Oh and hello everyone :earth: i got linked over to the site from neatorama a while ago and have been looking through all the Image of the Day archives, which are amazing, and a great distraction from revising for my Biology exams. It is nice when something I'm studying comes up though, dinosaurs are awesome.

Anyway back to work!
Still and all, imagine a pack of those after you instead of pit bulls! :eek:

it's all just guesswork, anyway, and they keep changing their minds! --in 20 years, scientists will all decide that dinosaurs were talking worms, or something

It's not guesswork at all. It's science. You look at evidence (data) and you draw conclusions from what you see. The reason they keep "changing their mind" is that new data is found, or somebody has a different theory that fits the data better than the old theory. This is progress, and it's good.
