Update ... the local grocery store doesn’t carry the fresh version of Brussel Sprouts.  They only sell the Birds Eye frozen package.  That makes me wonder if its only grown during certain times of the year?  I truly don’t recall it ever being offered on the menu at the local restaurants either.  However, Asparagus is very popular up here.  And places like Applebees is notorious with broccoli overload ... unless the customer was asking for double portions as his 2 side choices?  Ugh!

Scientists put human gene into monkeys to make them smarter, human-like

Shazma Khan  April 11, 2019
Making monkeys more smart and human-like, scientists have used gene-editing to insert human brain gene in a monkey.

For the first time, a team of Chinese scientists made use of gene-editing techniques to make monkey brains more human-like. By the end, the monkeys, rhesus macaques, got smarter and had superior memories as compared to the unaltered monkeys.

Researchers edited the human version of a gene known as ‘MCPH1’ into the macaques. The gene made the monkeys’ brain develop along a more human-like timeline. The gene-hacked monkeys showed better reaction times and improved short-term memories in comparison to their unaltered peers, as per China Daily.

Chinese scientists clone gene-edited monkeys for disease research

The team successfully created 11 transgenic rhesus monkeys carrying human copies of MCPH1. They said that a transgenic monkey model is practical and to a large extent can imitate the human-specific status.

However, few scientists also raised concerns regarding the technique, some even calling it ‘reckless’. Geneticist James Sikela told the MIT Technology Review, “The use of transgenic monkeys to study human genes linked to brain evolution is a very risky road to take. It is a classic slippery slope issue and one that we can expect to recur as this type of research is pursued.”

When I was a kid I LOVED dinosaurs! I thought they were the coolest things and always wanted to play with them. But about a dozen years ago or so I read an article about Nephilim procreating with humans and then thought about those same debased Nephilim mating with reptiles in an effort to destroy or simply to terrorize for amusement the human race and came to a similar conclusion that David Roche posted above. Those creatures DNA were altered and no longer in line with how God created them and hence do not believe, nor want to see them in the next life.

There is something really "off" in our understanding of dinosaurs.  The engineering problems with size have not really been solved.  To be brief, look at the size of the elephant; it is the largest land creature that can exist today, and it has problems related to its physical structure that limit how large it can be.  Yet the bones of the ultrasaurus dwarf it.  How does that work?

There are issues with hydraulics, such as how do you pump blood to the brain when you get beyond a certain size?  How do your leg bones support so much weight?

I certainly am no expert regarding dinosaurs; however, the experts don't seem to have very good answers either.
