Archaeopteryx:.Archaeopteryx
is a bird and means 'ancient wing'. It is sometimes used to prove the evolution
of birds from reptiles.."Birds
and their alleged dinosaurial
ancestors, however, have been found to have coexisted."....Duane
T. Gish,.Evolution:
The Fossils Say No, 1995. Archaeopteryx is sometimes called a hoax.
Archaeopteryx is not a hoax,
but it is not a transitional fossil either, except in the minds of those
possessing an extremely fertile imagination. It is rather, just a bird!
Archaeopteryx also did not have reptile like teeth, but rather, uniquely
bird like teeth, similar to teeth found in other fossil birds, that of,
unserrated.(not
notched on the edge like a saw).teeth
in constricted bases and expanded roots.
Science Journal,
1993, page 259.."Archaeopteryx
probably can't tell us much about the origin of feathers and flight in
true protobirds.(proto
is Greek for 'first in time'), because
archaeopteryx was in a modern sense, a bird.".Evolutionists
still try hard with erroneous.reasonings.intended
for support of their dead theory. More circular
type reasonings.
The DNA
of frogs, snakes, etc. is different
from birds. Archaeopteryx appears abruptly
in the fossil record, with fully formed wings and feathers in a design
common in birds we see today.
An evolutionary expert in
statistical probability, Pierre Lecomte du Nouy in.Human
Destiny.1947,
Longmaus, Green and Co., New York."We
are not even authorized to consider the exceptional case of Archaeopteryx
as a true link. By link, we mean a necessary stage of transition between
classes such as reptiles and birds or between smaller groups. An animal
displaying characters belonging to two different groups cannot be treated
as a true link as long as the intermediary stages have not been found and
as long as the mechanisms of transition remain unknown."
Newsweek Magazine,
November 3, 1980, in an article regarding evolutionists at a Chicago conference."Evidence
from fossils now points overwhelmingly away from the classical Darwinism
which most Americans learned in high school."
Other evolutionists
also
have doubts about Archaeopteryx.."The
tail bone and feather arrangement on swans are very similar to those of
Archaeopteryx."....Darwin's
Enigma, 4th edition, Luther D. Sunderland, Master Books, Santee, California,
page 74. 1988.
Evolutionists need to graduate
from elementary school conjectural
reasoning, such as, 'hmm, it has eyes, legs, a nose, ears, it eats, produces
waste, sleeps, mates and cares for offspring; humans got eyes, legs, a
nose, ears, we eat, produce waste, sleep and we mate and care for offspring;
therefore humans must have evolved from 'em, cause humans are more intelligent'...although,
and wouldn't you know it, some are sure it's the other
way around. Ha ha!
Some 'scientists' avoid considering
quantitative.scientific.DNA
evidence. In addition, some of these 'scientific' evolutionists infer
behavior from observing anatomy,
which has proved perilous; if it walks upright like a man, has a mouth
like a man, behaves like a man in many aspects,
then man must have sprung from it. Such is the pseudo
scientists' reasonings. Hey! That's as bad as inferring that since
a cruise ship has a propellor and so
also does a bacterial flagellum, the ship probably evolved from the
bacteria.
Nature provides such diversity.
Not all fish have teeth. Some amphibians have them. Some don't. Most mammals
have teeth, but not all. Some reptiles have short tails. Others long.
Ice Age:.Who's
putting more water? Ice is frozen water, so the same amount of water has
always been on the Earth, in one form or other. So-called evidence for
an actual Ice Age brings up too many questions for the concept to be called
anything more than a theory.
Joe Kirschviak, a specialist
in paleomagnetism at Caltech, in a recent.New
Scientist Magazine.(newscientist.com
3rd week, November, 1999).asks
of an early global glaciation."What
could have triggered this? Why are there so few periods in the past when
Earth went white?"
If it had, Soviet climate
modeler M.I. Budyko says."Ice
reflects sunlight, cooling the Earth, allowing more ice to grow. This feedback
becomes unstoppable and the whole planet freezes up in just a few decades.".But
we are here, so then that obviously could not have happened? The so-called
Ice Age was the great flood of
Noah's time.
"Geologist Paul Colinvaux
of the Smithsonian.(si.edu).Tropical
Research Institute in Panama reported that pollen trapped in sediment cores
from Amazonian lakes showed that the nearby tropical rainforest has remained
intact for at least 40,000 years, well into the time the Pleistocene
ice age might have shriveled the forest."
...New Scientist Magazine.(newscientist.com),
November 20, 1999.
Basically, the well known
yet baffling
worldwide subtropical climatic evidence.(rocks).alludes
to conditions prior
to the great flood, set in motion by the then prevalent
atmospheric conditions enabling the trapping of solar radiation:.Genesis
2:5,6.
Once this ancient greenhouse
effect was dissipated,
worldwide climate became drastically altered. Atmospheric circulation began
then and ice caps at the poles formed. The world's weather was never the
same again.
The book.The
Genesis Flood.on
page 288 provides additional information.
Spotted eagle rays:.have
specialized dental plates to crush hard shelled oysters, clams, etc. Their
cousins the Sting rays are often used
as frisbees.
Frogs:.How
does a frog know he's a frog, thus
acting as a frog? Why doesn't he think he's a bird?
How does a
frog know to avoid permanent bodies of water, which may contain fish and
consequently pose a threat to the eggs it disperses to make new little
froggies? The tadpoles of some species take as long as two years to develop.
