Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side from the other two 'raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here... or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.
Dude, that's a great picture. My son's username on one of his gaming forums is raptor jesus... Back to the Noah's Ark thing, though. It's probably more likely to be from civilizations way before our commonly accepted Babylonian and Sumerian civilizations, when the continents were shaped differently. I don't know much about carbon dating but I do know of a good book that presents a pretty compelling argument for civilizations way before the usual time periods. Not that I don't believe in the Bible, but these Noah's Ark stories do tend to pop up quite a bit. Ancient boats that show up on top of mountains seem more like an issue of plate tectonics to me.
