Oldest Known Scorpion Tells a Lot about Science and Speculation: Much Promised, Little Delivered
by Jerry Bergman, PhD
In searching for data on the evolution of body organs and structures, one of the best sources is small organisms trapped in amber. Every now and then, though, fossilized creatures in rock contain soft tissue impressions, revealing evidence of organs or organ structures. The evidence is often indirect. Recently, paleontologists found what they call the oldest known scorpion ever uncovered: two fossil specimens of a scorpion named Parioscorpio venator. They claim it shows evidence of a respiratory system that functioned in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. This story gives us an opportunity to separate science from unbridled speculation.[1]

Dr. Bergman is talking about a different kind of Scorpion....
No One Like You was one of my favorite rock songs in my teens.
I always liked the unintelligible scream during the guitar solo.
lol
I LOVE that solo.
As the oldest known Scorpion I’m impressed that Klaus Meine has made a significant contribution to science!
A few hundred million years ago, some scorpions were over six feet long - and likely dangerous.
Articles in creationist journals: 600+
Articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals: zero.
Accomplished at the Gish Gallop, and at redefining words to suit his purposes.
It didn't go well.
from the court ruling: He stated that Dr. Bergman said he was a psychologist when he had no psychological credentials.
Dr. Wiersma indicated difficulty in documenting the actual existence of plaintiff's books.
Dr. Siefert, Dr. Yonker, Dr. Davidson, Dr. Rurke, and Dr. Wiersma, for example, all testified to their negative impressions of plaintiff's work.
Thanks for playing.

Now I know who did that song. I’ve heard it a million times.
Great song.
From the CREVO article: “It had “respiratory and circulatory systems … almost identical to those of our modern-day scorpions.”
From the article in the Ohio State News: ““The inner workings of the respiratory-circulatory system in this animal are, shape-wise, identical to those of the arachnids and scorpions that breathe air exclusively,” Babcock said. “But it also is incredibly similar to what we recognize in marine arthropods like horseshoe crabs.
From the original article in Nature: “Neither book lungs nor book gills are evident on the fossil.” “In extant scorpions, the pulmo-pericardial sinuses connect the book lungs with the circulatory system.”
Generally, it’s a good idea to go to the original source.
If they evolve and develop wings, I'd be very worried.
