My Daisy Chain Challenge

[StormanNorman]

I said name an animal. Just because someone came up with a classification system does not make us animals. No animal will ever act as a human does.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

That's called .... the need to feel special.

Last time I looked I was a human, riding a motorcycle, wondering about life, and using a computer.

There are no apes here.

Hominidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Loudmouth]

Is this where truth and honesty breaks down with evols again? Where they can't accept the endless mistakes? Even Lucy was laughed at by dentists and medical professionals.

Lucy had a human-like pelvis not found in other living apes. Lucy is transitional.

 

[Loudmouth]

Oh, they are still toting around Lucy as an exhibit as though she were some sort of hybrid human instead of the knuckle walker ape that she is.

Lucy had the pelvis of a biped like us, and unlike other living apes.

Why don't you tell us what features a fossil needs to have in order for you to accept it as a transitional.

 

[Loudmouth]

I said name an animal. Just because someone came up with a classification system does not make us animals.

"a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli."

Do humans meet those requirements?

Kind of a moot point since I don't believe there are any transitional fossils.

Similarities does not equal transitional fossil.

 

[Lethe]

There is no such thing as a transitional fossil because we are all transitional species.

What do you consider T. roseae to be?

Similarities does not equal transitional fossil.

So you are a hypocrite. You demand the evidence and then ignore it when it is given to you.

Then what would?

 

[Subduction Zone]

E.D., your problem is that you never ask the "right" questions.

You always assume you know the answer before you ask them.

By now you should know that many dinosaurs were feathered. These were not flight feathers. They were heat regulating feathers. If you look at a bird today you will find that only a relatively small number of feathers are flight feathers. Most feathers on birds have the job of heat regulation. According to evolution that was the original purpose of feathers.

So what is the use of "half a wing". I will let you think about that for a while. What good would it do for a dinosaur to have a feathered arm, too small to fly with?

Sorry but something that looks like feathers, used for warmth does not equal a giant leap from dinosaur to birds.

 

[Subduction Zone]

It does not take a giant leap. What if an animal could evolve to 90% there?

Birds are dinosaurs just as bats are mammals.

Kind of a moot point since I don't believe there are any transitional fossils.

How do you know that a fossil is not transitional if you can't tell us what features a fossil needs in order to be transitional?

Similarities does not equal transitional fossil.

So a transitional fossil would not share any features with any other species? Really?

 

[HitchSlap]

E.D., your problem...

They have medications for ED, you know.

 

[EternalDragon]

So you are a hypocrite. You demand the evidence and then ignore it when it is given to you.

I'm not ignoring anything. I'm disagreeing with the conclusion which I am free to do.

Are you trying to beat me into submission with the name calling stick and at the same time calling Christians hateful and uncaring on another post?

It would require an intelligence (That is not something natural selection has) plus a lot of genetic information not present as well as a complete change in the embryo plan while getting past all the correction mechanisms.

Wrong. Now you are jumping to a conclusion.

And what do yo mean by "an intelligence". Be specific. Give an example.
