CTV.ca | Dig finds largest known carnivorous dinosaur — You’d think that after all these years of bone hunting nothing new would be discovered.

A team of leading paleontologists announced on Monday the discovery of what may be one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs known to have stalked the earth, after finding hundreds of bones in sandstone 100 million years old.

The remains of the creature, Mapusaurus roseae, were unearthed in a quarry in Patagonia, Argentina. Its intimidating measurements suggest full-grown adults weighed an estimated eight tons and exceeded a length of 12.5 metres (41 feet) — longer than any yet found from their “cousin” the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Its skull alone measured two metres, or over six feet.

    Queue all the religious zealots that don’t believe dinosaurs existed and that our planet is only 6,000 years old. Hehe

    I am in agreement though; I wouldn’t have thought that we would uncover anything this dramatic after so many years of digging around for things.

    I belelive we still have a crap-load of bones to find. Heck paleotologest (Yep murdered the spelling) still arn’t sure half the bones they fine belong to the creatures they think it goes too. Plus we are finding new speces (Yep another murnderd word) that werent belieived to exist. Look at the Gorrila, people thought that was a myth untill the mid 20th centure.

    Life was so divers back then that is almost certain (99.99% sure, I always leave room for falure with me) that we won’t ever know every thing about the creatures that lived before us.

    Seth, think of this possibility however crazy it might sound.

    What if the world *was* created 10,000 years 2,000 years ago but because a new breed of people surfaced on Earth to doubt that, God in His ultimate Goodness supplied the “evidence” to support their theories so that they would find the Truth in their own minds. God respects every belief. He will lead you to Truth no matter what you believe. So, when doubters claimed Science as Truth, God supplied the bones and moved back his “Creation” to 14.7 billion years in the “Big Bang”. If scientist were to go back to the year 1 a.d. with lab equipment and carbon test anything like rocks, bones, etc. they would be astonished to find that nothing dates past 8,000 b.c.! Don’t laugh. We cannot possibly be smarter than the Almighty. Step out of illusion to see reality. In the Gospel of Judas, Jesus laughs! Judas understands Truth and indicates it to Jesus by pointing to the sky to tell Him that He comes from Barbelo– a place in another dimension that creates this one. It is not possible to see beyond one’s own bubble. NOT possible. That is why Jesus was sent to us. But only Judas could understand. I tell you this, and this is the Truth, the world you inhabit is make-believe. You are entitled to believe what you want because whatever you believe will lead to the Truth. The ones above us WILL PLANT whatever you need for whatever you believe and CHANGE “reality” to fit your Mind.

    Consider this, Seth. The way, the truth and the light.

    We have found less than a dozen T-Rex fossils in the last century. Only in the last decade have we found two nearly complete T-Rex skeletons. All the rest were only partial. We have only found a small fraction of all the possible fossils. Who knows how many species we will never know of because the fossils eroded away without being discovered.

    Am I the only one that finds that photo hilarious? With the A-Team posing in front of Gozilla 2000? LMAO.

    #5 ….Thomas…lol…no…I was laughing as well….especially after the first few words of the opening sentance……*A team of leading paleontologists*.
