A scientist once made a mistake? Thanks for sharing this. I will keep that tidbit in mind. There was once a scientist who made a mistake. Got it.And we don't really need to go into the fact all over again that they even got babies and adults wrong by classifying them as seperate species do we?
Yup you does. I can see that (just kiddin)!
Avian dinosaur is an oxymoron since a dinosaur is only and always a reptile (usually a large one). It is the modern equivalent of "dragon" a large or winged reptile.
That's the problem with simple logic, it doesn't work in a complex subject. Ancestral or not, species with basal characteristics don't immediately go extinct as soon as another population arises. It's the old "if Americans came from Europeans, why are there still Europeans" non-problem.
Again, transtional does not mean ancestral.
No. For decades the the definition has focused on characteristics more than chronology.
Sorry, but no. Homology is science in anatomy. All the more so as we sequence genomes and see that the same genes make the different structures in different lineages.
But you don't have Dino DNA to sequence.That's the problem with simple logic, it doesn't work in a complex subject.

So if I find two Merychippus fossils, and cannot say for sure that these two were as closely related as a mastif is to a husky, then evolution is falsified?
It just proves that there are some things the fossil record cannot tell us.
But there are other things the fossil record can tell us. It can tell us, for instance, that there was a long series of mammal-like reptile fossils through which early reptiles advanced into mammals. You ignore that, and complain that we cannot know the detailed species identification with certainty. Go by what we do know.
Engage your brain and see if you can think of any other ways an organism could be rapidly buried without a global flood.
Not "a" scientist, every one of them.A scientist once made a mistake? Thanks for sharing this. I will keep that tidbit in mind. There was once a scientist who made a mistake. Got it.
And your point is?
How ironic. Because there were no winged dinosaurs. Pterosaurs are flying reptiles, not dinosaurs. Avian dinosaur is an accurate scientific appellation differentiating avian theropods from non-avian theropods and from other dinosaurian archosaurs (birds are also archosaurs, you do know how cladistics works, right?).
Any guess as to what Ichtyosaurs, Plesiosaurs and Mosasaurs were? (hint - they weren't dinosaurs either)
Hmmm that leads to sedimentary layers? What magic process were you thinking of?
I know, they all decided to go for a swim in the ocean, that's got to be it, picnic by the beach day.
Not "a" scientist, every one of them.
They've made another mistake of grievous proportions in their classifications, leading you to believe other fundamental errors.
Earlier you talked about not being able to tell if Dino were closely related like the Mastiff and Husky. So you see no problem with then declaring they are separate species?
Would your conclusion about the Husky, Mastiff and Chinook be correct if you labeled them as seperate species? No it wouldn't, you would see the Husky or the Mastiff as an intermediate species leading to the Chinook species.
You would believe you had evidence of the evolution of species into other species. All because you couldn't tell what was what. And yet you see no problem?
Your own argument defeats you. If you can't tell if they are the same species and closely related like the Husky and Mastiff, you can't tell if they are different species.
YUP! Looks like does not equal IS. Similarity does not equal relationship in terms of lineage. Go on...
I've given you evidence at least 20 times now. An entire living world.
Asian, African, Latino. Husky, mastiff, poodle. Red tailed deer, white tailed deer, and on and on and on. Open your eyes and quit willingly blinding yourself to the truth and you'll actually be able to see.
If an entire living world of infraspecific taxa in every species isn't enough evidence......
Then show me an infraspecific taxa in the fossil record. If they can't match observational data they are wrong.
Why not, they were wrong for close to 200 years when they published all those papers telling us dinosaurs were reptiles.
And besides floods or oceans you have yet to provide a sedimentary process of your own.Sarcasm? Is that the best you can do? You really can't think of can't think of any other ways? Maybe I was giving you too much credit.
Why don't you show me evidence that shows the scientists are wrong about transitional fossils and a worldwide flood which you have made claims for many times throughout this thread but have presented ZERO EVIDENCE for.
And yet shall we discuss genetically altered plants or flies by man? Funny how man made only bothers you when we discuss dogs.You have shown nothing except your own claims. And your use of dog breeds is idiotic since those are MAN-MADE BREEDS not found in nature.
And besides floods or oceans you have yet to provide a sedimentary process of your own.
So tell us this magical burial that occurred that led to sedimentary layers? I am truly curious.
How many times must I give you the evidence? Every species alive today has several infraspecific taxa within it.
I gave you an entire living observable world. Quit ignoring it. As a matter of fact there is no sense in this conversation any more because like your Gobi Desert farse it leads nowhere since you knew it wasn't a desert when those fossils formed. Objected to my claims of weathering then finally admitted sand is weathered rock. You'll object just to object, one of those that refuse to see any evidence right in front of their nose.
And yet shall we discuss genetically altered plants or flies by man? Funny how man made only bothers you when we discuss dogs.
You have yet to explain what the difference in offspring between a Husky and Mastiff would be if man brings them together or natural conditions does so, like famine causing migration etc. So in reality there is no difference except time involved and the number of different varieties.
