Ping-worthy, or passe?
"neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do."
You see only what you look for; you recognize only what you know.
Well just damn, this will change the course of mighty human events.
Reminds me of an indian named "Screaming Eagle".
He attached feathers to his buckskin clothing on the arms and legs, then jumped from a high cliff just south of mustang bend.
He flew pretty good too.
Didn't land so well though.
There is no possible way for flying birds to have evolved, period. A flying bird needs a baker's dozen highly specialized systems including a light bone structure, flowthrough lungs, high-capacity heart, flight feathers, specialized balance parameters, tail, a beak, and every bit of that would be anti-conducive to survival until the day the whole thing came together. The chance of all that evolving is zero.
The dinosaur equivalent to a flying squirrel?
Why do I keep hearing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in my head? Flying monkeys perhaps?
Blah Blah Blah
"...Cambrian explosion..."
"...no real fossil record..."

Very interesting. Like bi-wing plane designs evolved into mono-wing designs? Perhaps these critters used all four limbs for flight because they had not evolved enough strenght and power to generate lift with just one pair of limbs.
What everyone doesn't know is that an animal cannot fly once it gets over around 35 lbs. so they have to come up with "glider" theories, etc. But as the article says, everyone tries to fit what they find into their own paradigms. Fact is, things could have been different back then on levels many of us haven't even considered - yet.
One astronomer has floated the idea that the reason we see red shift in distant galaxies is not because they are travelling away from us, but because time travels at a slower speed there. It could be false, but is it really any more far fetched than string theory or so many other hypotheses that have been floated?
We don't know what we don't know.
Sheesh, I can't beleive people are still trying to do research with Archaeopteryx. It's a fraud... a faked fossil!

They fail to address the central issue: Did it taste like chicken?
Earl: "Randy, I've already told you. If they did, they'd wear pants."
Must have been harsh on the first birds having to climb trees and then jumping to see if they had enough feathers yet.
"arboreal"
Somehow this word reminds me of Al Bore, aka totem face.
Most interesting.
