Ancient 'Godzilla' Crocodile Discovered

Posted by Zonk on from the friendly-looking-critter dept.

SenseOfHumor writes "Paleontologists have discovered a huge crocodile which was a predator of large sea creatures. A Jurassic-age crocodile had the massive jaws and jagged teeth needed to hunt large sea prey, paleontologists say. The crocodile, nicknamed Godzilla, was nearly four metres long with a short snout like a T. rex, four fins and a vertical, fishlike tail." Photos and drawings are available at National Geographic, and more science at ScienceDaily.

    I hope DNA is still useful and extractable. Let them (scientists) extract it. If they can find a few cells, cloning could be possible. Then, once again there can be a chance of seeing the giant creature alive.

    Look into history, on the one side that aacknowledged the presenc of God as "unknowable" and "unconcious." As far as I know, anyone that makes ANY kind of determination or distinction of history is making one based on Intelligence. Please don't confuse THAT intelligent design cult with our fellow Intelligent scientists.

    And did you not study your adversary? His Bible, record to the words of Jesus and King David, says the people are gods. This isn't difficult to comprehend: you are a god if you are living: you are a god if you can make a judgment on facts and lies that move towards you! Prayer is just this: put a matter in the hands of the almighty, above all others, an appeal to Him that is not in the world while in the world. The Pharisees, holding the Talmud -- even THEY acknowledge God, with exception that God is unknowable and unconcious. Can you see a baby throwing a tantrum? That day-old bottle of spoiled milk is the work of a whiny-god, and in that bottle of spoiled milk was created life as the result of a tantrum. Search your mind.

    This isn't a difficult parable! I found no fault in the Scientists, but when they devolve just as that little baby and argue what does or doesn't exist: unicorns, Landover Baptist, sound, leprachauns! It is all evidence or SHARED PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER (Folie a Deux). Let me remind you, BOTH FEUDING PARTIES ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THOSE HONEST PEOPLE THAT PARTAKE ON THESE PRINCIPLES. Evidence, or Disorder.

    > Where do you think the stories about sea monsters and dragons across multiple cultures come from?

    Probably from seeing whale penises.
