How does this help to make dinosaurs?

[nickcarraway]

There aren’t enough OEM parts to make dinosaurs.

Squirt some of these eggs up the butts of male trannies wanting babies.

[tumblindice]

Turkey baster.

[Jamestown1630]

That is very cool. I didn’t know any frogs or toads could do this.

[fidelis]

I can’t believe it. An entire science article without even one mention of “climate change.”

[nickcarraway]

Imagine being born, then being 20.

[HYPOCRACY]

Most disgusting thing I’ve heard all day...still laughing.

[Jamestown1630]

What’s fascinating is the adaptation to environment.

[fidelis]

Nectophrynoides uhehe, named in honor of the Hehe people living in villages surrounding these forests, is the largest.

They sound like a right jolly tribe.

[nickcarraway]

Absolutely. Sounds Lamarckian.

[Jamestown1630]

Adaptation isn’t Lamarckism.

And subsequent speciation in isolation from each other....

[Jamestown1630]

I’ve always been fascinated by Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance.

Maybe there’s more than material inheritance going on in phenomena like this.

[gundog]

I think plain old genetic drift can account for the speciation. The whole ovoviviparous thing is common enough in fish; I wouldn’t think it that far a stretch in amphibians. It may have been far more common in species long since lost.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t think anything happens by chance.

I do think a kind of intelligence exists in all of Nature and Creation, and it has ways of responding to environment.

[gundog]

Fine. But it’s not science.

[Jamestown1630]

Do you think ‘anthropogenic climate change’ is ‘science’?

The ‘Great God Science’ isn’t always correct, and has often had to revise its proclamations.
