Re: Bones or No Bones

[philidor11@snet.net]

The 'bones' are irrefutable proof that dinosaurs existed and 
that they were different from anything else that walked the Earth. 
 That's what compelled acceptance.
My facetiousness was intended to reinforce the point that the 
biggest, most important impact comes not from subtle distinctions 
or selective interpretations, but from simple, unarguable facts.
There's lots for paleontologists to do as long as the past continues 
to deliver the strange and wonderful.  It will.

'Those are big
honkin' bones', the use of bones is more abstruse than it's worth.<
So what should paleontologists use? Or should we all throw up 
our hands and
quit?
