Look at overuse of antibiotics...look at when radium was used to illuminate the dials of watches...look at the use of Thalidomide. Disparate examples of things that were entered into with bad results.

Is something like what happened in the work of Fiction "I Am Legend" possible? A world killer virus?
Aww, I was just making another Jurassic Park reference.

But I agree with you. I also have the need to point out that we didn't exist at the same time as dinosaurs for a reason. They are better designed for hunting and killing than we are. Even though they lack intelligence in comparison to us to introduce them into the current times would be bad. They are more than capable of fighting against us and we do look quite a bit like food to them. (those that eat meat anyway)

Granted I'm not saying that they will take to the streets and destroy us all. I'm just saying nature didn't intend for both them and us to be alive at the same time it will clearly be counter productive to create a world where that was the case.

Yes. Science doesn't exactly have the PR that, say, even the KKK have.

True. It was Ken Miller I was quoting too. Excellent, excellent scientest.
