HENDRY COUNTY: Paleontologists in Hendry County uncovered the bones of a giant sloth weighing more than five tons. The prehistoric creature's remains were found by a worker digging dirt for the Everglades restoration project.

The giant sloth was found 30 miles south of Lake Okeechobee, off a paved road, deep in the Everglades.

I just watched a documentary about them.
It was interesting how the native peoples claimed
that arrows would just bounce off the hide.
So they tested to see if it would be true and it is.
They were strange creatures!

I saw that. It was in Patagonia. They say the giant sloth may not be extinct there.

if that is so there is another blow to the evolutionists and their credibility.

Why?

Evolution is not dependent on extinction....especially from an apparent biological dead end like the Giant Sloth.

why believe in something that is subject to the whims of a scientists who is as fallible as anyone?

evolution is a theory with built in loopholes allowing it to escape the fact that it needs to prove what it is proposing and not use conjecture or declarations. there is nothing there in the theory that demonstrates that evolution could ever be true. it is all subject to the scientists making the claims.

Because it beats the hell out of bible thumping bullshit which has already been thorougly dismissed by real scientists.
