It ate fish and other small animals like small reptiles and other small mammals. The pterodactyl was alive during the late jurassic epoch. It lived on many different continents. It lived in Europe‚ Australia‚ North America‚ and Africa. The pterodactyl was one of the smaller members of the pterosaur family

Can scientific evidence prove there is a personal concerned‚ God outside the universe? Lee Strobel very early in his teenage years decided that based on the evolutionary thought of Darwin and later others prominent theology‚ there could not be a God who loved humans personally and created a universe by design. He went on to college where he became a sincere atheist. However he could not remain content there for long because as he admits he was always searching for answers as his career in journalism

Of all the species that have existed on Earth 99 percent have gone extinct and even fewer make it into the fossil record and a very small fraction of those that fossilize are actually found even partially complete. Even if all of them did fossilize many would be too hard dig for many of them. And also it is highly unlikely that most would be found complete‚ due to the number of natural disasters and processes that have happened from the animal’s death to whenever it is discovered. Natural disasters

years earlier than the previously oldest known dinosaurs‚ and could change researchers’ views of how they evolved. The scientists published their findings in the journal Biology Letters. Some scientists‚ including the authors‚ caution that the fossils could also represent a close relative to dinosaurs. The earliest dinosaurs were probably Eoraptor and Eodromaeus‚ which were true dinosaurs‚ and lived in what was Argentina 230 million years ago. In 2010‚ Sterling Nesbitt‚ a paleontologist at

The Origin of the Earth‚ One of God’s Hidden Secrets “Much of geology is pure speculation and is as such on the same basis as philosophy‚ or must be accepted on faith‚ as the truths of theology” (Rehwinkel 177). For geologists this means that any theory of how the Earth‚ atmosphere and life originated‚ takes faith to believe‚ whether it is the evolutionist’s view or the creationist’s view. Creationists believe that the Earth was created 6000-7000 years ago. This number is based on what the Bible

Are you fascinated by dinosaurs or do you play many dinosaur games? Well guess what they might actually be all around us and they might not be as destructive as many of us think of them as. Dinosaurs ruled the our planet for millions of years‚ and they have been believed to go extinct by many humans. But the truth is that modern versions of dinosaurs are all around us. Scientists have been observing common features between the two species‚ and research shows that these animals are linked. The new

and the rapid formation of major mountain chains. Plants and animals living in those parts of the world where these disasters took place were often killed off according to Cuvier. Then new life forms moved in from other areas. As a result‚ the fossil record for a region shows abrupt changes in species. Cuvier’s explanation relied solely on scientific evidence rather than biblical

catastrophists believed that the Earth’s geological features were the result of numerous sudden‚ brief‚ violent events. One such theorist was French paleontologist Georges Cuvier. His drive was to find an explanation for the extinction patterns he observed in fossil records. Cuvier suggested the catastrophe responsible for the more recent extinctions in Eurasia might have been caused by floods‚ although no references to Noah’s flood were made. This was because Cuvier avoided using religious or metaphysical reasoning

Fossils and Penguins Actions for ’Fossils and Penguins’ I have always loved fossils‚ and the discovery of what the fossils bring to us today‚ so I thought I would find out some information about fossils. I found an article about fossils and penguins. I love penguins and find them unique and interesting. Australia has a fossil record of penguins as far back as the Eocene period‚ which is the second Epoch period of the Tertiary period‚ between Paleocene and Oligocene Epochs which is 33.9 to 56 million
