Birds and Flight - Design or Mutations

[franksrobots]

This guy is a creationist nutter. Just listen to the way he screeches out his anti evolution ideas. Evolution scientists realise that it's a difficult problem to unravel and to figure out how life came about. This professor guy just wants to take the easy way out and take a short cut to solving the problem of life. Ok let's agree with him. And so how did his god plant life on this earth? What was the scientific or otherwise explanation? It just happened as in his bible book? Can the good profes

[mikdalton]

Ah so this is a Professor of a totally different field talking about Evolution. He must be right!

[MsHyde1]

@mikdalton: Yeah, seriously, can anyone point me to a lecture of a real, competent dr./prof. dealing with dinosaurs? Because YT seems to be clogged up with creationists crap.

It must be a tendency of people to see authorities as infallible, viz., Dr McIntosh is a highly-educated and succesful scientist who is also a Creationist; therefore here is a good example of a non-crackpot who believes in a designer. I have several issues with this: 1. So what? Maybe he is, in spite of his education, just wrong. 2. I don't see anywhere what his definition of a god is. A question: Even with proof that a god exists, how do you know it's your god?

ps batistaker123 ...I have worked with hundreds of scientists and engineers... about 60% had faith in evolution and 30% in a creator of some sort. So thats not your 99%! where did you get that from? Tasha

@nzstuartnz Did you record your data? Control for potentially data-skewing phenomena, etc.?

As a materials engineer I am sure you can appreciate the value of careful data collection,and the uselessness of anecdotal evidence for sweeping generalities. I would think you would record this data to further the agenda of evolution deniers or YEC et al.,

In our engineering design class at Uni, the lecturer showed us great engineering designs and said "behind every great design, there is a greater designer". I agreed. We looked at aircraft design. Then bird design. (see previous post).

[nzstuartnz]

greed.  Only a hard heart would believe anything else. He showed us the bird and its design; we were amazed. Thanks for your video. Tasha (materials engineer in NZ)

Everything you think of as bird-like, dinosaurs evolved: Feathers, hollow bones, warm blood, oval eggs in nests, three forward toes, etc. etc. etc.

[batistaker123]

He actually believes that the world is 6000 years old...... How can someone remain in ignorance and continue to promote the biblical version. He's an intelligent man I won't deny that but he is ignorant when it comes to many things. You take his word for it because he is a scientist yet 99 percent of scientists accept evolution as a scientific fact!

@batistaker1"99 percent of scientists" are on the broad way.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:13-15

[batistaker123]

@BereanBeacon1 Interesting I guess I should believe everything in a book compiled 2000 years ago. Especially when this book speaks of talking snakes, talking donkeys, and dragons. Sounds like a reliable source to me. Thank you for enlightening me my friend!

Amen~!
