Everybody know the earth is 6000 years old! That is one of Satan's turds... ;-) Seriously though, that is amazing. I'd give anything to have 'Doc's' Delorean time machine. That is the timeframe I'd be messing around in. We just can't fathom millions of years... Thanks OP. [/quote] How do you know it isn't 5,000 years old? [/quote] I said 6000 :-) And how do I know it's not? Logic and some reasoning. You know, that shit that is antithical to christians. I can understand how primitive desert dwellers might have believed such a thing... [/quote] Quite frankly, you have to be very simple-minded and willfully ignorant to believe this is some 100 millions years old. [/quote] believe what you want to friend and leave others to do the same, take the higher ground. FYI carbon dating is the new genesis in my eyes...let's not waste time doing the creationist vs evolutionist dance; we both know neither of our beliefs will change afterwards. Peace. [/quote]
Original Message
Researchers have found what they say is the only fossil ever discovered of a spider attack on prey caught in its web – a 100 million-year-old snapshot of an engagement frozen in time.
The extraordinarily rare fossils are in a piece of amber that preserved this event in remarkable detail, an action that took place in the Hukawng Valley of Myanmar in the Early Cretaceous between 97-110 million years ago, almost certainly with dinosaurs wandering nearby...
