger T. Rex would disprove the Bible, it says "green herb" Read Genesis Chapter 1, verse 30. The entire argument is a strawman.

[EtaCarinaez]

the fact that these creationists mentioned a t-rex attacking brachiosaurs already shows how stupid they are because obviously they got no further than watching jurassic park xD

i goota say, this video is hilarious

and awesome too

i didn't know there were people who believed t-rex ate plants and that all dinosaurs lived at the same time and were all herbivorous

or were that stupid or hypocritical

i mean, come on, it's the twenty-first century!

since i love dinosaurs, that offends me

and you have a good sense of humor. five stars for you!

[Chase9803]

most dinosaur species that scientists label are just viariations of the same species. I think that Trex being a scavenger makes sense because something had to eat those giant herbivore dinosaurs when they died of natural causes or there would be a giant dead thing rotting it would be gross. Also for noahs flood the animals all cooperated and did not attack eachother because of the grace of God and that was not his will in this one time thing.

[weberly2]

yes, dragon stories. it's odd that people from all over the globe have them, when they didn't even know about each other.

[gregrutz]

dragon stories. check out the UFO stories too. OR the flood stories

I prefer science and reality.

[weberly2]

i'm off topic, but i like talking about this stuff. yes, i believe in the Bible, if that's what you are referring to, for a number of reasons. parts of it are told in stories to make a point, and because of an oral tradition, but i tend to believe them literally. some people don't. but as far as legends in general, they can inform, they may contain a seed of truth and it's fun to trace their development. i am interested in the words & artwork people left behind. dragon stories for example.

[gregrutz]

You are 2000 years behind the times, still believe in old stories.

[weberly2]

there are stories passed down from cultures all around the earth about a great flood, not just the Hebrews. i find that kind of interesting. i think the ancients were a lot more capable, intelligent, and even sensitive than usually depicted and i really don't think our modern scientists know all that more or know everything, as people like to think. our ancestors may have been smarter than us, all of our knowledge has the benefit of being built on what someone before us thought or discovered.

[gregrutz]

No, it depends on weather you look at the facts [geology] or keep your head buried in the bible.
