Single? Solitary? You don't seem to be familiar with the fossils of archaeopteryx that we have. Where are you getting your information? You might want to read up a bit. You are demonstrating that you don't really know what you are talking about.
Scientists like using Greek and Latin names. It kinda standardizes naming across many languages. You can call the fossils anything you like. They still exist though.
Actually, there are about 8 different fossil finds. And I thought that archaeopterix was a dinosaur species. I wish you Creationists would make up your mind.
Are you suggesting that penguin, hummingbirds and ostriches do not belong in the Aves Class?
Except for Microraptor, Confuciusomis, Deionychus, and the other ten or so feathered dinosaur genera.
I'm not following you. Do you believe that penguins, hummingbirds, and ostriches all share a common ancestor, just not Archaeopteryx? Or do you believe they are all separately created kinds?
Oh, well its all true! See, they call Tiktaalik a missing link... and gullible people believe thembut if they just called it "flat frog" no one would be as impressed!
Your gross ignorance on the topic you are about to hold forth on is noted.
Quite correct, true believer!
And don't forget that other acid- hydroxylic acid!
That was awesome! Ban Dihyrdrogen Monoxide today!!!!And don't forget that other acid- hydroxylic acid!
Of course those stoopid scientists also have other names for this dangerous substance. For example- oxidane, hydrohydroxic acid, and hydrogen hydroxide, among others.
You wanna talk about dangerous substances? Hydroxylic acid kills thousand of people (maybe millions) every year. It can cause death-dealing asphyxiation (another fancy word for "can't breathe"), it can lead directly to broken bones, and (get this), it's used as a torture device!!
Bad stuff
Additionally, Hydroxylic acid is used in the production of styrofoam (and we all know how bad THAT is for the environment), it is a MAJOR component of acid rain (speaking of the environment), it can cause severe burns, it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients, it's used as a major industrial solvent, it has been directly tied to many cases of animal experimentation, it's an additive in many junk foods (what are you eating?!?!?), and (get this you naysayers) it is directly used in the production of nuclear weapons and some chemical weapons!!
Now imagine the havoc this stuff would wreak if it were in your body!
The very least that "scientists" (and I use that term MOST loosely here) could do is give us a simple term for this common hazardous chemical. Ya know, kinda like "old wing".
Evilution PWNED!!!!!
BackGAMMON!!
..oh wait
Dude, just STOP!!
Did you know that Dihydrous Monoxide is being allowed into our waterways absolutely unchecked???
And did you know that inhalation of even small amounts of dihydrous monoxide virtually always results in death???
It's more deadly than you think. Not only is Hydrogen Hydroxide an acid, it functions equally well as a base. Now just one of these types (or kinds if you will) of chemicals can burn our flesh, but when it acts as both!
And did you know that children are given it by parents unknowingly every day. This is a crisis and must be stopped.wow I thank you, a series of steps which are unrelated but depend on the pyramid chain not falling.
Not really a problem, considering each is buttressed with strong evidence.
We don't yet know what cosmic inflation was, so it's a bit premature to ask what caused it. Perhaps when we learn more about the properties of cosmic inflation, we'll be able to make a statement as to its causes.
Who says there was no space? There was space-time during the era of cosmic inflation. Since we don't know what happened before that, we can't say whether or no there was space-time before that.
Yes it can. We do it routinely in particle accelerators. Furthermore, in the context of an expanding universe, energy is not conserved. The total energy stored in the matter fields inside an expanding (or, technically, contracting) volume of space can increase or decrease, depending upon the properties of that matter. In an expanding box, for instance, the energy in normal matter remains roughly constant (it decreases slightly due to loss in kinetic energy from moving particles "catching up" to the expansion, but this can largely be ignored), while the energy in relativistic matter (such as photons) decreases. The energy in certain other forms of matter, such as some types of scalar field (such as those proposed to drive inflation) or a cosmological constant instead tends to increase with time.
So could quantum foam actually be a froth of universes forming and annihilating? And ours was one that just so happened to be conducive to both long-term stability and (human) life? I realise this is a bit less concrete than, say, Einstein's matter-energy equivalence principle, but the idea just hit me. Cool. I have an explanation for the universe!
We don't yet know. Depending upon what the true fundamental laws are, it may indeed be possible that some subset of the fluctuations in the "quantum foam" are universes forming.
