  • The Air dynamics for birds is ridiculously complex! i mean until just 3 months ago that we could built a stupid robot that can little bit fly like real birds!

    it's shameful for a scientist to speak about evolution.

  • @YamiYami17 "it's shameful for a scientist to speak about evolution": Well, science did finally learn how to fly, and even how to mechanically reproduce birds' flight. It is then not so ridiculously complex, since we can even do it!!!How did your Muhammad helped comprehension of flight? Which part of the Quran helps to explain how it works or how to build an aircraft? Not to mention the 9/11 fundamentalists used this scientifically invented gliding birds for their purposes!

  • @wollin20 Irreductible intelligence is bullshit: Only stupidity is sometimes irreductible.

  • Once upon a time, 14 millions years ago, lived a girl, who wore a red coat, her name was little Red Ridding hood...........

    Hmm fairy tails for adults, just lovely! Can people actually believe that feathers evolved from scales of a reptile?  Really!

  • @Joshuajlawn ...what are you talking about?

  • @Joshuajlawn they evidently did. can you belive that you where born from combination of sperm and the egg inside your mothers womb? incredible right? but same way we have bottled feetuses and fossils of featherd dinosaurs. the level of evidence for evolution is as strong as it is for people being born from eggs and sperm.

    Education? oh my you do need one. Feathers molt like dog fur?? Please don't pretend to know anything of the complexity of the timing and sequencing of the molt, and or the extreme complexity of the feather structure itself. Your logic is absurd. This is my field of expertise, Natural Biology, and Bio-genetics, go to school and then we'll talk.

  • @goshawker07 dont try to belittle others to make yourself feel superior. Then again you are an evolutionist, and Darwin did teach Natural selection for favored races. The same theory that adolf hitler and stalin borrowed for slaughtering millions who they felt were inferior. Get off of your high horse. Were all going to the same grave one day. Were all equal then.

  • Also, feathers grow back all the time. Anyone who's kept aviary birds knows this. Birds go through a partial molt on a regular basis (i.e. for parakeets every few weeks) and can grow back feathers lost in fights or accidents. You might want to leave the house more. Your homeschooling is showing.

  • Feathers are primarily useful to birds as a means of thermoregulation. Specialized feathers are useful for flight, but that is a late adaptation that made use of a pre-existing feature for a new modality. All flightless birds have feathers, and they use them the way mammals use hair; for thermoregulation. Many dinosaur fossils show feathers. People make goose down jackets because those feathers (goose down) are really good insulation. So, "no advantage" to walkers? Flat wrong. Try studying more.

  • Absolutely not,

    feathers are highly specialized and highly specific for flight. They are extremely high maintenance complex and delicate structures that can only re-grow once a year. Feathers would have absolutely no advantage what so ever to a ground dwelling animal. Hair or fur is far more insulating and durable and the only logical choice of natural selection for anything but birds.

  • @goshawker07 there is no "logic" in natural selection, natural selection doesnt think or make choices. feathers molt like dog fur. please, go get an education, atleast a elementary school level

  • At what stage of transitional feather development would there be an advantage. Natural selection can only work if there is an advantage to a theoretical forming structure. Frayed scales becoming increasingly more complex is a futile hypothesis. Come on folks!

  • ever heard of coevolution?

  • feathers function as water-proofing and insulation also. Those are more functional adaptations that would definitely offer an advantage to an endothermic reptile or transitional species.

  • @goshawker07 did you know split ends in hair helps insulate? the same for the equivalence in scales which scales also evovled into hair

  • They are finding lots of feathered dinos/birds in China
