Hi ,
As I've noted before, evolutionists
must explain the existence of birds on their tree of life. One group claims that dinosaurs never went extinct after all - they just turned into birds. The other group claims that this is nonsense, but that they indeed evolved from some form
of "early" reptile. In either case, the claim is that "reptilian turned into avian". What is mainly looked for as supposed evidence is 1) similarity of certain bones and/or bone structure, and 2) scales turning into feathers. There is no empirical evidence of either.
What is much more difficult for evolutionists to explain is how a reptile lung turned into a bird lung. The two are vastly different in form and function. There is no evidence whatsoever that one can turn into the other, and no evidence whatsoever that it ever happened. Similarly, reptiles are cold-blooded, metabolizing their food in a completely different way than mammals or birds. Again, no evidence has ever been produced to show how one could turn into the other, or that it ever has.
However, for those who buy into this idea, a recent discovery has many of them excited. In fact, one of the numerous articles written about this begins this way: "The fossil of a 127-million-year-old baby bird has been unearthed, paving the way for understanding how birds evolved
during the age of dinosaurs".
Really? Read that sentence again and think about the implications and suppositions. Next week, we'll look briefly at the fossil - and
the claim!...
