That's not how natural selection works, Malcolm.

Explain.

>muh atheism
"Nature" fucking selects.

Yes it is

>"Nature" directed the extinction event causing asteroid to earth

>*read NOT aliens

but that's factually wrong

evolution isn't directed, things just survive at higher rates if they're more well adapted

also a meteor destroying the planet doesn't really work with the whole speech he gave

I agree. Dinosaurs as a whole thrived for millions of years, so they clearly weren't getting naturally selected out of shit.

>implying it was a fucking meteor

It was a collection of things.
It did get selected by nature.
Quit being such a pedantic shitlord.

He was being poetic about saying it's bad to play god.

>it's a semantics fedora tipping thread

Chilean sea bass had their shot and uh, the chef uh selected them for digestion.

yes because the dinosaurs were being degenerate and sodomizong each other so god sent a meteor to destroy them

now THIS is autism

Not entirely true, Dr. Malcolm

Dinosaurs were perfectly adapted to survive and in fact had a much longer, more dominant run than the current mammal domination.

It will take millions of years for us to be around as long as they were.

Second of all, it is most likely that they were wiped out by a supernatural catastrophic event like volcanic superactivity or a giant asteroid, or a combination of these.

I feel that if this had not happened, our mammal ancestors would have never evolved and Dinosaurs may still be a dominant species.

The world would be a very different place.

Would any particular species of dinosaur have developed self-awareness, even intelligence to the point of building a civilization?

Or would the earth forever be ruled by brainless beasts with nothing on their mind other than their next meal?

We will never know.

It's chili and sea bass

what did he mean by this?

>I can't comprehend a guy talking figuratively about nature

Holy shit, literally worse than Stalin.

Dinosaurs were too damn big to survive, their food source dwindled and they could not adapt to the environment nature provided them. Meteors are included in nature whether anyone thinks so or not. Life found a way, but dinosaurs were not part of that finding a way.

if Nature up and deleted all the dinosaurs there wouldn't be birds. a number of other species survive from the mesozoic

what did you mean by this?

Dinosaurs lived amongst humans

if God doesn't exist then who programed animals to take care of themselves: such as hibernation, flying south for the winter, you know some how surviving and having natural instincts.

quite the ride if I do say so myself, yes.

You now realize that Crichton tossed Chaos Theory into the book because it was something new and cool, the same as the frog DNA and sex-changing thing (which occurs in only one species of frog, the African reed frog, and only in captivity). Also Malcolm was Crichton's anti-science mouthpiece

Sharks and Crocodiles are still around.

>Explain
Nature doesn't "select"

This is a problem with people preferring the active voice when "natural selection" isn't an active process done by one entity

Saying "nature selected them" suggests nature was sitting at home and decided one day, "you know what? Fuck the dinosaurs" when it was proooooobably more nuanced than that

Actually the term natural selection implies you're a faggot that's why your uncle naturally selected your asshole to fuck, you piece of shit.

try typing those questions into google if you actually want to know. that topic is well studied

yeah sharks go back to the devonian. I also love weird living fossils like horseshoe crabs. it blows my mind a species could survive virtually unchanged for 450 million years.

>and only in captivity

wow, just like happened in the movie!

Ian Malcolm was a mathematician anyway, not a palentologist or any kind of biological scientist. I'm willing to let him slide using a liberal definition for natural selection.

>implying it wasn't God who selected them for extinction

is it true that americans believe that men used to live with dinosaurs ?

>his grandparents refused to live next door to a dinosaur

We don't like your kind around here, Dinolover.

Backwards thinkers like you are why dinosaurs got herded into that shitty, subpar reservation in the Congo. Dinosaur casinos when? They were a noble people and we had no right to displace them.

Many of them did find a way and evolved into birds. The movie treats it like an indie theory but it's actually mainstream in the scientific community.

If I had a time machine, literally the first thing I'd do is go see some dinosaurs and then spend the rest of my days watching T-Rex' fight Ankylosaurus'. Watching raptors take down an Iguanadon would be pretty awesome, too.
