I am imagining the animals of the split between paw and hoof.

Right?? Lol evolution is a theory lauded as a law yet has zero backing other then high priests of the Order of Scientism.

@@johnmckown1267 You know, what the joke was just so stupid I couldn't comprehend it. I didn't know there was someone out there that would think that would be a funny joke not to mention the ten other people that liked it.

where is the fossil? show us

[@Kevin-vf7um]

* only the jaw bone * * may have looked *

[@ironhead9507]

The way they were digging looked more like kids playing at the beach than a proper archeological dig

[@fenrirgg]

When the reporters say you to do something you just do it "hey, dig a little for the cameras please".

[@thems_the_brakes]

@@fenrirgghaha true. They probably weren’t anywhere near the fossil with those shovel scoops.

[@akenjah]

I found a geo the other day. I calculated it to be 80 million years old!

[@herbienbrian2]

I had a Geo Metro a while ago, it was about 30 years old. 😂

No hooves, but certain of hooves?

Ungulates are a pretty specific branch....

[@glentanner4770]

How did they pinpoint 65 million, why not 64 or 66 million, PLEASE.

[@dabrams84]

They use carbon dating.

[@boardmandave]

I like the part where they showed us the fossil

[@eewilson9835]

and the part where its named after humans from this day and age, unrelated to the life of the animal itself.

[@rchrdjms62]

This points out one of the things that science can't explain in their fictionalized account of the Earth. That is why did the dinosaurs die off and mammals and other creatures did not?

[@olenmullins1333]

Ain’t that just the craziest shit? We got platypuses swimming, alligators eatin people, crocodiles terrorizing folks that live on rivers in Africa, but ain’t nobody ever seen T-Rex running down there street!

[@Markynava777]

I do know History has been fucked with, but there are certain things that can b tested for yourself... Mammals probably were able to survive due to being smaller, able to hide in better areas. But certain animals now a days did evolve from dinosaurs... Reptiles and birds... So they kinda live on... Idk

[@53zwitt]

SO it's a new species, only the skull and jaw were found. And with just that, you know what the rest of the body looked like? You can tell by it's head and jaw that it was hoofed?? B.S

[@novohammer6176]

65 million years ago and only a couple feet deep , that’s amazing

[@dabrams84]

Oh my God the comments. My eyes are bleeding reading this ignorance.

[@CaliCarolyn]

Thank you for saying that! I was feeling the same way and was about to exit the comments!

[@RophavioZeman-gr2vx]

It didn't give rise to nothing, it was just another animal that live amongst other animals some died off others didn't not hard to understand no evolution.

[@kygal]

Where was it?

[@starshine3588]

Key words you should listen for…”MAY have looked”. This means they actually have no idea…but they want you to think it looked like this….and they didn’t find any actual hoofed feet….so that part is just a guess as well.

[@ryanesau8147]

5000 years ..post biblical flood fossil

[@captainsnyder9056]

Lol, I guess this mammal species pissed off Noah so he refused to let them on his boat.

[@ryanesau8147]

@@captainsnyder9056 no it’s just one of the millions that weren’t taken. Only reason there are fossils is rapid flood burial

[@SerendipityNJ]

You never know what you're going to unearth out in Colorado, juz sayin

[@eewilson9835]

Its selfish and wrong to name it after famous people that have nothing to do with the actual animal or helping educate people about what kind of life that animal may have had. Instead, its named after humans from this day and age, bad bad self worship gone wrong, and that idol worshiping is going along lines that disregard the great life that animal lived.

[@armandoreyna415]

65 million years old 😂😂😂😂

[@shanepowers7566]

It looks like a cat to me.

[@eewilson9835]

its ol ms jones cat, they just wanted to get on the news as a gag, notice no image of the fossil, and not one hand drawn representation or digital rendoring to boot

[@basketballspinner]

carbon dating has been shown to be highly controversial by scientists, themselves

[@WiseSnake]

They don't use carbon-dating for things this old. They referenced paleomagnetics and CA-ID-TIMS U-Pb tested volcanic ash to age the surrounding matrix.

Fake bible.

[@GospelGary]

"...gave rise to all hooked animals." That would be from the arc of Noah in Genesis 6, about 5,500 years ago. It's written in black ink on white paper that a child of ten can comprehend. How dieth the wise man, even as a fool so saith The Scriptures.

[@blueabattoir]

So, are you going to tell us what they were hooked on? PCP? Meth?

[@natasham7809]

[@bukka6697]

What I find amazing is that Noah, his wife and handful of sons were able to repopulate the earth, including all the different races and all the genetic variations we have today. It's almost like that's a made up story or something...

Read Genesis 6 and learn.
