Dinosaurs could have become extinct 65 million years ago or 165 million years ago. The strict definition of science is 'knowledge' and nobody really knows what happened at the beginning of time - it's all supposition. You need to look into it more rather than just accept the 'official' explanation.

But I agree that deducing all that evidence about Nebraska Man from a single tooth is bizarre - Piltdown Man was a hoax dreamed up by some students and the truth didn't emerge for several decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-22213785748216595412015-08-29T23:12:18.045+01:002015-08-29T23:12:18.045+01:00Haven't seen Prometheus, Phil, but I'll ta...Haven't seen Prometheus, Phil, but I'll take your word for it. I used to fancy Supergirl when she was drawn by Jim Mooney or Curt Schaffenberger - still do in fact.<br /><br />******<br /><br />Nebraska man was shown in the journals as a new fossil discovery. Showed you what he looked like, the way he lived, the tools he used, etc. All this was deduced from the evidence of a single tooth, which was later shown to be the tooth of an extinct pig. And there is evidence to suggest that dinosaurs and humans could have lived at the same time, CJ. Human and dinosaur footprints in the same strata of rock, legends of dragons, etc. It's not impossible. Did the women look like Raquel Welch 'though? That's another matter.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-8828909734776625442015-08-29T22:52:49.819+01:002015-08-29T22:52:49.819+01:00I've never heard of Nebraska Man, Kid - was th...I've never heard of Nebraska Man, Kid - was that like Piltdown Man ? I suppose there are plenty of scientific blunders in modern movies but I don't think we'll see really ridiculous ones any more like humans and dinosaurs living at the same time or humans of a million years ago looking like Raquel Welch.
