Not sure if I submitted this one or not :D
[in response to this - Think i'm wrong? Show me your evidence that T-rex where vegetarians]
well by looking at their teeth you can tell that they are perfect for sawing trees insuch ( just like a saw) and the fact that the only thing ever found on them has been vegetable matter.if you think I'm wrong then prove it.

No numbnuts. Herbivores have flat teeth for grinding plant material up. What would the T-Rex need saw shaped teeth for, eating logs?
The T-Rex very clearly has the kind of teeth used to shred and consume flesh. The T-Rex is a carnivore. And what do you mean "the only thing that has been found on them"?
Aaaargh, this stupidity, it hurts :D
Pyroclasm already said everything about what form a herbivores teeth must have therefore I won´t repeat it (in humans it is the molars which are there for the job of grinding up plant material).
One has to wonder how Brad thinks that it might have work with T-Rex and the trees. Would he have swallowed the logs/branches as a whole, after he sawed them off with his teeth? At least wouldn´t have had another choice as, because of the T-Rex lack of molars he wouldn´t have been able to grind them down ;)

"The 4 1/2-foot-long Triceratops pelvis had 58 definite bite marks and 22 probable bite marks that could only have been made by a T-rex, Erickson says. A cast of one of the punctures was an exact replica of the canine-like tooth of an adult Tyrannosaurus, and distinctive serrations like those on the cutting edges of T-rex teeth could be seen where the teeth had scraped the bone surface. Many of the bites were furrows produced by what Erickson calls "puncture and pull" biting. These are produced where the teeth penetrated the bone and ripped back through the carcass with all the force of the T-rex's 10,000 pounds."
T-Rex can't even detect something that doesn't move anyway.
You're a T-Rex, you can only see something if it moves, you don't have the necessary teeth to grind down plants.... so of course you spend your time moving back and forward really fast cutting down trees!
>_<

Herbivores have flat teeth. Carnivores have big pointy saw-teeth. Nice try.
And also--fossilized plant matter. It's everywhere.
Brad, a quick google search will bring you all the proof you need. You cannot rely on others for your information; you have to take responsibility for your own education.
And, until you do so, I would suggest a muzzle.
Sharks have serrated teeth. Did they eat trees, too? They've found tooth marks on dinosaur bones, just as they find them on the victims of wolves, lions, etc. today. At least more rational fundies, if there are such things, try to suggest we've never found the fossils of the vegetarian T. rex - only the post-Fall ones and their victims.
"well by looking at their teeth you can tell that they are perfect for sawing trees insuch ( just like a saw)...
First of all, only carnivores have sharp, pointy, serrated teeth. Herbivores have flat grinding/crushing teeth.
"and the fact that the only thing ever found on them has been vegetable matter.if you think I'm wrong then prove it."
Second of all, it's your assertion, you "prove" it.
*sigh*
Look at a cow's teeth. Look at a horse's teeth. Giraffe, rhinoceros, elephant, take any herbivorous creature alive, and compare it's teeth to a T-Rex's teeth. Then come back here, and try and run that alleged "logic" by us again.
@ Grigadil
Keep going like that, and you be saur-y.

See this decision making skill is why christians keep getting eaten by lions...
Rimshot for Grigadil!
the teeth look nothing like a saw. They are too sharp and wide to cut through trees without becoming damaged, and the T-Rex would have trouble turning its head sideways to saw through trees. Additionally, the teeth are not suited to chew leaves, and wood is impossible to eat for something with those kinds of teeth.
So why is it unchristian to believe that maybe T-Rex ate meat?
I mean, we see lions and sharks today- and they eat meat.
"if you think I'm wrong then prove it."
Hell, you're not even literate, let alone right.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
