What Parrots Tell Us About the Evolution of Birds
GrrlScientist writes "One of the most contentious issues among scientists who study the evolution of birds is identifying precisely when the modern birds (Neornithes) first appeared. This is due to conflicts between the fossil record and molecular dating methodologies. But there is another way to address this discrepancy. Because the evolution of parrots and cockatoos reflects the evolution of the birds (Aves) themselves, studying the psittaciformes offers compelling insights into this mystery. Further, because psittaciformes generally are not migratory and because they tend to occupy discrete ranges, their ancient patterns of diversification are easier to discern than for many other taxonomic orders of birds that have dispersed widely."
My friend had a parrot but I feeded it an Alka-Seltzer and it got real big and puffy and then it fell down and fizzy stuff was coming from its mouth and its butt. It didn't talk again after that.
Why are we still speaking of evolution as if the theory has any remaining validity?
Has it not all but been disproven some time ago?
Although some scientists are desperately holding onto it, and bending any possible evidences to try to fit it into the theory somehow, I think anyone who is honest about it has to admit that evolution is only a small notch above scientology on the scale of these things.
If anyone is reading this and shaking their head because they still think evolution has any truth to it, I can not stress enough the Kent Hovind series @ http://www.bcmin.us/main/?q=node/31 - It starts to get real good at part 2 and 3.
Evolution is total BS. Slashdot should be ashamed for runing an article that blindly assumes evolution actually exists anywhere outside the brainwashing of the textbooks.
