Dinosaurs in the news again
Dinosaurs are in the news again. Firstly, in a story with references to Jurassic Part (pedants would call it Cretaceous Park because most of the dinosaurs depicted came from that era not the Jurassic, but never mind) about scientists finding evidence of soft tissue in dinosaur fossils found in Montana and Wyoming. This means that some of their DNA can be sequenced. A second story is about an expat Aussie, Ken Ham , President of Answers in Genesis, has raised money for a Creationist theme park in Kentucky (Part of the US bible belt) to educate Americans about how dinosaurs lived peacefully side-by-side with humans until the Fall turned them into predatory carnivores, how the Grand Canyon was dug in a flash flood after The Flood, and so on. The BBC, like many Brit and Aussie papers, has a section set aside for stories like this - under the "only in America" could this happen.
