Fossilzed T-rex's may appear to be carnivore's, but they were fossilzed during the flood.
That doesn't disprove the possiblity that they ate a vegitarian diet before the fall, and changed between that time.
The flood being the prmiary cause of the fossils we find is also why you would never to expect to find any of them fossilzed before they changed, if they changed.
Its also possible that they they ate a vegitarian diet. You don't know enough about T-rex's to claim much about them at all, except that they were very big, and had a nice set of teeth.

I can just picture it now:
I happy little T-Rex nibbling some carrot looks up and spies a wall of water coming towards him.
'Ah, Crap. What to do? I know! I'll try munching down this steak really quickly, maybe it'll go away.
SPLASH
'Oops, didn't work.'
The T-Rex's giant teeth were merely part of its natural cooling system - they were filled with capillaries so that when the 'Saurus got too hot, it simply had to leg it through the forest with it's mouth wide open and the rush of air over it's teeth would cool it's blood. Well, that's what I read in a multi-format computer games magazine anyway.
"Fossilzed T-rex's may appear to be carnivore's, but they were fossilzed during the flood."
No, they were fossilizing millions of years before the Biblical date of the Flood. Also, there is no credible evidence of the Flood, nor any physical way such a Flood could have happened.
"That doesn't disprove the possiblity that they ate a vegitarian diet before the fall, and changed between that time."
I'm sure they ingested some vegetation, like, say, what was in their prey's stomachs.
Just as with the Flood, there is no credible evidence of the "Fall."
"The flood being the prmiary cause of the fossils we find is also why you would never to expect to find any of them fossilzed before they changed, if they changed."
Fossils didn't happen except for those caused by the biblical Flood? That's stupid.
"Its also possible that they they ate a vegitarian diet."
No, it is not.
"You don't know enough about T-rex's to claim much about them at all, except that they were very big, and had a nice set of teeth."
Well, off the top of my head, I know that one doesn't need powerful legs, large pointy teeth and binocular vision to catch a shrub.
I find it mind-numbingly arrogant of these fundies to claim "you don't know enough" when in fact they know NOTHING about the subject (in fact, less than nothing, since they often "know" absolutely the opposite of what is proven about it) and so proudly demonstrate their ignorance.

NtC - succinctly put!
and, furthermore, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a dinosaur, not a fucking pop group. Use a full-stop, not a dash. It's T. rex. Okay? Good.
Its also possible that they they ate a vegitarian diet.
well, I'm pretty sure that the diet of the T. Rex consisted mostly of vegitarians.
" You don't know enough about T-rex's to claim much about them at all, except that they were very big, and had a nice set of teeth."
We've got some pretty good evidence that T. rex was a meat eater. Several hadrasaur fossils have been found with T. rex teeth still embedded in their bones. The same with ceratopsian fossils.
So unless they were chasing them away from the best shrubs its a good indicator that a T. rex did attack these animals.
Corpolites(sp?), fossilized dung, have been found that contained fragments of both T.rex teeth and the bones of other dinosaurs. Good evidence that these droppings were from a T.rex. And guess what? No evidence of plant material were found. Which would imply that these came from a meat eating creature.
So either shut the hell up or, take the time to actually learn what the hell your talking about.
Coprolites Khaine. (Don't google coprophilia)
92g - Look you idiot, Tyrannosaurus Rex died out well over 65 million years ago, There was no Garden of Eden - Those four rivers start out thousands of miles away from each other - they have no common source. There was no fall. They ate meat.
Please walk into a pride of starving lions, just you and a box of lettuces for you to feed them. - Don't forget to preach Daniel to them. Get a friend to videotape it. And seriously, cut your nuts off and put them in a jar before you try this, so your mother has something to remember you by.
"So fundies don't count the death of plants as death?"
I've asked this on a number of occasions, and the answer seems to be "no". I guess plants are less alive than animals or something *shrug*
Something to do with them not feeling or doing anything. Don't ask how that makes sense when they're against abortion, though.
We don't have a lot of T-Rex fossils (that by itself suggests a carnivore, since, in nature, carnivores are always much rarer than plant-eaters). But they did find fossilized dinosaur poop believed to be from a T-Rex or something similar, and it had crushed bones in it. Carnivorous dinosaurs as well as a carnivorous early mammal have been found fossilized with dinosaurs in their stomachs.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
