Because the biological processes that sustained their life ceased to function.

[sp]

As long as there was enough ice to sustain the lush vegetation mammoth were fine. But as the ice receded they were in deep trouble. Enough to simply kill them off one by one - or in groups.

I take it they didn't exist before the Ice Age, which sustained their life.

Yes, rather than some politicized pretence to some caricature of the Socratic method, it would be interesting to hear Saipan's views on mammoths and the issue of---well, whatever issue it is he's trying to insinuate.

Are you defending Creationism, Saipan? Or is your point in another direction?

What's yours?

I was just asking a question scientific expert are avoiding to answer.

Just asking question? Answered by another question - in the usual ducking fashion :)

I defend no one. Inquiring minds want to now.

Do you have any actual evidence that scientists are deliberately avoiding finding out the various factors that led to mammoth extinction?

And I was just asking what your opinion is on the matter.

But Saipan, you have been repeatedly and continually "answering" questions by asking another question. More than me or anyone else has done.

Why hold others to a higher standard than you hold yourself?

Did you find that in any of my posts?

Btw, what are "the various factors that led to mammoth extinction?"

That no one knows.

Do you?

You forgot I asked FIRST.

The scientists have some dark truths about mammoths that they simply don't want us to know.

Yes, answering question by another question is indeed ducking.

What makes you think that?

The eveidence that you made an assertion that they were? Yes:

So what's the answer?

Yes, answering question by another question is indeed ducking.

Then you should cease answering questions by way of asking another.

Like in your very next post:

What makes you think that?

And in the one after that:

So what's the answer?

And in more than half of your posts on the previous couple of pages.

Exactly.

Back to mammoths then.
