Why believe in extinction?

Friday, February 26th, 2010

A common objection to the idea of living pterosaurs is simply “they all became extinct millions of years ago.” But why should anyone believe that extinction idea? In Western countries, in particular the United States, universal extinctions of dinosaurs and pterosaurs is drilled into us from kindergarden onwards. No reasons for total extinction are offered, only continuous indoctrination. In fact, fossils do not prove extinctions.

We need to listen with open minds to eyewitnesses who have seen creatures that cannot easily be explained as non-pterosaurs. This will eventually free us to discover and classify modern living pterosaurs.

No Pterosaur Time Travel

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

At least one reader of my first book, Searching for Ropens, misunderstood my comment about the idea that ancient pterosaurs, sometimes, get caught in a time hole and appear briefly in our modern world. I never believed in anything like that;  it smells of superstition.

I mentioned that idea in my book to show how dogmatically some persons hold onto the idea that pterosaurs lived only many millions of years ago, even imagining time-traveling pterosaurs (to keep ancient extinctions alive.) How much more reasonable to simply believe in modern living animals!
