Quick everyone- Nat-Geo is showing their premier “Morphed” series- Right now, we’re ‘learning’ all about how dinos ev0olved into birds- Up next “When whales had legs”

Seems ‘around 208 million years ago’ undersea volcanos erupted releasing methane gas, and dropping Oxygen levels to 12% - wiping out m ost dinos.

Can’t wait for Nat-Geo’s series on how metainformaiton got it’s start- Bet that’ll be an interesting tale.

Here’s the story so far:

The ‘eoraptor’ about 3 feet tall, (Precursor to the modern turkey we’re told) Survives the massives methane/oxygen reduction, whilel iving on a planet with no vegetation (and apparently a lot of other dinos like diploticus, at 160 feet long)(Interesting how we’re not told what these giants supposedly evolved from- it’s just taken for granted that they ‘must have’ evovled from earlier species)(Don’t ask quesitons sir- just keep mouth shut and listen to the story)- the two continiinents had just split apart, causing massive flooding, the earth warms up, and vegetation sprout out of nowhere apparently- covering hte earth

Monilithosaurus has... get ready for it... An advanced brain, three forward looking toes, arms, and bones that are hollow- “Much like the modern turkey” who has “Three toes, a ‘sharp beak’, and can run 20 miles and hour” (How we go from the 3 foot tall species to the monilothesaurus is beyond me, Just reporting the facts as stated by NatGoe)

Millions of years later- Monilithosaurus evolved into velociraptor (Who nat geo has covered head to toe in feathers)

woops- now we go back in time again- Velociraptor is now relaterd to a ‘dinosaur that flew’- the microraptor gui-ia(Sp?) which ‘might be the precursor to the modern turkey “If it can fly”.

Next, microraptor “In order to survive ‘being eaten’” Climb into trees and glides fro mtree to tree- “Just liek hte modern turkey” (Apparently, the 1000’s of other small ground dwellers didn’t ‘need to evolve’ wings and escape to hte trees- ONLY the microraptor did evidnetly)

“We know flight evovled in stages- the hsow then moves to a modern possum that glides, and states “They live in trees ‘just like’ microrapters”

but now the quesiton becomes “Why woudl micro launch itself into the air “The answers is si8mple” We’re assured by natgeo “To catch insects” (Carion was no longer available to it evidently,- but was available to every other land dweller obviously- it’s just the microraptor which ‘couldn’t make it’ in the ground anymore) (Hey, ‘need spurs evolution’ hmmm- funny how need instructs the geentic info that the species ‘needed to fly’, and htus one ‘helpful mutaiton after another’ magically occured- but hey- that’s another story)

Cue Archeoptryx- the first ‘true bird’ acording to nat geo

“Here is ‘hard evidence’ of the theory of Charles Darwin- that one species can evovle into another.”

Not ogign any further but you get the idea- Notice any gaps in the story? This is hte crap they are teachign our kids- and leaving out FACTS liek hte ‘feathers’ discovered on dinos aren’t infact feathers, but are modified scales- a much different composition and structure than feathers- Bah- We’ll just keep that info behind closed doors-

Lot’s of peopel are goign to be watchign Nat Geo’s ‘Morphed” series, and probably won’t take time to quesiton the HUGE gaps- but where were these species gettign their higher info from? When did the dinos get the info to evovle avian lungs, avian nasal passages, avain wishbones, avain sturnums to support the large breast flight muscles that dinos lacked? Etc etc etc? Is there any evidence backign Nat Geo’s huge gap-filled claims up? Nope- just conjecture and assumptions.

Ugggh- The look on the paleantologists face when he saw the archeoptryx fossil for first time was somethign else- “Obviously dinos evolved into birds” he stated. (After all folks, don’t forget, some dinos had three forward facing toes, hollow bones, were warm blooded, and had ‘Feathers’ (Which weren’t feathers) and one palentogologist felt some ‘bumps’ on a velociraptor arm bone.- and because ‘all’ these thigns resemble birds, that means incredible vast networks of metainfo helped to self assemble all the needed structures once mutations evolved them in the proper orders over millions of years (
