You ask questions that keep telling us that you should not be debating about evolution. Remember the concept of scientific evidence. There is only scientific evidence for evolution. There is more than enough to accept it as factual. In fact there is so much that to deny evolution is irrational if one understands the basics of science at all. We see good sized jumps in the differences of various lines of descent. Some, bats for example, due to their fragile nature or where they die we have almost no records. Terrestrial fossils in general from very very rarely. Show me where there is even one terrestrial sedimentary area of deposition today. The logical conclusion of this is that most terrestrial species do not get fossilize.
Yes granted, the red text above is granted. But that doesn’t mean I can´t ask questions…….. I now an understand that accepting evolution in a dogmatic way (no questions) is an imperative in your atheist cult. … but of us “normal people” evolution is just like any other theory, and there is nothing wrong nor inappropriate in asking questions.
You can only get estimates. There is no way to get the "correct number".
ok, what would be the estimate for mammalian families?
Really? I am assuming that you mean non-avian dinosaurs. We know the extinction event that kills almost all dinosaurs. We know that there are no non-avian dinosaurs to be found after the asteroid strike. That was about 66 million years ago. Large dinosaurs, unlike teeny tiny bats, are large enough so that there bones have a much better than average chance of being preserved. In fact the large ones are more likely to be preserved than almost any mammal bones. Just in case you did not know, 66 million years is a long time. Man did not evolve until very very recently.
I am just following the logoc.
If 98% of species don’t get fossilized (as some else claimed) why would it be unlikely for some non-avian dinosaurs to have coexisted with humans, even if no fossils remains are left?
Large dinosaurs, unlike teeny tiny bats,
some dinosaurs where tiny
By the way, there is no rule saying that the dinosaurs had to die out. But we can be pretty sure of it.
And why are you so “pretty sure”? where is your evidence?
