Evidence for Evolution: More Feathered Dinosaurs! (Part 2)

[chinamanspeakenlis]

@aryanfromaryavarta the only difference is baseball bat do not reproduce and does not EVOLVE in the first place. you dumb ass!! you opened your mouth just to show us how incredibly stupid and ignorant you are?evolution is not a ladder its a process of adaptation for survival. anything that can reproduce, evolves to fit in their environment. give it few million years and you'l have diversity in species. FYI humans have DNA for developing a tale, chickens have DNA to develop TEETH but they r off.

I thought feathers evolved originally for the same reason mammals have hair, thermal regulation.

THIS MAN IS A FOOL!!!!! AND TO PROVE HIS POINT HE QUEOTES A FAIRY TALE FROM THE BIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just grew wings...

the vid should start at 1:27

[DaKook14]

yeah, stupid scientist with thier stupid evidence. what do they know?

[criskity]

0:26 "What they're really saying is this"... what *who* are really saying? Certainly not scientists!

[Jude2Mahoney]

I love the way Christians ALWAYS massively simplify examples of evolution. The first point was a classic case of this. If you lack the ability to understand it, you really ought not try and discuss it in a public forum.

This man is a complete idiot. Flight has proven to not have been used by birds until long LONG after the birds actually evolved.

[Rockster969]

A great vid,thankyou.Such good,literally forensic science to be able to confidently make a pictorial representation of the bird and it's coloured plumage.

[Elififa]

"Pictures." What a dumb ass. I hate it when people don't understand and think they understand. I hate it even more when people don't question their understanding.

"Great claims require REAL evidence." - creationist

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

What a blatantly dishonest man. Feathered dinosaurs have been found in a plethora, including feathers at all stages. A non-flying feathered dinosaur could have precisely the same advantages from feathers that modern flightless birds possess.

[SirMildredPierce]

@FiverBeyond And birds evolved in a time where they didn't have a whole lot of predators. The predators of the small dinosaurs and the mammals died out and after that these tiny animals managed to take over the earth...

[Cephalochordata]

@SirMildredPierce Actually birds as we know them (crown group neornitheans) evolved during the Cretaceous period when there were still plenty of theropod predators around. Also; be careful not to conflate predation with interspecific competition over niches.

[FiverBeyond]

@SirMildredPierce

That makes sense to me...

[ndjarnag]

@FiverBeyond

Good point, think of the "road runner" for example. The key for me is that most small warm blooded creatures are covered in insulation of some type (except for underground rodents). If dinosaurs were warm blooded (and evidence suggests they are), then very few small dinosaurs were featherless IMO.

[FiverBeyond]

@ndjarnag

That's a fascinating point, and I wonder if the fossil record backs that up. It seems like the smallest dinosaurs, if they were warm-blooded, would have a bit of an issue there. Looking up compsognathus...

[MagnusIan]

I love how the argument changes when the creationist try to make it out that there's no evidence for evolution so therefor we believe on "faith", but yet when THEY take things on faith, oh that's different and that's a good thing. Pfffft, fucking morons, all of them.

[Edella]

Man, why o why can't the creationists get that POPULATIONS EVOLVE, NOT INDIVIDUALS! Apologies for the caps lock, but I truly don't understand why they keep talking about individuals overnight "evolving" wings, lungs, etc. This is biological evolution 101.

It would be like me demanding evidence for Jesus having died from a shotgun blast to the the head after being told a thousand times that crucifixion was the cause of death, not a fatal firearms injury. :shrug:
