Evoultion..?

Question

I am 16 years old. Okay, lets look at the feather. a truly marvel of desgin. with a downard thrust of its wings, a seagull launches itself skyward. Once aloft, it wheels and turns, rising effortlessly on the wind. Making only tiny adjustments to the angle of its wings and tail, the bird hangs nearly motionless in the air. what enables it to perform thoose functions with such grace and perfection? to a great extent, its feathers. birds are the only animals today that grow feathers. Most birds have diffrent kinds of feathers. the most visble are the overlapping contour feathers, which give birs their smooth, aerodynamic shape. contour feathers include the wing and tail feathers. which are vital to flight. A humming bird may have fewer than 1,000 such feathers, and a swan more than 25,000. Okay let me get to the point. the fact of the a matter is feathers are "a little to perfect" thats the problem notes yale university's manual of orinthology. feathers give no indication that they ever

CONTINUED.

they ever needed improvent. in fact the earliest know fossil feather is so mordern looking as to be indistinguisahble from feathers of birds flying today. Yet evoultionary theory teaches taht feathers must be the result of gradual cumlative change in in earlier skin outgrowths

Continued.
More over, feathers could not have evolved without some plausible adaptive vaule in all of the intermediate steps. To put it simply, even in theory evoultion could not produce a feather unless each step on a long series of random inheritable changes in feather strucure significantly improved the animal's chances of survival. even many evoultionists find it a stretch of the imagination that something as complex and functionally perfect as a feather could arise in such a way. Further, if feeathers developed progerssively over long period of time, the fossil record should cantain intermediate forms. but none have been found, only traces of fully formed feathers. Oh, and that dino-bird fossil was forged.

Lol yeah wayne your right. some adults on here are funny.

Lol. Police dude, or whatever or name is. are you really that stupid? rethink your answer then challenge me.

ahh...Again with the age thing. Its funny, when adults are stupified, thats all they can say.

Okay Paul im going to answer your Little comment with this -FORGED EVIDENCE. some fossil 'evidence' that was once loudly hailed as proof that birds evolved from other creatures has since been shown to have been forged. 1999 NG(National geograhic) magzine featured an article about a fossil of a feathered creature with a tail like a dino's. the magazine delcared the creature to be a true misson link in the complex chain that connects dinos to birds. the 'fossil' however, turned out to be a forgery, a composite of the fossils of two diffent animals in fact, no such "missing link" has ever been found

Answer 1

We have still yet to see any evidence of one species becoming another. Variations in the same species doesn't equate to evolution. For all we know at this stage is that those variations are preprogrammed in the DNA as possible variations. Mixing of DNA may make a new type of dog, but it is still a dog. So, even if a complex single cell organism managed to spontaneously form with perfect parts one time or even a thousand times, it wouldn't account for the wonderful variety of life here on Earth.

Answer 2

There is no way to answer your question since any evidence presented you state is forged. It is not a cease of one fossil , but hundreds, that have been discovered with various stages of feathers. But you are stuck in your opinion (which has come from various sites that have more forged evidence that any natural history museum) so really it doesn't matter.

Answer 3

Let's start with your first statement, "I am 16 years old."

Take the time to learn a bit more, such as the dishonesty of plagiarizing and how to spell.

There's a great deal yet for you to study before you take on the job of correcting people's views.

Answer 4

Here is my one problem with evolution. I'll keep it simple because even if I am long about it and drag it out then people will still get mad...

The transitional fossils that we find or think we have found are so scarce that there is no real reason why that transitional fossil couldn't be another species...

I also, have found that the Geologic Column is not in order and out of whack and more things...

There I said things, thumbs me down people. Nothing new.

Answer 5

OK, now that we have looked at feathers, let's look at small running dinosaurs that had feathers on their forelimbs. Then let's look at birds that had feathers all over the bodies, but claws on their front limbs and teeth in their mouths! Then let's look at the amazing coincidence that these toothed, clawed birds were found in geologic strata older than that where fully formed birds are found, but younger than strata where dinosaurs are found! Amazing, isn't it?

Answer 6

Feathers evolved.

Answer 7

This proves how versatile life on earth is. To evolve dramatically to adapt to the changing conditions around it.

Answer 8

You just noted that their are many types of feathers. If they are so perfect, why are there so many types? Are some more perfect than others?

Think this though more thoroughly and come back.

Answer 9

Yes evolution.

Feathers have a clear evolutionary path like all other developments. Dinosaurs developed feathers first, and there's good reason to believe modern birds are direct descendants of dinos.

Answer 10

There are very similar structures on lots of fossilized dinosaurs that didn't fly. They have had about 65 million years for evolution to refine them. It might seem odd to you, but it doesn't to most biologists.
