Let's mix things up a bit. So This what you meant when you said that you were spent? And now I'm left to sell. The path to this heaven runs through miles of clouded hell.

Exactly. Rexy slaughtered Gennaro, while I believe Muldoon stilll didn't really have a chance of at least escaping the initial attack, he could've escaped and struggled for a long time. T. rex is deadlier than one raptor, and possibly more than a pack. One attack, and the persons done for. ;)

Nice start, willd efinetely read this story.

Good start. Keep them coming. :)

Agreed. Gennaro was killed in a matter of seconds by Rexy. Muldoon struggled nearly three times as long, but that's only because the thing got him from the side and surprised him. 

People are forgetting that, though they are intelligent and stealthy/quick, people have a chance of surviving a Raptor attack/bite. They don't have that luxury with Tyrannosaurus, and even Spinosaurus. I consider a Raptor pack to be nearly (if not as) deadly as an adult T. rex, and the Spinosaurus to be second. 

Forgot to mention, it's a military vehicle, so that ties in with the military aspect of JW that it is having.

Yes I am, for the time being at least.

See the similarity?

This is all from the guy who released the other set...

I still don't want to trust these... 

(If these are the real deal, man Will I be pissed, it wrecks the JP Atmosphere....)

Aw naw. You want me stop? I guess I will.

Good start, I'll have to keep a tag on this one ;)

I don't know if I'd fully trust this...

The guy who owns the account has a lot of random pictures... 

He does apparently have a lot of honalulu pictures though...

50/50

(Heading back to one of the old profile pics eh? Mr.Happy?)

Cool.

Sci-Fi king, the "Velociraptor" was actually Deinonychus. Utahraptor was taller than a man, and much longer there the raptors there. Grant said 9 feet long, Utahraptor is something like 24 feet.

Thanks, and that's fine Jezza. Let's keep religion off these forums in general from here on out. About the quote thing, it wasn't so much the whole quote this quote that, but more so the guy's responses. The guy tried to pass off everything he said as fact and said we were all morons for thinking paleootology is opinions. I had a few things that I could say were fact, and they sure as hell weren't regarding paleontology if you know what I mean.

Also Mr. Happy, thanks for the moderating, you're good at it. ;)

Phantom Raptor, I really don't want any enemoes on this site. But I just don't see your form of Christianity, is Christianity. It completely goes against the Bible.You have completely looked over Jesus' work. I am a REAL Christian, one who doesn't pick and choose verses to believe. I won't go out stone everyone to death because I'm not a Muslim. (911, car bombs, etc.). But don't around talking about Scripture when you have no idea what you're saying. I don't like it when people like you twist God's Words to what they want it to be.

I really am confused, your idea of Christianity is weird, never heard of one like it.

Sorry Mr. Happy, I had to get that out of my system. I won't let this get out of hand.

I agree, the threat was a bit childish on my part, sorry. It was stupid. I had a bad day when I posted that 

What is with all the grammar corrections? I am from the south, I say double negatives sometimes, get over it.

I don't see how my post about olfactory glands was spino vs rex related, I just simply used rex as a comparitive. I didn't say that spino would beat rex in a smelling competion or anything like that. Tyrannosaurus Rex is one of my favorite dinos, right under spinosaurus and acrocanthosaurus. There is no doubt in my mind that T-rex was king of North America, with Acro in second place.

I do agree, there are forgeries out there of ancient dino statues, art, etc. But there are some out there that I do think are real.

I'm making a thread on how a few (still doing research on it) dinosaurs could still be alive, or were not long ago. Think about medieval dragons, they are described a lot like dinosaurs. Just some of my opions. (are you happy I didn't use theory in there?)

When it's done I'll message you about it. I welcome you to check it out when it's done. 

P.S.

There was another member to this forum ( not saying who) who quoted other people and made them look like idiots a lot like you did to me, nobody liked him so he went back to the Godzilla forums (I think Mr. Happy and some other people know who I'm talking about). Don't act like him, just don't.

I don't want a feud between us. You're a new member and I don't want to chase any new people off like FACT DUDE and S-Rex did.

Seems very interesting.

Good first chapter. Looking forward to the rest.

I don't know, that Soino was pretty stealthy in JP3.

Looks like a Mercedes 6x6.

Nice start.

Looks cool maybe a tour vehicle or staff jeep.

Just so you know not all the concept art is new but two of the four are.

Carnotaurus if they use their camo they could kill anything.

"Velociraptor" (it's actualy a Utahraptor). It's smallish, but stealthy. While Rex and Spino are large, bulky behemoths, raptors have stealth and advanced intellignece.

Velociraptor. While T. rex and Spino where two immensely powerful predators, they where, come in and kill one or two. Velociraptor. They committed Homicide. Maybe even genocide. They are as smart as the troodon, and bigger as well. (plus, Troodon was never officialy in JP)

I personally think that they were two seperate species.

This is great. I hope that you continue it just like everybody else here.

Looking forward to that. I've already seen those videos quite a while ago, but rewatching is probably a good idea.

