View Full Version : Extinction Level Event
braveheart 10-13-00, 06:22 PM I am writing a book to help small business owners transition into our new Internet-dominated economy. I want to use as an analogy an ELE, or extinction level event; the Internet as a potential ELE for small businesses. That is, the Internet dramatically changes the current landscape and requires small businesses to learn new skills to adapt or die. I am looking for information about what the expected consequences of an asteroid impact are; what life would be like, temperature changes, etc., and how humankind would have to learn to survive. Also, any information on the consequences of the asteroid that wiped out 70% of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago is helpful too. Thank you.
Fukushi 02-18-06, 05:09 PM Care to make that an (free) e-book then? That sounds appropriate.

The theory of an asteroid 65 million years ago wiping out the dinosaurs is false, generated by a need to prove evolution by a scientific comunity with an atheist agenda.
The dinosaurs were mostly destroyed by an event about 5000 years ago.
There was a massive nuclear explosion the shook the world from it's perfect alined axis with the sun (the way it were created to make earth a paradise)
The water vapor in the air suddenly cooled, combined with a 23 1\3 degreee tilt in the earths axis, destroyed all life on earth with a global flood.
There is plenty of eveidence to support this, but science has systematicly destroyed or covered up any that oppposes it's evolution theory.
A nateral history museum that supports the truth in Texas has dinosaur bones that aren't even fosilized, with intact red blood cells still in the marrow of the bone. This explains mammoths with tropical leaves in their mouth, quick frozen in ice. A sudden axis change.
Historic acounts reveal the world before the flood was heavily tecnological, but evrything was destroyed, or burried beneath silt in the ocean.

How come stone age technology can be found from up to 2.5 million years ago?

Its a theory, the dinosaurs went through a mass extinction, whatever the cause.

Yes while the Egyptians and other ancient civilizations were happily building their empire they had many a plague of T-rex's. :rolleyes:

What dating method is used to come to that conclusion? And how do you know that it is legitimate?

So civilization as we know it went through a gigantic "Dark Age"? How technological are you talking here. Computers? Flying machines? Robots? What did they use for energy?
T-rex's
You know, I actually had heard that T-rex's weren't carnivorous dinosaurs, contrary to popular belief. I think that the evidence for this was something about the teeth sockets being too shallow for a meat-eating dinosaur to have. The teeth would have been pulled from their sockets the instant the Tyrannosaurus tried to bite a moving object. Any truth to this?

I'd imagine a acceptable dating methods have been used that have been cross referenced by a whole scala of dating methods in the literature. We would have to look at specific papers to see which method exactly is used. Would you like to begin a scientific argument? Remember that there are rules to that. I am not going to start a debate with a believer.
TheVisitor 02-19-06, 02:30 PM Computers? Flying machines? Robots? What did they use for energy...?
--------------------
They had thousand year lifespans, technology that we can't duplicate today, (the great pyramid).
Books from ancient India list over 100 different types of flying machines....
The same books list bombs capable of destroying both side of a conflict,
entire armies,with I quote "the destructive power of the sun"
Nuclear energy.
The bible even supports this because it says;
"As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the coming of the son of man"
Man was created perfect, Adam would need an IQ of 2000 to name all the animals alone.....If you make a copy of a copy of a copy, each time the original pattern degrades.
This has been happening to man, not the other way around as the atheist agenda of science claims.
We now have a lifespan of 70-80 years...thats less than 1\10th of the original.
Is it any coincidence that they say we only use 1\10th of our brain...?
Think about that.
Lemming3k 02-19-06, 03:15 PM What dating method is used to come to that conclusion? And how do you know that it is legitimate?
As far as i know, depending on the artifact, carbon dating can be used, or potassium-argon dating, along with dendrochronology to confirm the date, its quite reliable, especially when things can be cross referenced.

They were certainly carnivorous, the shape of the teeth shows this, herbivorous dinosaurs have flatter teeth, or in some cases swallowed food relatively whole and used to swallow stones with their food so that in the stomach it would help digest and break down food. T-rex im sure would have eaten meat, though as far as the glorified hollywood vision of it chasing and hunting down prey as the king of the dinosaurs goes, i think there were bigger, more ferocious predators around, and its possible T-rex was merely a scavanger(this could explain if it has shallow roots on the teeth in sockets, i'll have to look up these rumours, i havnt heard them personally). It certainly wouldnt prey on most fully grown and healthy dinosaurs even if it was a hunter, since the risk of injury would have been too great.
Clockwood 02-19-06, 04:34 PM T-rex didn't have to run fast because everything big enough for it to bother with was even slower. In any case:

Lemming3k 02-19-06, 05:00 PM T-rex didn't have to run fast because everything big enough for it to bother with was even slower.
It didnt have to, but last time i checked estimates suggested it could have reached up to 40MPH, which for its size isnt too bad, though thats only over short distances, and theres little to suggest it regularly used or needed that speed, except to outrun a charging triceratops. ;)
Clockwood 02-19-06, 09:14 PM I ask that this thread be moved out of the world events subforum.
While this thread has merit, this is plainly the wrong place for it.
spuriousmonkey 02-19-06, 09:19 PM They had thousand year lifespans, technology that we can't duplicate today, (the great pyramid). We could. Just bring on the money.
Books from ancient India list over 100 different types of flying machines....
Do any of them fly?
The same books list bombs capable of destroying both side of a conflict,
entire armies,with I quote "the destructive power of the sun"
Nuclear energy.
In your head?
The bible even supports this because it says;
"As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the coming of the son of man"
This is a reference to a bomb?
Man was created perfect, Adam would need an IQ of 2000 to name all the animals alone.....If you make a copy of a copy of a copy, each time the original pattern degrades.
How could he name animals without a name?
This has been happening to man, not the other way around as the atheist agenda of science claims.
We now have a lifespan of 70-80 years...thats less than 1\10th of the original.
How do you know the original lifespan of man?
Is it any coincidence that they say we only use 1\10th of our brain...?
That wouldn't be a coincidence because we use 100% of our brain. the 10% is a myth.
Think about that.
I gave it 2 seconds and that was more than it was worth.
Alejandro 02-20-06, 12:04 AM The theory of an asteroid 65 million years ago wiping out the dinosaurs is false
i have come to question this myself. also evolution seems not entirely possible....maybe amma gettin old. :(
Fukushi 02-21-06, 04:49 AM And the universe could also just begun to exist five minutes ago,...
Nobody can give a rational explanation for this, people can't deny it, nor can they say it's correct.
The asteriod theory could be still true,...TOGETHER with other factors like vulcano dust that clouded the earth and brought about a rampant greenhouse effect. That's why the Dinosours, and practicaly every other living creature with it,...where in fact:
WIPED OUT

Sorry, what did the Internet change, exactly? I used to plug a device into a telephone line (a telephone) and request a brochure for a small company. It arrived. I then looked at the brochure, and selected products I wanted, and called them using the device attached to my phone line. I told them what I wanted, and paid using my credit card.
Only difference is that the device is a bit more complicated, and the conversation uses tcp/ip and html instead of English, and is a tad quicker.
I don't see that the Internet changed anything? But then I was using other planet wide computer networks when the Internet became public domain, so it was just another. I think the only story wrt the Internet is it's popularity. Woo.
So, what do you think has changed? Which businesses are you targetting? Do you know of any small businesses that have gone out of business directly due to Internet competition?
Ophiolite 02-21-06, 07:04 AM It is precisely the small businesses that have the greatest chances of survival and growth because they are the ones with the greater flexibility - just like the burrowing mammals.
