Tell a friend:














Determining the phylogeny of species based on morphology alone would be more viable if a single lineage had led to all species. But of course evolution has a branching structure. So its a good thing that phylogeny is not based on morphology alone but is rather corroborated by numerous dating techniques. This produces fairly accurate results and is a good predictor of gap forms that should exist.
No there are not. But it wouldn't matter if there were. In the middle of the 9th FFoC, I've provided a specific definition of transitional species agreed upon by both sides of this alleged controversy. I also explain a few dozen specific reasons why archaeopteryx is definitely transitional, and how it is no longer possible to distinguish birds from dinosaurs at all.
that doesnt make archaeopteryx any less transitional.
It still has theropod and avian traits therefore it is still transitional.
but it makes it inconsistent with other fossils, if you accept archeopteryx, you have to reject other supposed transitional fossils
I dont think you are getting it.
Archaeopteryx is showing that theropods were becoming like birds, whether or not it actually led to them or not. Also if some other ideas are supposed to be right like creationism, there shouldnt be any transitionals.
we see that in the development of feathers on modern birds.
You still cant change the fact that archaeopteryx is a transitional. It still has the bird and theropod traits in one organism.
No there isnt. you have a fossils with traits of two different groups, where one group is ancestral to the other. You cant interpret archaeopteryx any other way than to call it transitional.
The dubious protoavis which is what i assume you were referring to still doesnt change that fact.
It still shows a theropod transitioning into a more avian like form.
No we don't, not one. Watch the 9th video in this series to see why.
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth..." (Isaiah 40:22,NIV).
the Hebrew language at that time did not have a word for "sphere," only for "circle." In other words, spheres were called circles whether it was a globe or a ball.
This doesn't mean it was correct, this just gives you an idea of how one who argues with the bible needs to learn what grammar and words existed when it was written.
The word, "chuwg" in Isaiah 40:18-23 meant either "circle", circumfrence, "compass" or "whole", which is the most likely context in this case. Had they meant, "sphere", they could have said "duwr", the word for "ball" that was used in Isaiah 22:18.
"chuwg"
Used to define anything that is circle in 3D or flat.
On one hand it was used to describe a flat circle and in ancient Hebrew it would also be used to describe a shape of an orange, an apple, or a pomegranate which are more globe. It literally means that it is round or globe like in this sense. It is interchangeable with the shape of apple or a disc.
This is what a jewish friend of mine that resides in israel told me in an e-mail.
But in the context of the statement, it doesn't make sense for the word to be either 'circle' or 'sphere'. It clearly means 'compass' here, as in 'whole'.
It's a documentary series, 'Darwin's Dangerous Idea' -here on YouTube.
Indeed science and knowledge is my true savior.
it saved me from ignorance.
Just watched it. Darwin is an even greater hero than i thought and way too modest as well, in my opinion.
It's strange to see the fight against religious ignorance still continues to this day, with these creationist-morons trying to gain control over society again.
