It's thought that all dinosaurs, theropods in particular, could have had feathers at some stage of their development, even hatchling T-Rex could have had down type feathers. Sauropods shared many features of birds as well like hollow bones and advanced breathing apparatus no evidence of feathers but down type feathers on hatchlings is not impossible... http://www.walkingwithdinosaurs.com/news/editorial/diplodocus-sauropods-with-feathers/1/

NNS the ultimate in home protection...

Live in the city? Frustrated because you can't go hunting in your house? Roaches running rampant? This is the answer to that need to kill something! http://bugasalt.com/

I talked to the Goddess the last time she was full but she is determined to take away the sun for a short time to demonstrate her power....

I would take steps to remove the influence of money, our elected officials are nothing more than tools of the people who give them the most money. Corporations are not people either....

I'll be impressed when the Goddess blots out the sun to show all people her power! Nov the 3rd 12:47:36 UT

Oh well obviously, why didn't he say so the first time... BTW, I see nothing even remotely resembling a cross in those images...

OMG! It's the end of the world....

Feathers almost certainly evolved for warmth before they evolved for flight...

I see no cross, what are you talking about?

I'm not sure why you would expect them to be inversely proportional, Much of the CO2 is sequestered in limestone not biomatter, cooler temps mean more rain and erosion and the release of more CO2 which raises temps and lowers rainfall and erosion. The amount of O2 in the atmosphere is tiny compared to the CO2 sequestered in limestone...

I can envision a brobdingnagian creature that ingests dark matter and excretes universes just as easily as i can imagine an all powerful being, in fact the all powerful being is more difficult to imagine since it raises some questions of contradictions but my creature that simply excretes universes has no contradictions...

The main process if not the only one is called photosynthesis, no other process i know of releases O2 into the atmosphere in significant quantities.

If enough methane hydrate entered the earth's atmosphere it definitely would have an effect on the level of atmospheric oxygen. A huge amount of CO2 is sequestered in limestone, in fact it has been estimated that Earth and Venus have approximately the same amount of Carbon but all of the Carbon on Venus is in the atmosphere while most of Earth's Carbon is sequestered in limestone.

Where do you think it came from? What do you think was there? Infinite what? Why must life have a purpose? This is just proselytizing, please read the rules...

Please show me the facts, your word that this is the facts is not evidence of anything. And I have told you that nature is not evidence of anything but nature the rest of your statement is simply what you claim to be true with no evidence what so ever... Oh and by the way... Which God? Odin? Zeus? Adriana?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? Epicurean paradox Again you make assertions that need to be backed up by evidence as though everyone agrees with you, please tell us how you know these things or back them up with evidence... I'm not sure how this disagrees with what I said... The biblical concept of Satan is exactly that.

Actually in the old testament God actually claims responsibility for both good and evil. I can't remember exactly where but it is there.

I understand that is your assertion, if you would change that to it is your belief i would have no problem with it but an assertion needs to backed up by evidence, empirical evidence, do you have any evidence to support your assertion?

You are assuming that before the Carboniferous gas levels were the same as today, in fact CO2 was thought to be very high well before then but O2 was very low. As the CO2 was turned into oxygen and life forms the oxygen levels soared, this resulted in lush plant growth for the first part of that period then as CO2 levels crashed the climate turned cold, plant growth slowed. The extra Carbon was sequestered as coal and oil and limestone, limestone was probably a bigger sink for CO2 than coal or oil. The extremely high oxygen levels also fell due to fires that swept through the lush forests as the climate cooled and dried. Without the lush plant growth to replenish the oxygen the levels fell. I am sure it had some effect on overall air pressure but I can't find any references to that. Air pressure on the Earth has varied wildly as has it's gaseous content, before complex life and before the great oxygenation event it is thought that methane was a large part of the Earths atmosphere and quite possibly H2S as well.

Velociraptors were nothing like the animals in Jurassic park, kinda sad since the real deal was much more cool, like a deadly chicken! I see no reason to assume this creature couldn't climb but microraptor almost certainly could climb.

During the Carboniferous Period oxygen levels were as much as 40% higher than today and allowed insects to get quite large, Dragon Flies as big as eagles, CO2 levels were also quite high at that time as well. During the time of the dinosaurs CO2 was high as well and also resulted in lush plant growth and quite possibly larger animals but dinosaurs were able to get much bigger due to their physiology as well, even the sauropods had hollow bones and breathed similar to the way birds breath and this allowed them to get much larger than mammals ever have.

If I remember correctly I got the recipe from our history book...

I'm not so sure that smart was the right label but we managed to make a sizable quantity of gunpowder, enough to blow up several large stumps and a large rock out of a cliff face... I can't remember now where we got the potassium nitrate but sulfur turned out to be the hardest to find... I found a supply of sulfur seeping out of a large pile of fire bricks that had never been used, I have no idea why sulfur was seeping out of that pile of bricks... we were in the 6th grade...

If anyone thinks that information about bombs can be kept away from those who want to build a bomb I think you are closing the barn door after the horse is gone. When I was kid, almost 50 years ago we were building explosives out of various home supplies just for fun. Too little too late I am afraid...
