It's skeptical intelligent animals like us would even exist if you go back far enough in time.

As I've pointed out, you need to understand the difference between speculatively possible and actual probability.

Think of what we will be capable of in 100,000 years, if we don't kill ourselves.  You are very skeptical today of many of the advancements that will surely follow.

That is a most ridiculous statement on so many levels.

Dinosaurs lived for 165 million years and alongside mammals for 160 million years.  Mammals were only rat sized.  What chance would you give if you were an outside observer, say 155 million years ago, that after so many years living side by side and dinosaurs dominating, that mammals would eventually take over, much less that an intelligent animal like humans would evolve?  You'd be skeptical.

Again, you are being a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Some of the rat sized mammals that lived besides dinosaurs survived.  Hence, Solstice.  😊

Don't be foolish, I taught that term here years ago.  You heard it from me, but you fail to understand it.

Garthok didn't pay the cover fee.  He can't watch the show.

That's what someone who suffers from it would say.

You obviously must think it's a competition, and you, of course, are the best at everything.
