T-rex, carnivore or hippy?

Question

Were you aware that it has been proven by the Creation Evidence Museum that T-Rex was NOT a meat eater? That's right! They proved it in TWO WAYS...

The roots of T-Rex were only 2 inches deep. Had he bit into the hide of another dinosaur he would have lost teeth

They cut a tooth in half og a unearthed T-Rex and found in deeply impureated with CHLOROPHYLL! That's right, Chlorophyll is the main substance found in PLANTS not meat!

By the way, this discovery validates the Bible once again! How so? See this passage...

Genesis 1:30, "And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."

Now.. before proclaiming you MUST eat meat because the proteins in meat will help you to gain weight, look around on planet earth for a moment. Look at all the HUGE animals like cows... horses.. hippos.. elephants... rhinos... etc. What do THEY eat? That's r

Answer 1

That is a possibility (about the T. Rex), but it needs more research.

All those computerized documentaries on dinosaurs makes it look like we know quite a bit about them. The truth is, we usually just dig up bone fragments and they don’t come with a label and a Polaroid picture telling us when and how they lived and what they looked like. Most of it is guesswork.

As Michael Lemonick has said, “Paleontology is much like politics: passions run high, and it’s easy to draw very different conclusions from the same set of facts.”

That is why they sometimes put the wrong head on the wrong dinosaur (like with the Brontosaurus). That is why they argue if the T. rex was a predator or a scavenger (or a herbivore). And why debate has raged about whether dinosaurs were warm or cold-blooded. It’s even difficult to tell whether a dinosaur is male or female from its bones.

Yes, all the dinosaurs were vegetarians at first (Genesis 1:30), before Adam’s sin. We see that people and animals only ate plants, not other animals. The carnivorous part of the present “food chain” didn’t exist. There were no animals to rip you apart in this “very good” creation—lions, bears, crocodiles, T. Rex, and Velociraptor ate squash for dinner.

But what about those sharp teeth? After Adam’s sin in Genesis 3, God changed the serpent (I think as a visual reminder to us that Satan is still out there). He changed childbirth, the ground, and brought in physical death to man. It could also be at that time He changed the animals (that had previously only eaten plants): creatures given teeth and claws designed to rend flesh, venom to paralyze, mouths to suck blood, coils to constrict, expandable jaws to swallow prey, etc.

Besides, there are many sharp toothed animals living today that are vegetarians like the giant panda, the fruit bat, and some apes and bears are totally vegetarians. They have those big carnivorous looking teeth and yet they are plant eaters. And there are some plants that require sharp teeth to eat—can you imagine trying to bite into a coconut? Some evolutionists say the panda evolved sharp teeth so it could eat bamboo.

Answer 2

The bible (written by men to maintain order in society) is open for interpretation. The stories are, well stories. The bible seems to be for the weak, for the old, for those who need reassurance and to sooth the transition from life to death without fear.
This dinosaur thing you speak of.....your point? Is it only to contort the bible to truth? If you beleive, just beleive, don't worry if its true or not. You can't have to keep reaasuring yourself that it just has to be right becasue Trex was a vegan (Which I think is crap).
I eat meat. I have trouble swallowing it sometimes due to the love for animals and the consideration of the disregard when killing them to eat. Meat digests. I KNOW this. How? Becasue I poop. Veggies digest as well. I am healthy. As far as vegetarians go....some of them do fine. Some of them don't. Some have to pay out the *** for vitamins, and that crazy frozen brown veggie patties that are supposed to taste like meat. Seems like a chore to eat when you have to read lables to see if there is anything derived from an animal in it, just so you can sleep at night. My teeth are made to eat meat. They are also made to eat veggies. Whats the big deal? Does it matter what other people eat? As long as I am not forced to eat that tofu ****, then it just doenst matter.

Answer 3

Actually, meat is for brain development more than muscle. That and hair. Whey protein is good for muscles.

many scientists believe T-Rex to have been a scavenger [it makes sense, really]. Even with the teeth issue you bring up, many predators loose teeth a lot, to regrow them swiftly.

Chlorophyll is rather easy. Many carnivores eat plants for stomach issues. Look at a cat.

Answer 4

T Rex Carnivore

Answer 5

There is no way that the animal with the largest estimated bite force and rows of replenishing teeth was a vegetarian. The T-Rex has the bite force of a crocodile. Crocodiles can kill rhinos. And 2 inches = big teeth. Think about it.

Answer 6

I'm assuming you are vegetarian then? Because I know one of those Genesis verses says something similar about man getting herb for meat.

And, I'm sorry, but just because the Creation Evidence Museum says something, does not make it so.

*In addition, I went ahead and clicked the link you provided on the last question (even though I told myself not to) and it is not reliable. They didn't even bother to run a spell check.

Answer 7

The teeth of T-Rex were obviously for meat eating. You can tell by the way they are structured. Carnivores have teeth for tearing and herbivores for grinding.

That is a picture of a t-rex tooth. It is shaped for tearing flesh not grinding. This is an elephant tooth that is shaped to chew grass: http://www.boneclones.com/CS-009.htm

It is really easy to tell a carnivore from a herbavor by the tooth shape. What idiot told you this?

Answer 9

Creation Evidence Museum found evidence for Creationism? Wow, that IS amazing! Now, if we can only get those respectible scientists to agree....

Answer 10

Are you thumping the Bible to promote vegan-ism?
Oh, double-whammy!!
