Mark Tanaka-Sanders 4 years ago Question #11 is a no-win proposition. None of the answers are correct. Just because we’re old doesn’t mean we don’t read or keep up with real science. As any scientist who uses the Scientific Method (and what other type of science is there?) knows, fossils don’t come with age and date tags. They have to be interpreted by humans, with no scientific information, nothing Observed, nothing Repeatable, Verifiable, Testable, etc. as required by science compared to philosophy. There is no scientific information showing any fossil to be 296 Million years old or what might have caused fossilization of creatures that lived before that. So much in the subject of Origins has to do with the starting point of one’s thinking based upon their World View. As people of an organization purporting to be faith based, faith defending and God loving, as for me and my house, we start our World View with the God, Creator and Savior of the Bible which explains Origins in the first chapters. Gail Berry 4 years ago Obviously, I know next to nothing about these creatures. 4/13. LauraC 4 years ago Looks like I have a lot of reading to do. What exactly fossilized on a creature with no bone structure at all? I can see it in insects as they have an external carapace, but an octopus? Lots of what passes for science now is taking a theory and magically making it a fact. Kind of like politics—if you just keep repeating something, no matter how unproven it is, it magically becomes true. All that said, I’ve always loved octopuses and am fascinated by their problem solving abilities. Dianne 4 years ago 9/13 good guessing! Dave 4 years ago Got 8 right. Coincidence? demarree1 4 years ago 9 out of 13 Mostly guesses Shandahon 4 years ago 5/13..yeah I’m with Gail…..hahahaha Ray 4 years ago 6/13 and everyone a guess. Right there with Gail and Shandahon. Joy 4 years ago From what I Have read, octopuses have a relatively short life. You should check your source. J.Clark 4 years ago There are freshwater octopi in North America check your sources. There is no way to date an octopus fossil as you have done it is not verifiable. The question about lifespan is a relative opinion answer or an actual fact-the actual fact answer is that the female dies after laying eggs and caring for them. Not that any of this really matters but perhaps a scientific question series should be reviewed by scientists in the future before publishing. Sandra 4 years ago Guess someone took the weekend off since this is the third day we’ve had the same game.
