Keratins are the proteins from which hair, nails, claws, horns and hooves are built.
Leviticus XI:19...”Bird”
Leviticus XI:30...”Reptile”
Same word: Tinshemet; “Tuf, nun, shin, mem, tut.”
Interesting.
Both with and without feathers. Proof: Google pictures of Joan Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all...
- Emily Dickinson
Allen’s book is a spoof on Dickinson’s theme.
“Scientists” told the world, with great “authority”, for over 100 years that Dinosaurs were reptiles. They weren’t; and obviously so from inspection of the fossilized bone marrow. And the simple fact that they didn’t hug the ground like all cold blooded species. A good thing to keep in mind when “Authorities” make pronouncements.
Originally they were created so I guess you could say they came from a father.
What ?
Oh .... feather.
Happy theologically correct New Year !
Dinosaurs were cold-blooded reptiles like crocodiles. The modern day “experts” want to try to put feathers on them and make them warm blooded to put them in the fictional evolutionary chain. Most modern day science is simply “fake news” and science fiction. It would be cool to be a biblical paleontologist and find that elusive T-Rex with a spear in its side. :-)
Not an expert on this topic.
I don’t have much trouble with the idea that some dinosaurs had feathering, or that dinosaurs may not be reptiles per se, or that birds derived from this class, Dinosauria.
But I DO have a problem with everyone declaring that birds ARE dinosaurs.
I might as well say mammals ARE reptiles.
Birds are living dinosaurs. They are descended from fast-running carnivorous theropod dinosaurs.
They didn’t all become extinct 65 million years ago.
Yes,but one must also consider how similar the dinosaur record is to reptiles, despite all the bird hoo hah. And also that current reptiles aren’t quite as primitive as has likewise been made out.
Anything with biology is questionable. For God’s sake, they can’t even decide if a modern living Panda is a bear or a raccoon. Why does anyone think they can trulyprognosticate on ancient extinct biology?
Why do birds HAVE to be dinosaurs? Isn’t it possible they are simply derivative of dinosaurs? I see a lot of difference, albeit I am no expert. Just an outsider observing the forest rather than the trees.
Yes
I was thinking in terms of the ancient philosophical definition of man as a featherless biped.
Supposedly Diogenes the Cynic plucked a chicken and held it up saying, "Here is Plato's man."
Sung to the tune The Yellow Rose of Texas....
Does a chicken Have Lips?
Does a Chicken have a Beak?
Does a Bear,,,,
Is the Pope,,,,
