Some Dinosaurs Made Underground Dens

anthemaniac writes "Scientists have long puzzled over how some dinosaurs and other creatures survived the asteroid impact that supposedly caused the KT mass extinction 65 million years ago and wiped out all the big dinosaurs. One idea has been that smaller animals, including mammals, could have endured the fallout, the big chill, the subsequent volcanoes, and whatever else by burrowing. Now scientists have come up with the first evidence of burrowing dinosaurs. They speculate that underground dens might explain how some dinosaurs got through long, dark winters at high latitudes, too."

    "I find it odd that people get so angry when evolution is attacked."

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally get angry when the theory of evolution is attacked by ignorant people who don't know that their criticisms have already been addressed many, many times over. For instance:

    "If evolution does exisit, that means man had to have had relations with a monkey in order to get more of the same species and a purifying of this to the human species we have now."

    You braying fucking jackass.

    "science does not really clarify whether or not evolution is the answer."

    Could you be any more vague, please?
