Recently, racist paleontlogists

Why do you describe them as racist?

announced the discovery of a new dinosaur from florida, Nigersaurus.

Actually, the fossils are from Niger. The name might give it away.

They say that its wide, downturned head was adapted to eating large amounts of grass while staying on the spot.

More like ferns and other such plants, than grass.

One problem: they also claim there was no grass where it lived.

No, they don't. What is your source for this information?

I did not say they are angels, but animals created to keep angels company.

Angels need company? Since when is God not good enough for them?

(on second thought, God isn't good enough for me, so I suppose it makes sense.)

Really? I thought that they were for Adam’s enjoyment.


Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Gen2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Part 2: Nigersaurus

Racist? Because they named it after Niger, the place where it was found?

Source?

You said nothing of the sort:

However, Christians see something entiraly different. They see one of the wondrous marvels of God's creation. It goes even deeper than that. Long fingers are very similar to spears, which angels have. Angels also have feathery wings. Based on theology, it is safe to suggest paleontologists angelic animals of company in China.
You are directly implying that Epidendrosaurus were angels.

Recently, racist paleontlogists announced the discovery of a new dinosaur from florida, Nigersaurus. They say that its wide, downturned head was adapted to eating large amounts of grass while staying on the spot. One problem: they also claim there was no grass where it lived. Thus, this animal makes no sense within an atheistic worldview. Uh-oh! However, it makes perfect sense for christians, who think it lived at the same time as grass.
How is it racist? You are aware that 'n!gg3r' is spelled with two G’s and Niger is a country in Northern Africa, there is a big difference. The idea of having a dinosaur whose name literally means the "Niger lizard” is not that absurd, if you look at the periodic table of the elements you will find roughly a dozen elements that are named after nouns like California, Einstein, and Germany.

I am not a paleontologist, nor have I studied it much. But I do see some common characteristics among these two creatures. They both have exceptionally long necks. Long necks are great for getting food that is located above ground level, but it also slows the creature down and puts more strain on the circulatory system therefore creatures are not going to have this characteristic for no reason.

I once sent an email to Project Exploration saying "what is your stance on black people?" hey never wrote back, proving they have something to hide.

In fact, I think Sereno is a KKK ringleader. No evidence, just a personal theory of mine.
the "proving they have something to hide" clause is a giveaway. genetically speaking race doesnt really exist among humans. skin coloration however is an adaptation to exposure to the sun. the melanin content of the skin acts as a sun block, allowing enough for vitamin D but not enough for damage from UV.

OK, now I'm convinced: this is a Poe, through and through. :sigh:

He likely considered your email spam and deleted it. It’s quite apparent however that not all paleontologists are racist because if they where, they likely wouldn’t have discovered a dinosaur in a country whose primary ethnicity is Hausa.

I'll try again.
What's your point on the second one? If I thought Hausa were inferior, it wouldn't stop me from going to Niger.
