Geerup's Terrible Lizard Classification

This is my attempt to correct Geerup's concepts of classification and explain to him what reptiles, lizards, and dinosaurs are and how species diversify through evolution.

It really doesn't matter how it got started; whether it was your god, someone elses god, a bunch of gods, deposited by aliens, a random series of chemical reactions, or a set path of chemical reactions occuring in the proper catalysts under the proper conditions. (the last of these is abiogenesis)

It doesn't matter which one of those it came from, evolution does happen, and continues to happen right now, and has happened ever since organisms started inheriting mutations from their ancestors.

Reptiles aren't all cold-blooded. Birds are reptiles, and they're endothermic.

You can only collectively define groups of creatures by the features they all share in common. Reptiles being universally cold-blooded is a remnant of the old system of taxonomic classifications which don't make sense in light of monophyletic phylogeny.

You're completely right, and I'm sure he would have agreed with you. Just because he admits that it's a tradition doesn't particularily mean he likes it. :) Just that he accepts it.

You are so good at splicing scenes from movies and pics to get your point across. Looks like a lot of work!

So, GEERUP is looking at a geologic timescale chart and saying that because 'reptiles' start appearing in the Paleozoic, that this is when all current reptiles showed up and haven't changed since then? Is that how this is working

I can not figure out how can a person who has not studied bioscience for a mere half an hour in his entire life feel confident enough to refute the entire field of biology. Though the very mouth with which they are spreding poison against bioscience has been saved at least a dozen of times from dieing by bioscience itself. Will not these ungrateful coward rush down to the hospital when they will have a gangrenous appendix? Or they will keep praying to their gods?

This is unbelievable. Why is GEERUP trying to debate evolution on the grounds that defeats his beliefs anyway?

Am I the only person that liked Godzilla (the remake)?

"We still have apes, too. See?"

Geerup's face in the mirror is just so priceless I almost laughed myself to death. I mean...he just looks so retarded...
