Explain this ('http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/02/0212_020212_dinovomit.html')

"We believe that this is the first time the existence of fossil vomit on a grand scale has been proven beyond reasonable doubt," said geologist Professor Doyle. "The Peterborough belemnite shells, viewed under a powerful scanning electron microscope, have revealed 'acid etching' marks caused by digestive fluids from the gut of a marine reptile, proving that the belemnites had been eaten by a predator. The fact that most of these belemnites were juveniles reinforces our view that they did not die of old age."

So, explanations please?

Oh, and I found the story is old, but funny. I've heard of coprolites (fossilized shit), and helicoprolites (coiled, fossil shit), but never fossilized vomit.

Hehe...it's the clincher!

God put them there.

Here's one we haven't had for a while - aren't Macs like way better than PCs?

They were planted there by Scientists and T3H 3B1L L1BRuLZ....duh...:rolleyes::D

what do you think god ate while he was creating everything? you don't think he went without a meal for six days do you? obviously something in these baby thingamajigs disagree with him and he had to barf them up. i want to see this god-vomit scraped up and installed in the vatican where it can be venerated and worshiped. this must be the first instance of god's own fluid ever found.

i'd love it if someone found fossilized jizz, god had to let off steam at the end of a hard day creating after all and he was all by himself and hadn't even invented alcohol yet, what else was he supposed to do?

If only it had the image of the Virgin Mary in it...:D

obviously some animals got seasick on the Ark and puked over the side.

Yep. ANd it clung together in one big vomity lump and sank to the bottom. Seems like a perfectly reasonable explanation. :)

Yeah you're singlehandedly going to bring down the entire Creationist movement with the weight of this knockout punch. Good job.

LOL! a prescient apparition! that would be awesome.

creationism suffered it's knockout punch when rationalism was invented. unfortunately it's just so stupid anyway that it's hard to notice any difference now it's a vegetable.

anyway, it's fun to mock.

here's the problem with "bringing down" the creationist movement. Everyone who can actually accept rationality has already rejected it. Those that support it do so with such dogmatic persistance in defiance of all logic and common sense that no proof will ever be good enough.

Thus we are at a stalemate, however as far as mainstream is concerned, the creationist movement did a good job of bringing itself down. All that's left is to mock it.

I'm always amused by the fact that the Creationist movement evolved into Intelligent Design. The irony there is phenomenal.

All that's left is to mock it.

And that's the purpose of this thread... or didn't you get it?

Reading your post and the article you linked to, I couldn't seem to see how this poses such a threat for creation theory. What is actually your point? That fossil vomit is proven? How would that challenge the creation idea?

Actually Creationism was killed long ago by reality. This discovery is just going to kick the twitching corpse and laugh.

Really? I could have sworn Disney founded them.

*hands over stupid glasses* See with special intolerance protection. And they look just like the ones from the Matrix. Yours for the small price of just your common sense!

Really? I could have sworn Disney founded them.

And who founded Disney? Hmm?

Do you think it's a coincidence that if you take 'Darwin' and replace the A, R, W, I, and N with I, S, N, E, Y you get Disney?

Fossilized vomit is much more rare... I mean, when fossilizing my excretions for posterity, shit is much closer to the mark than vomit.
