Are you just being argumentative for its own sake?
If so, here's a good place to stop.

In the event, if someone made a wheel of some sort
200,000 years ago there'd be no trace of it to be found now.

Thylacoleo is an amazing genus and a worthwhile illustration of evolution at work.
  • While carnivorous it may have evolved from a herbivore.
  • It is considered the most specialized carnivore that existed; its predatory habits are not found in current mammalian carnivores such as lions and tigers.
From a prehistorical perspective;
  • Migrating humans became a competitor for Thylacoleo's prey from about 60,000 years ago which may have hastened or caused Thylcoleo's extinction.
  • Humans may have been added to Thylacoleo's menu of prey.

I'm not surprised that an ambush predator who hunted kangaroos might be a real problem for humans.

Yes, I'm sure that was a joke, but the reality is, if you look at these 'lists of scientists that doubt Darwin' and the like, you are quite likely to find people of dubious connection to actual science nevertheless being lauded for their dismissal of Darwin.

What's the difference between an amino acid that developed within life and without?
I'm guessing that about half of creationists fancy themselves more knowledgeable about science than they really are.
Ans so do most of the other half.

Yes, and that is laughably false.

Any amino acid used by cells originate from cells of either plants or animals. You must have life to get life in other words.
Completely false. Your "folk science" is irrelevant to real life.

Fact is its impossible for an educated person to
"dismiss" ToE without being intellectually dishonest.

See Dr. K Wise, PhD, paleontology-

'...If all the evidence in the universe turned against yec, I'd still
be yec as that is what the Bible seems to..."

If you were there how would you try to get rid of them.
I'd run for the hills.
I have recurring nightmares about being chased by crocodiles which are tiny by comparison.

Megalania were carnivorous, humans would be snack food given their relative sizes.

He'd go for you. I am too tiny to bother with.

There would be no choice but to try to kill them off.

How?

You seem to have an obsession about killing; I hope this is not a Napoleon complex due to your height.
I believe in peaceful coexistence; I have to live with the second most poisonous snake on the planet which nests underneath the slab foundation and comes out of hibernation by Spring and sunbathes on the veranda.
Australians have died trying to kill these snakes apparently unaware these generally placid creatures become ultra-aggressive when threatened and can strike with amazing speed.

Worse than that.
My subdiminutive stature x descendancy from the
Great Kahm (Genghis)
produced in me The most Savage and Unnatural of microHanettes.

Ask around; they'll tell you.

On other matters, I'm happy you don't kill snakes.
Makes me sad when people do.

In your own words, what does a scientific theory entail?