I agree with them being 2 separate species. There was biodiversity in the Cretaceous as well. -_-

Alright, just trying to keep things under control.

Ok.

I said my piece so I’m done here anyway (as indicated).

Oh; and my reference to his mention of Spinosaurus’ olfaction abilities could probably have been deleted.

I was trying to say that there were other people in the comments here comparing T-rex and Spino (though briefly), and pointing out that what I actually said was that I did not want to turn it into a Rex Vs Spino debate (Still don’t)…

I'm leaning towards the Carnotaurus here. It might not be as powerful or as smart as the Raptors and the T.rex, but being able to camouflage itself makes it the most dangerous imo.

Let's NOT get religion into this. Just cool it, both of you.

Jezza, there's no need to get help from Chris just because the guy disagrees with you. He hasn't broken any forum rules.

Phantom, once again, keep religion out of this. Regarding the Rex vs Spino thing, it has nothing to do with what he said about the smell. It was when he said that Spino's arms were strong enough to slash through a piece of metal, and as an afterthought, he put, "Not to mention a T-Rex." 

@ Jezza

“Sorry for the missuse of the word "theory", just the first thing that popped in my head and sounded good. Should've used another word.”

Yes, you should have.

It is a common thing that lay-people do. They say theory when they mean hypothesis. At best you had some armchair speculations on the nature of Spinosaurus, and due to the scant remains of this genus, that’s really all you can have.

If you had a theory, it would be an accepted FACT, (like the theory of gravity, or the germ theory of disease or the theory of evolution). Theories in science are the absolute best explanation of a collection of facts or natural phenomena. All scientific knowledge and theories are based on observation and consistent logic. A theory is the most logical explanation for ALL observations. A good, scientific theory also proposes a set of new observations that could test a theory's power to explain. This ability to be tested, and the potential for the theory to be invalidated by the experiment, is the essence of falsifiability (a virtue not a weakness in a scientific theory). Evolution, for example, is falsifiable (if for example you find a rabbit fossil from the Precambrian or a wildebeest fossil from the Cretaceous you would have a case, but people have been trying to falsify the theory for over 150 years and have consistently failed). ‘Intelligent design’ is not a theory because it is not falsifiable, this is because it makes no predictions that can actually be tested.

That’s why when people say things like evolution is ‘JUST a theory’, they only make themselves look ignorant.

“As for the timeline, I missread Carnosaur's post. I took it as, he was saying that they didn't live in the same place. Since I know almost nothing about ouranosaurs, and for some reason thought they lived together, I thought that was what I was wrong about.”

You were wrong about that. They did live in the same general place (Northern Africa) just not at the same time.

“No, it was not a spino vs rex thread at all, just a disscussion on my thoughts on spino. Though I did put one thing rex vs spino in there, but edited it out.”

You didn’t edit it out completely because you still compare Spinosaurus to Tyrannosaurus in terms of olfactory ability, and anyway there are several mentions of Tyrannosaurus in the comments.

But ignoring all that, where exactly did I imply that it WAS a ‘Spino Vs Rex’ thread? I simply stated that I agreed with ‘most’ of the comments you made, but did not feel like commenting on the lack of evidence for some of your speculations – because I DIDN’T want to turn it into a Spinosaurus Vs Tyrannosaurus debate.

“And sorry, I don't believe in evolution, to much stuff going against it.”

You should be sorry; ignorance is something to be ashamed of especially when there is so much information on this topic out there.

By the way, no one ‘believes’ in the theory of evolution, just as no one ‘believes’ in the germ theory of disease. It is demonstrable that germs cause disease, just as it is demonstrable that life on this planet has evolved/changed over time. It’s not a matter of belief. You either UNDERSTAND a theory or you don’t (and clearly, you don’t).

And there is nothing ‘going against it’ otherwise it would not be a theory! People have been trying to find something that ‘goes against’ the theory of evolution for over 150 years, and they have all failed miserably. And by that I mean actual scientists, not creationists (who present nothing but forgeries and demonstrably flawed arguments). If an actual scientist found a flaw in the theory of evolution, he/she would be awarded a Nobel Prize because people have been sincerely trying and no one has managed to do that in over 150 years. But then they would have to come up with an even better explanation for the undeniable evidence that life on this planet has changed over time.

“I know, you may say something about God being fake, but there is nothing that can't prove His existance.”

You don’t know a thing about me. I’m actually a Christian if you must know, and I grew up attending church regularly. What I am NOT, is a fundamentalist creationist biblical literalist. I do not accept creationism because it is not consistent with the world we live in, not because it disagrees with evolution. I am NOT an atheist, but I have the common sense not to take every aspect of scripture literally.

It’s funny how selectively literate creationists are when it comes to reading the Bible. You happily take Genesis I as literally true, but conveniently ignore ALL other chapters;

The Bible tells parents in Deuteronomy 21:18-21 to stone their disobedient children to death. I understand that this is the Old Testament, but then why do we follow the Ten Commandments (also Old Testament)?

