Bonehead26 07:36 PM: '.....why things don't get better in the world". Well Einstien, if you understood my post correctly (LMAO) I stated that 100,000,000,000 tonnes of carbon is converted (carbon fixation-look it up) into biomass EVERY year. There is no "250 million year wait". Anyway, your application for 'Stupidest Person of the Year' has been forwarded to the Guiness Book of World Records for verification. Good luck........

Tlee47ftw 07:14 PMMay 10 2009 @@@ All nutrients now in the food chain has to stay cyclical just to keepup with present consumption. As billions of additional people are born, the equivalent amount of nutrients has to be added. We in the U.S. eat 900 million meals per day, in the year 2050 that will double to 1.8 billion meals per day. All atoms around today have always been around meaning we have to use what we have. We can't make any new ones. Those atoms are locked up in oil, phosphate rock, limestone rock etc. and has to be re-introduced into the food cycle by us.

You are correct to a point. The corn that we eat gets its 19 carbon atoms , located in its four neucleotides, from limestone. The phosphate atom attached to each neucleotide comes from phosphate mined in Florida and N.C. ************************ huh? This doesn't make any sense to me. All the phosphate in all the corn on earth comes from phosphate mined in FL and NC??? What?

"In all, photosynthetic organisms convert ..." - look at this post where the writer apparently doesn't know that the problem isn't the carbon but the 250 million year wait to get it! - Just in case anybody wonders why things don't get better in the world

ParkLf4 07:04 PMMay 10 2009 @@@ You are correct to a point. The corn that we eat gets its 19 carbon atoms , located in its four neucleotides, from limestone. The phosphate atom attached to each neucleotide comes from phosphate mined in Florida and N.C. All of this was at one time living pre-historic animals. We are just re-introducing this that is locked up in phosphate and limestone rocks back into the food chain in the form of fertilizer. Eventually this fertilizer becomes our next meal. Be it chicken, horse, cattle, pork, pintos, butterbeans, celery etc.

BRENDAF. Another good example of the conservative uneducated idiots who follow Sara, Rush, GWB and their ilk. No wonder the educated Republicans went over to the Democrats. The rest of the Republicans are now finally dying off and I can only hope that will not take long.

Oh, geez ...for a moment I thought the story of a 75-million year old fossil was about Ted Kennedy.
