By the way there are books written on the historicity of Jesus. Try reading one. Follow it with CS Lewis. Mete Christianity

This idea originated from a tree seed?

It originated from something GOD designed

Umm, tvtropes.com is not a website for scientific or philosophical arguments, it’s a site listing commonly used “tropes” by fiction writers.

Umm, I know.

I'm pointing out that you folks are (unknowingly) acting out tropes.

Which is a meaningless point to make in a philosophical or scientific argument.

There are species that have more than two sexes, for instance. And some vertebrate species that once had two sexes have reverted to parthenogenesis ("Virgin Birth") - the males have simply ceased to exist! Etc.

Well then educate me. Name names.

(This is like asking, "If John Booth assassinated President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1789, why didn't his Vice President, Thomas E. Dewey, immediately ascend to the presidency? That makes no sense!")

Please stop quoting Joe Biden on this thread. /C'mon, man!>

Btw, the “tree seed” as you described had nothing to do with the initial concept and design of the helicopter.

Whoops☺

So you are saying that nowhere along the line of development of the helicopter did anyone observer, study or consider the properties of the maple seed natures most excellent example of autorotation? Seem odd to me but I will take your word for it, but in my defense I was apparently gave those engineers and developers more foresight than they earned

As I said I will take your word for it. I trust you have no reason to lie about it. As I said I am completely baffled as to the why of it as it is an excelled natural practical example of auto rotation. It seems to me that such a develop drive by nature would in itself be worthy of study

I was confident it wasn’t related and to be sure I looked it up prior to commenting. Btw, I agree and I’m confident any plant matter that rotates or slows itself as it falls probably has been studied at length.

"I’m confident any plant matter that rotates or slows itself as it falls probably has been studied at length."
That being the case one would think that by study such a natural phenomenon that they would be a great deal of practical data with would be both apical and relevant to the development of a vehicle using the same basic principals. thank you for the information

Boogieman: Which is a meaningless point to make in a philosophical or scientific argument.

A great many literary tropes are excellent illustrations of fallacious reasoning.

"Intelligent Design" a.k.a. "A Wizard Did It!" is just another dodge or evasion.

I can solve any philosophical or scientific problem if, in the course of expounding upon my solution to my learned audience, I am allowed, at any point, to cry, "And here, a MIRACLE happens!"

It is the lazy man's "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

Huh?! You mean to say that you entered into this discussion, and started making bold claims, before doing your homework?!

A couple of quick Google searches will provide you with all the scientific articles on "species with more than two sexes" and "examples of parthenogenesis in animals" that you could possibly want!
