Can I just say, never in my life would I have ever thought that an 18 minute lecture on the bone structure of Cretaceous dinosaur skulls and their characteristics would be funny, enlightening, and mind opening. But here we are. Thanks TED, and thanks Jack Horner.

"God could have created the universe through the processes of the Big Bang and Evolution"

Cannot be proved, or disproved. Folks who insist that some entity, 'god', created the universe are faced with the question ..what created god?

'God' is superfluous due to lack of evidence or a compelling philosophical argument for its existence. Logically, 'god' can be eliminated and we should conclude instead that the universe is uncreated - has always existed

He is saying that we have found juvenile Toro's I beleive, with holes in the frill
