i like debating .. but am not crazy... and dont want to fight every day with my lover

well. some believe in current types of lizards are a "type" of dinosaurs"

To be pedantic, lizards are amongst the living reptiles least closely related to dinosaurs.
After birds (who are dinosaurs), crocodiles are the closest: they are also archosaurs, but split off at that point, whereas snakes and lizards split off earlier.

But only if you believe in it.

but let's face it he thought that rabbits were rodents - that's what happens if you use superficial features as the basis of your taxonomy

You do know that i'm now off to find out why rabbits shouldn't be rodents....

Its Sunday and you've made me go away and learn things

Please accept my apologies!

Old Welsh Proverb:

Give a man a rabbit and you feed him for a day. Teach a man the difference between rabbits and rodents and ... um ... er ... help me out on this.

Rabbits don't get into your car engine and chew the hell out of it. Grrrr!

 

[lunatic59]

Better rabbits than a T-rex. Oh wait, you don't believe in dinosaurs.

 

[Hadron]

Well a T-Rex that could get into your car engine isn't one I'd worry about too badly .

 

[MoodyBlues]

Well a T-Rex that could get into your car engine isn't one I'd worry about too badly .

No, indeed. I'd have been thrilled if T.Rex Marc Bolan had gotten into my car with me...

i get a distinct feeling....

you guys are NOT taking my poll seriously!!!!

 

[lunatic59]

If you have a purpose for your poll and the questions were answered honestly, then the comments shouldn't matter. The data is the result you're after, right?

 

[psionandy]

It was a great poll.. with some great options...

Well done sir!

I thought you were having a laugh, by including gravity and dinosaurs. These aren't beliefs, they're scientific fact.

Or making a social commentary about people who refuse to believe facts, even when indisputable.

 

[Milo Willamson]

It's easier to believe in (intelligent) aliens, whether they have ever visited us or not, that not to believe, especially given the ever increasing tally of potentially life-supporting planets being discovered than to believe that we live alone in splendid and unique isolation in the universe (which may not be the only one anyway).
Remember, Douglas Adams said 'Space is big, really big'

True, but you have to marvel at the spectacular convergence of conditions, which make life on Earth possible. Are we unique in the entire Universe? Probably not. But we're pretty damn rare.

I would personally love to live a Star Trek type 'federation of planets' Universe, with diverse species all living (fairly) harmoniously. Having said that, the Human race needs to evolve beyond what it currently is, because we're on a track to destroying ourselves, and that would be a real shame considering the possible uniqueness of our species.

As would I, but I fear that humanity is just a lab experiment that got out of control.
