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.
“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 !
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
Feathers... as in down... also make great insulation for warm-blooded creatures. That and secondary sexual displays for mating. Point is that flight is not the only reason to have feathers.
They came both ways.
The ones without feathers morphed into Republicans.
The ones with feathers morphed into birdbrains and then into Democrats.
The presumption is that proto-feathers provided warmth, thus being quite advantageous for warm-blooded dinosaurs. Surprisingly, they seem to be a basal trait, lost to the truly giant dinosaurs, but this makes sense since heat conservation is less critical to the more massive dinosaurs.
Yes. Unequivocally, yes.
“Did Dinosaurs Come with or without Feathers?”
yes.
