No bridge was ever built with girders like this! The bones in our bodies aren’t just strong and flexible, they’re constantly building and repairing themselves.

Bones serve three kinds of critically important functions in our body—mechanical functions, maintenance of mineral levels, and blood production...

Ping!
“Bones serve three kinds of critically important functions in our body—mechanical functions, maintenance of mineral levels, and blood production...”
Actually, they serve ten main functions.
Our amazing body...
Perhaps this will help you relize why it is necessary to demineralize even modern bones to get at the soft tissue inside.
List them.
A description of bones taught decades ago is news?
Define "List".
Hmmm...I wonder what the difference between critical functions and main functions? Why don’t you list the ten main functions to see if we can figure it out.
Well seeing how Dr. Menton was an Associate Professor of Anatomy at Washington University School of Medicine from 1966-2000, and has served as an Associate Professor Emeritus of Anatomy at that same institution ever since, I think it’s safe to say that he is current on the subject.
Edited to add. It gets worse and I can’t believe I forgot to add it. Nevermind the rhetoric, Menton (who is an anatomy professor! states: “Finally, no fish (including Tiktaalik) has true finger or toe bones. Instead, fish have slender bony fin rays, which even evolutionists concede are not homologous or related in any way to digits”. Rays are not in the place of digits. Rays are dermal bone, they develop in the skin like scales and skull bones. Thus, they are in the skin and form a “sandwich” over the internal, or endochonrdral/cartilage, skeleton. Digits are part of this internal skeleton. You cannot have “rays instead of digits”. You may have one and not the other, but neither takes the other’s anatomical place. Coming from an anatomist, this statement demonstrates first-rate incompetence. Tiktaalik does have jointed radials, a feature which is typically only in lobe-finned fishes. These are endochondral bones. Whether or not they are homologous to digits is a question of ongoing investigation which will require more fossils and involves gene expression work in lungishes.End of edit

List:
Either Null {That is, the empty list}
XOR
An Item, followed by another list.
For example, you might implement a list in Pascal as follows:
Type
PList : ^Tlist; {A pointer to a string-list.}
TList : record {A string-list.}
Data : String;
Next : PList;
end; {record}
Procedure Empty( var List : PList );
var current : PList;
begin
if List <> nil then
begin
current:= list^.Next;
if current <> nil then Empty( current );
end;
Dispose(List);
end;
Procedure Add(Item: String; var List: PList);
begin
if List = nil then
begin
New( List );
List^.Data:= Item;
List^.Next:= nil
end
else
Add( Item, List^.Next );
end;
Yes, I am well aware that your fellow evo-atheists are extremely angry that Creation and ID scientists are blowing the lid off the Temple of Darwin’s unscientific, evo-religious creation myth.
A cold front is coming to Texas... my knee hurts
My left hind leg doesn’t fall asleep anymore, thanks to surgery....in a bad way....
Apparently you have a reading or comprehension problem.
God is the Intelligent Designer.
I am not angry at all. Please show one post of mine that supports your hypothesis that I am angry, much less EXTREMELY angry.
