  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Did you know dinosaurs can never be cloned?

Dna lives only maximum 5-6 million years, but the dinosaurs are 65 million years old now. When the big meteorite hit mexico and wiped out most of life, only birds surived. It`s difficult to know what is dinosaurs and what is birds if you study the genes of birds today. It`s also a myth from jurassic park that amber preserves dna

All of it: evolution has nothing to do with the fact that DNA can't be preserved in amber nor that it can be used to clone dinosaurs. Evolution has nothing to do with it.

The OP is likely correct. Birds cannot be cloned and birds are a form of dinosaur. The differences in mamallian and bird reproduction are the obstacle. Research to restore extinct, or near extinct species focus on manipulation of primordial germ cells, creating birds that can produce the gametes of another species, allowing genetic material to be propagated through breeding rather than through true cloning.
