Back to the Drawing Board
The February 4th issue of "THE WEEK" has a piece regarding a fossil find by paleontologists digging in China:
"Paleontologists in China have found the perfectly preserved remains of a dinosaur in the belly of a 130 million-year-old doglike mammal known as Repenomamus robustus...
...The researchers were startled by their find, because until now, it was assumed that mammals that lived in the age of the dinosaurs were small, ratlike creatures that subsisted on bugs...
"...This changes the picture quite a bit," said researcher Jin Meng..."Nobody thought that a mammal could eat a dinosaur.""
I guess this will push the age of the earth back some more to account for the higher evolution of mammals at an earlier time period. No doubt this find will be assimilated into the silly-putty-like Darwinian evolutionary model without any real fanfare.