Exodus 21:7 says it’s OK to sell your daughter into slavery. Exodus 22:17 NAB says “You should not let a sorceress live.” There goes Copperfield…

Exodus 22:19 NAB says “whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed.” So why aren’t you out there killing followers of all other religions?

Exodus 31:12-15 NLT says “Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.” So why aren’t you out there killing people who work on the weekend?

Why do you eat shrimp? Leviticus 11:10 reads, "But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you." And shellfish is right in that wheelhouse.

Leviticus 11 bans a TON of animals from being eaten (it's THE basis for Kosher law); beyond shellfish and pig, it also says you can't eat camel, rock badger, rabbit, eagle, vulture, buzzard, falcon, raven, crow, ostrich, owl, seagull, hawk, pelican, stork, heron, bat, winged insects that walk on four legs unless they have joints to jump with like grasshoppers (?), bear, mole, mouse, lizard, gecko, crocodile, chameleon and snail.

People eat some of the things on that list every day. Sorry if that totally ruins your plans for some steamed escargot this weekend.

Leviticus 19:19 reads, "You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together." Check the tag on your shirt right now. Chances are that it is polyester or some other blend of fabric. Didn't realize you were mid-sin at this exact second, did you?

You don’t seem to be so anal about following those laws to the letter…

But ignore all that, the Earth was made in 6 LITERAL days (because if creationists are good at one thing; it’s taking the entire Bible literally and following it to the T – right?)

Food for thought...

Also; “there is nothing that can't prove His existance.”

What is with that double negative?! Are you saying that EVERYTHING proves his existence or that you will accept no evidence that does'nt? I’ve argued with creationists long enough to know that what you meant to say was; “you cannot disprove his existence.”

That is a logical fallacy. The onus is not on me to disprove a claim (God exists) that YOU made. You are the one making an extrodinary claim, and thus the burden of proof is on YOU to prove that this is true, not me to disprove it (and being a Christian I don't see why I would want to).

I’ll give you an example;

I tell you that I have a magical fire breathing dragon in my room. You say “that’s not true, I can look in your room and see that it is not there.” So I tell you that it is invisible. So you say you can’t feel the heat form its breath. And I tell you that the dragon breathes a heatless fire and that it cannot be seen, heard, or sensed in any way, nor does it leave footprints. You don’t believe me.So I say; “there is nothing that can't prove my dragons’ existence.” And I challenge YOU to disprove it.

Do you see the HUGE problem in that? YOU are the one making a fantastic claim, and so the onus is on YOU to back-up YOUR claim, not on the person you are trying to convince…

“I believe that all creatures lived together at one time.”

Wrong. Demonstrably wrong…

“There is evidence that dinosaurs lived with humans. There are drawings, statues, art, and ancient documents that describe animals just like dinosaurs.”

Spare me.

I’ve investigated every single creationist claim of human-dinosaur coexistence and they are all NONSENSE.

90% of them are forgeries like the Inca stones (made by a farmer who admitted to making thousands and selling them to tourists. He based his designs on an old comic book, which is why they are all posed like 50’s style dinosaurs dragging their tails instead of the more accurate modern view we would expect if who ever carved those images saw an actual dinosaur) or the poorly carved paluxy tracks (when a foot presses down in mud it compresses the layers beneath it. These human footprints that cross-cut dinosaur tracks have been X-rayed and CT-scanned and they all show NO compression – in other words; they were carved!). The other 10% are statues of fantastical mythological creatures or scratchings on a cave wall where you have to squint really hard and actively try to convince yourself that these even look remotely like a dinosaur like creationists claim…

I’m not going to sit here and disprove every single nonsense claim you make, so here is a great video that completely disproves every “man lived with dinosaurs” claim (including the examples I gave) in a very clear way; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5kckGxwJr4

You can also watch this video series for more; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnJX68ELbAY&list=PL126AFB53A6F002CC

“Also, as for the "ass" thing, you basically called me one. Don't do that again, or I'll have a talk with Chris.”

I don’t recall calling you an ass and I don’t take kindly to threats. You don’t scare me because I did nothing wrong.

You are typical of creationists on the internet, super touchy with the slightest of ‘bad’ language and then attempt to censor your dissenters when you can’t defeat them with logic.

I’m not interested in a creationism/evolution debate with you (there’s really nothing to debate. Creationism is false), so leave it at this.

And for the record; I never called you an ass. What I said in reply to ‘Mr. Happy’ was; “Pointing out someone’s hypocrisy does not make one an ass (quite the opposite actually)”. Ass was his word, not mine and it was originally directed at ME.

I actually applied the word ‘retarded’ (as in; lagging/backward) to your timeline of earth history… which is exactly what it is when you cram 3billion years of evolution into a timeframe of 6 days.

 I'm not interested in an argument, so I'll leave it at this.

I say the Velociraptors, followed by Rex. If the JP3 Spino was any form of realistic, it wouldn't have survived that movie.

I got rex at first (which isn't bad at all), gonna try and get spino.

spino

wow.. never thought of it like that. :/
