The Dinosaur Feather Mystery Part.1

TDFM is a documentary on the evolution from reptiles, or dinosaurs, to birds or more accurately about the evolution of feathers.

I've divided this film to 6 separate parts. The 1st part is mostly basic information about the structure of feathers common to most modern birds.

Next part will be hadling the flightstroke.

Discalimer: I do not own the rights to this documentary. It was recorded from Discovery Science -channel and is property of the Discovery network and it's respected authors.

Epidexipteryx hui, the feathered fossil dinosaur older than Archaeopteryx!

Modern platypus so not have teeth. However a fossil platypus did have teeth. Further evidence for evolution. Grow up creationists. Gods kingdom is not full of nitwits, is it?

@icsvortex665 Wrong. The platypus IS considered to be a transitional species. They are monotremes.

They are warm blooded, they are hairy, they lay eggs, they have venomous spines on their hind legs, and they suckle their babies with mother's milk. They are semi-reptilian. How much more transitional do you want them to be?

@dingodavid ok it-s a strange one. but still that doesn t prove your point. all you know is that it s an extinct animal and it died . we have strange animals like that today but they are not considered transitional species : the platypus for example. no fossil prove evolution

:(..... Please stop using the word "design".

@icsvortex665 - "archaeopteryx...if you ask me...was just a bird."

Then it's a good thing that nobody is asking you, because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Name one modern bird which has teeth, a long reptilian tail, large claws on their forearms, and other skeletal features found only in ancient therapod dinosaurs. I'll bet you $100 that you can't.

@pinball281 What the first part of your sentence has to do with the other?

I can turn the question right back to you, do you think your creator created himself? Or do you think he is eternal? If it is the later, and if eternal is defined as infinite time, and we know today time and space are 2 faces of the same coin, how do you reconcile that? To put it more simply, without space there is no time.

I don't know how exactly the universe was "created", but I don't put god where my ignorance begins.

[pinball281]

@assalane no it was not a joke,obviously there was a creator for the creatures and the creator or do you think the universe juts somehow created itself??

[assalane]

@pinball281 That was a joke right?

@123ecks Wow you clearly have no idea how evolution...

@icsvortex665 Sure Archaeopteryx and similar birds of that time were birds, but they had features no known bird after the end of the cretaceous period had. Whether the platypus changes depends on the conditions of its environment and on the platypus themselves, some species have a very good "ability" to adapt and spread and others are so "set" that they don't. And what is your reasoning behind your statement of birds not being descendents of dinosaurs?
