There is some interesting stuff written on human migration and timelines as best we can work out. And while the timelines may be still under dispute, the routes are pretty accurate based on tracking dna.
I know that climate change had a big impact on the first people of Australia, as they were able to access areas and then basically cut off when land bridges submerged.
Tasmanians were one of the most isolated people on earth for roughly 8000 years they were isolated from any other people.

Then why didn't they grow wings, or horns, or tails, like Darwin predicted they would ?

Per Taylor:
Quote:
"One thing is for sure: the theropod dinosaurs were not created to eat meat. God created all creatures to eat plants, and he gave some of them sharp teeth so that they would be able to do so. Some of those particular mechanisms of different sorts, including teeth, may have changed after Adam’s sin so that such creatures could eat meat.”
Bullshit, of course: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/07/130715-tyrannosaurus-r
ex-predator-duckbill-dinosaurs-paleontology-science/
My! what arrogance. Even poster boy paleontologist Horner disagrees with you, and this fossil was in his back yard, so to speak. Did you ever read the article before citing it, or , like most, just posted a convenient heading. So get with the program - this fossil does NOTHING to prove your point. The problem with this unfounded arrogance is that you use your mythology to explain the evidence, rather then the scientific way of limiting what you are sure of to the evidence. And this link to Nat Geo simply proved that there was a tooth in a tail. The same Nat Geo, by the way that has run a number of frauds as real discoveries - not at all uncommon in the evolutionary world of science - such as the Acheoraptor story, which was a complete fabrication. From the EVIDENCE we know there was contact - between a T Rex and a hadrosaurus. THAT is all we know. Were they in a fight? Was the Hadrosaurus carrion as Horner suggests? We do0 NOT know, and your suggestion this PROVES anything is totally false.
The evolutionary myth makes far too many assumptions - sharp teeth are NOT a sign of a carnivore. Fruit bats and Giant Pandas are NOT carnivores nor are camels, BUT your myth classifies them as such, based on their teeth. This is an erroneous conclusion based on the evolutionary myth.
I have personally photographed T. Rex teeth. Using simple engineering, their teeth would NOT be useful as a carnivore - the ratio of teeth to root is far to small to allow the force needed for T Rex to actually attack another animal that could fight back. YOU are not a carnivore, but your tooth to root ration is about 1:1. The T Rex tooth has a tooth to root ration os about 5:1, making it perilously easy for the tooth to be pulled in battle. And a toothless T Rex is NO predator.
The T Rex teeth look much more like the tines on a mower designed to cut up huge amounts of long grass than deadly fighting tools.
And funny you should forget to mention that these bones from the Montana fields have red blood products, flexible blood vessels and tendons, and discernible DNA. After 64 million years? Now THAT'S scientific! Anything to keep the myth alive! Oh, yes - C14 as well. Did you Really MEAN 64,000,000 YEARS? I didn't think so!
OH, and one more thing - The ONLY people I have ever heard say that God put dinosaurs on earth to test people were evolutionists. As a former evolutionist, I have NEVER met a Creationist who ever said that. Just another strawman argument by the arrogant evolutionists. Does ANYONE believe that? Probably - there is still a flat earth society in America - all evolutionists by the way - but no one with any common sense, understanding of the scriptures (where there are reasonable descriptions of dinosaurs) or basic knowledge of science. And with maybe 100,000 tenured Creationist professors, your comment is certainly the outlier, if it has any truth at all.

Not sure whose sock puppet Happy here is,but I am not amused.
Member since ... today ? Precious.
T.Rex teeth... tines on a mower ? That's rich. You claim to have photographed t.rex teeth.. really? From which specimen ? I happen to know a few. Maybe it's one I've seen before.
And I happen to actually HAVE a tooth, my own self. ( albeit a replica. Museum quality, mind you )
And your math isn't just wrong, it's stupid wrong. 5:1 ? More like 1:1 easy.
Again, not sure what the point of this sock puppet act is, but please, be a stranger.

Well, here's MY pic. Where's yours ?
This belonged to 'Stan', whom I had the pleasure of meeting, in person, when I visited. S. Dakota. Not the best pic, but it gives a clear shot of just how ridiculous Happster's claim of 5:1 ( tooth to root ) actually is. The root is actually a bit longer than business end of the tooth. You can even see on the tooth the gum line impression.

Yeah, what dark rock did THAT whacko crawl out from under? Wild...we have an honest-go-gawd, live "creationist" among us, folks. I guess, or it's somebody's idea of a really boring joke. ...wow...
And how the hell did they go all the way back to LAST FALL to find this little gem? Wandering the internet for some specific purpose, I wonder?
Do we care?

Probably shouldn't. But I've noticed a fair amount of aged threads being dug up and hoisted to the top of the page in the past week or so.
Not sure what that's all about either.

If there is something I want to talk about today, and I recall seeing an
old thread on that topic, I will go looking for the old thread and bump
it rather than start a new one.
Usually, I'm unable to find the old thread I'm looking for from the Blue
Sun room search.
"58% of Republicans Are Young Earth Creationists" When I skimmed thru
here, I first read that as "58% of Americans Are Young Earth Creationists"
... I thought, "Oooooooh! We're in way more trouble than I thought."
I'm going to blame some of our current idiocy on high fructose corn syrup
and other GMO foods. Mostly, we are intentionally misled says my instinc-
tive conspiracy theory.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.

Not as big as Godzilla, but pretty big.
THE largest dinosaur ever found, thought to have weighed as much as
14 elephants, has been unearthed in Argentina, say scientists.
The "titanosaur" is estimated to have weighed 76 tons and would have
been about 40m long and 20m tall — roughly equal to a seven-storey
building when its neck was in the air.

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.
