If your wondering What the fuck I'm talking about, I'll help you out. Last night My dad was scrolling through the channels and I realized he stopped on something talking about Dinosaurs. I paused, looked up from the computer and realized it was on Channel 2. I fought the smirk (cause I'm a dick) and warned him, "Hey, don't watch that, it'll make you rage." But I just didn't realize how MUCH rage would come bubbling.
Channel 2 (which i think for all TV's) is the Christian Faith channel. So right there, red flag waving high and proud in front of our eyes. But Dad kept watching, and I continued to listen, from time to time looking up at the TV, but as time went on I foudn myself more and more having the TV grasp my attention because of what was coming out of their mouths..
Now, Let's get this fact straight.. RIGHT HERE.. I do NOT in ANYWAY have any hate, or bad words for any of the Christian faith who are rational. Which is sadly not the majority (I mean evangelicals. Whom I think may be the majority. I'm not spouting facts so I could be COMPLETELY wrong who the majority is, but I'm pretty sure is Evangelicals.)
Anyway.
The show was aimed at kids to teach them about the bible and how Dinosaurs fit in and so on. They had a bumbling 'scientist' character and three "Archeoligists' (including a dinosaur -dude in a get up-) They were talking about how man lived with Dinosaurs and they were created on certain days. Dinosaurs never evolved from birds, they are far to different and science has never proven that things 'evolve' cause it's never happen before our eyes.
All things I was prepared for, but then I was smacked upside the head:
"Do you see this T-rex here?" Said the 'Archeologist' "He had really sharp teeth! Don't you think that would be great for eating plants? Everything was a plant eater before Sin, so these would have been great to cut though leaves and small branches."
I kinda fell over in my chair. Both my dad and sister about died from laughter and shock.
It's like..WTF? REALLY?
Then it hit me, a long time ago I was watching a thing on the Creationist Museum and they spoke about Lion and the lamb and they would both eat vegetables and plants and grasses side by side. To their credit felines and canines DO eat grass, but when they do.. they throw up. Thats why they eat it, my dogs and cat's can testify for this, it's good to help them get something out if they are feeling ill.
To be fair a very small number of lizards Beardies and Mali Uromastyx would be two that come to mind do eat plants. OH and an Iguana (fruits to). That's three off the top of my head. There are a few who eat fruits mostly gecko's.
But when you take something like a Crocodile, or Alligator, or even the Komodo dragon, you couldn't expect something that large, with those kind of teeth to settle for plants. Their bodies wouldn't be able to digest it properly. So when you look at a T-rex, and suggest it could digest plants, plants it couldn't properly chew unlike a dinosaur with grinding teeth (large molars) which is used for breaking down leaf litter. Let along LARGE leaf litter that it would require to keep a creature that size going.
As much as I respect others beliefs, you have to draw the line somewhere right?
I don't know. What do you think?
So... T-rex ate veggies?
