Then why is there only 100% dinosaurs and no 25% or 50% or 75% or even 99% dinosaurs?

Alright uhohspagh..., everytime someone goes to a museum to look at donosour bone. They see dinosaurs, not one part dinosaur and one part hippo.

Plenty of evidence AGAINST EVOLUTION:.
First, the 'Cambrian explosion'; the millions of fossil types in Cambrian rock (oldest fossil bearing rocks) appear suddenly and fully formed and without any previous forms...IOW, there are no transitional forms.

Most well educated evolutionists when forced to ...will admit it, but very unwillingly, and even then they always want to seem to make new excuses for it. Usually they just don't say anything about it and hope noone finds out.

The thing to remember is that evolution is still just a theory - a hypothesis, a speculation, an unproven assumption.

"From the beginning of the Creation God made them male and female..."-- Jesus (Mk. 10:6)

Scripture says God SPOKE all things into existence with His Word:

" By the Word of the Lord were the heavens created, and all the host by the breath of His mouth. For HE SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST". (psalm 33:9)

Huh? How can you have less than 100% of a group of species?

-Edit
When the police find a decomposed body in the woods, are all the bones present at the scene?

As it turns out, not always. Complete skeletons are a rare find, even after only a few weeks, so it's not unreasonable to expect that after hundreds of millions of years some of the bones will go missing, because they've been picked up by scavangers, or failed to fossilize, etc. To make a complete display, some of the bones sometimes have to be replaced.

I hope that's what you mean. What does this have to do with evolution?

-Edit (Again)
Hippos and Dinosaurs aren't interchangable. They are separated by different genetic lineages, and evolved independently of each other. I challenge you to find one credible archeologist or museum curator (By that I mean NOT from a creationist museum) that will tell you the dinosaurs in the museum are less than 100% dinosaurs (other than the above text about incomplete skeletons). Get out of the internet Bible belt and walk into a real museum where you can see a dinosaur fossil for yourself.

I believe what you are asking is why are transitional dinosaur fossils not found? Many have been found; Archeopteryx is a most famous one that shows transition from dinosaur into bird; several have been found. Dinosaurs were on earth millions of years. The oldest species show that dinosaurs started out small while the last of the dinosaur species were very large. New species of dinosaurs are being found quite often and all this taken together shows transitional change between species.

lol. how would you classify a 25% dinosaur? We simply have guidelines for classifying animals like reptiles, birds, mammals, etc. There are animals that fit halfway between some of those categories and we have many such prehistoric bones to prove it (and there are some in existence today - Duckbill Platypus mammal? lays it's own eggs and has a bill.) After all, an amphibian is a cross between a reptile and a fish.

---------------------------------------------

There are far far FAR more fossils and dinosaur bones than what you see in the main museums. Those are just for tourists. You have to do REAL research. It's a little harder.

-----------------------------------------------

To be honest, you should understand the thing you've already decided couldn't possibly be true before go arguing about it to people who know what they are talking about.

--------------------------------------------------

Goodness! I hope that silly website isn't your sole source for all your knowledge of evolution. I could suggest a few journals about it if you would like to actually understand it. IM me.

Mammals did not evolve fron dinosaurs, so the absence of a half-hippo/half-dinosaur supports evolution. There are numerous early dinosaurs that retained anatomic features of the reptiles from which they evolved, notably the early saurischia (literally "lizard hipped") which had pelvic structures that resemble lizards, not later dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx is the classic dinosaur transion to birds. Your disproof is rejected by the evidence.

Like it or not Evolution like many have said before is a theory. It is not a absolute at all. Any biologist will tell you there is much proof of micro evolution(change and adaptation amongst species) but there is no evidence at all that has ever shown macro evolution a jump in species(dog to cat or goat to horse). Except for fossils which show animals which scientist claim are evidence of such jumps but could any animal that simply just existed and went into extinction where is the proof? Scientist have only ever had luck manipulating life between species never outside of those boundaries. The dinosaur is just another example that their is no evidence so far of a transition between one species turning to another.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but because you can't have a 1/4 of a dinosaur running around.

I'm sorry but I don't follow. Do you mean half human and half dinosaur? There are still ancestors of dinosaurs - like the Komodo dragon, birds. Even cavemen - 'humans' used to be more like apes.

But all species have to evolve and adapt in order to survive. God created all things in love, and I'm positive they'll ALL have a place in Heaven.

Even so, if evolution were 'true' it doesn't mean that God doesn't exist. Everything is part of a plan and/or happens for a reason. Remember that.

Because if you saw a 50% dinosaur, you'd just call it a 100% dinosaur.

could you make that a little clearer?
edit:
thank you for doing so,
i think that its because dinosaurs are classifyed as like from 800millionyears ago to like 200million years ago, that the dinosaurs are evolving, but since it evolved within the time period, its still called a dinosaur.


i guess what im trying to say is..
the different periods, cretasious... the jurassic... etc..
everything that lived during all 5? periods are classifyed as dinosaurs.

i hoped this helped.
