Now that would be cool! :thumbsup:

In fact they should make 2 or 3 movies I think!

I'd love them to try and create one.

That would be awesome.

That's pretty amazing...I wonder if anybody has the rights to the names "Isla Nublar" and "Isla Sorna"

(Somewhere, Jeff Goldbloom is getting oddly excited...)

Chaos theory, MAN!

 

[Baked]

Oooh oooh, it'll be like that episode of Futurama where they have T-Rex feeding zoo where you can feed them sheeps from the giant gumball machine.

Oh great, now the power is going to be shut down and we're going to have Velociraptors running all over the f'ing place!

Imagine smelling it, and smelling what a dinosaur smelled like.

Smells like chicken.

Oh and this is awesome.

If its true there will be the largest bone-breaking party since Evil Knievel rode.

How is it possible that the tissues were not lost or petrified after millions of years?

Because the whole idea of "millions" of years is a falicy, but that's a whole nother conversation.

The finding certainly shows fossilization does not proceed as science had assumed

Surely your highness meant "fallacy".

Wow, and they can charge anything they want: two thousand a day, ten thousand a day, and people will pay it. And then there's the merchandise... oh wait...

Here, take the ethics quiz on this subject
I got 10/10 without reading the article

Easy quiz. Silly questions. "The lawyer and Hammond?" Why not just tell us what the answer is? His name, btw, in Genaro.

I think I read a book like this -- it was called "Billy and the Clone-a-saurus."

Oh my dear fscking lord.

How can you sleep at night thinking that the universe or even that rock over there is only a couple thousand years old?

It makes my head hurt. There are trees that are alive and over 4,000 years old.

Gah!

lol

Makes sense. Probably some that got started right after the flood.

 

[Triforceofcourage]

You spent all this time thinking about if you could but you should have spent that time thinking about whether you should

 

[Rumpltzer]

This article has pictures of the soft tissue.

As I've seen this same mistake twice in the last 2 days (by 2 different posters)... to clarify a misunderstanding, Creationists believe that the world is at least 6,000 years old. Not 2,000 (how would that make sense when Christ was have lived 2,000 years ago and there's the entire Old Testament before Him?).
And the 6,000 years is only the time since Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eve, so there could have been a nearly unlimited time before then.
I personally don't believe either way (preferring to stick with things I know rather than other peoples' guesses), but I just thought I'd clear this up.


As for why I think cloning T-rex's would be a bad idea... well, IMO people have very large misconceptions about humans and nature. The "Disney" myth, I call it. The belief that animals and nature are good and humans are bad (the corollary of this being that people think that humans are not part of nature, which is a ridiculous belief to have, especially for people who claim to believe in evolution). A geat example I can think of right now on this topic is from the first Matrix movie. Agent Smith tells Morpheus that he thinks that humans are more like viruses than mammals because only humans reproduce and spread until all their resources are consumed, and other mammals don't as they seek a "harmony" in nature. That's complete bullsh!t. Unless contained by predators, ALL animals reproduce and spread until all their resources are consumed. Dr. Malthus proved this 200+ years ago. Uncontained by predators and/or hunters, deer will reproduce until they've eaten all their grass and then they'll die of starvation, which is why limited deer hunting is actually good for the deer population.
So... if humans re-introduce T-rex's, we will have to become their predators in order to control them, or else T-rex's (like all other forms of life) will reproduce and spread as far as they can. And I have this feeling that T-rex's and humans won't get along too well.

I think that's pretty cool.
