CORVALLIS, Ore. Researchers at Oregon State University have made a fundamental new discovery about how birds breathe and have a lung capacity that allows for flight and the finding means it's unlikely that birds descended from any known theropod dinosaurs.

The conclusions add to other evolving evidence that may finally force many paleontologists to reconsider their long-held belief that modern birds are the direct descendants of ancient, meat-eating dinosaurs, OSU researchers say.
“It’s really kind of amazing that after centuries of studying birds and flight we still didn’t understand a basic aspect of bird biology,” said John Ruben, an OSU professor of zoology. “This discovery probably means that birds evolved on a parallel path alongside dinosaurs, starting that process before most dinosaur species even existed.”
I already knew that (Genesis 1).
So. Isn’t that what theories are all about? Until something can be proven, there will always be doubts.
Though in detailing kashrus God mentions “bird” species in Leviticus XI19, then uses the same word “tinshemet” referring to reptilian species in XI30.
I’ve always thought that interesting.
hey, im a died in the wool creationist, this just is fun to point out the moronic theories of evolutionism....
'doubts' doesn't quite cover the constant ridicule if you don't go along with the 'theory' the whole time...
Perhaps you evolved from a more thin-skinned species?
thank you for proving my point.
I had always thought it must of been the other way around; birds to dinosaurs.
From The Jewish Encyclopedia.Com: ( partial, excerpt)
“The tinshemet of Lev. xi. 30 must not be confounded with a bird of the same name mentioned in Lev. xi. 18.”
Thus it appears that tinshemet was a characteristic of both a reptile and a bird that allowed identification as being unclean for food, species not being important.
If evolution allows multicellular organisms to develop from
pond scum, what is so hard about evolving a specifically
fixed joint? Why would that force parallel evolution?
im not saying it would force parallel evolution, they are, they have to say these things to save face....it’s evolutionism uber alles
Birds from dinosaurs (feathery, brightly colored dinosaurs no less) is now a tenet of faith in The Temple of Darwinism so the research, at best, will be ignored.
exactly, ignore, and disparaged, and the researchers reps will probably be besmirches as (gasp) intelligent design freaks, or (screammmm) closet creationists...
Hmm. I'm not aware of this.
But coincidence or none, I love The Bible and science together. Everything is just so much more interesting.
Absolutely! Consider some of the dietary restrictions upon the Mosaic Law and how it promoted good health for those people. Just one example.
cheers!
They probably have subconscious creationist leanings, its the only explanation or perhaps they’ve been tainted by thinking too much.
“I’ve always thought that interesting.”
I can imagine one or the other referring to the flying reptiles, like the pterodactyls.
They are sort of both. Not in our current system of classification, but, to the eye. A bird and a reptile at the same time.
