Giant Dinosaur Bird Discovered
Cyclist110 writes "The BBC has the story of the discovery, in Inner Mongolia, of a Dinosaur bird twice the size of a man and weighing in at over 3000 lbs. From the article: 'Chinese researchers uncovered the fossilised remains of the flightless giant in the Erlian basin in Inner Mongolia. The researchers had originally thought they had found the bones of a tyrannosaur — the group of dinosaurs to which T. rex belongs — due to their large size.'"
Waaaaaark!
BTW, she looks like she just smoked a big ol' rock doesn't she?
I have already spent years mastering the control of these beasts!
If birdlike dinosaurs got that big then giant chickens must be possible. Just imagine the MacNuggets!

All pass beyond reach of medicine. None pass beyond the reach of love.
Phorusrhacids (marketed as Terror Birds!!! by the ever highbrow Scientific American) are cooler giant extinct birds. I like the way in the SciAm pictures they have a thoughtful, confident expression too, like they're thinking "I could bite that dude's head clean off. I don't think he knows that"

Well, it's pretty simple, actually. I believe in some way, shape or form, God created the thing. Maybe He made it evolve, maybe He made it appear out of thin air...essentially I don't know, and don't need to. Creationism and science aren't necessarily exclusive. I simply believe that the scientific reasons behind what happens exist at the behest of a supreme being.

This thing cannot fly; it can only run. It is the Chocobo.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
We can not come to a conclusion that all of Chinese fossils out side of China are fake, but there is a big chance.
I have bought fossils from China. They sell everything over there no matter what they say. I had a Chinese trilobite embedded in a slab of sedimentary rock. Then my house burned down. When I went back to salvage it later I made my huge scientific discovery: trilobites were made of plastic!
once involed in the discovery of another "dinosaur bird" which

was shown as a fraud.
It was the "Made in China" label that gave it away

Clear evidence of intelligent design.

I for one mourn the loss of our Gigantoraptor overlords. May we always be rulled by beings as humble and powerful as the Gigantoraptor.
Error:
You're right. This theory of evolution doesn't make any sense, so Christianity must be right. Let's all pray to God and ask for forgiveness.
I too am glad that /. doesn't have a webcam facility.
Cogito, ergo sig.
There is no way this can be a fake. Everybody knows of these animals; they even are alive today
