There is just no way around it.

If at NO POINT did a lizard give birth to an egg that hatched into the first bird, then the premise of birds evolving from reptiles is false.

I have no doubt winged lizards can evolve from lizards, but until someone can show us the step of a lizard actually producing a bird egg...

Sounds to me like both sides are relying on "Faith" in this discussion.

Likewise, until someone can show life spontaneously spring forth from primordial goo, the whole chain of events relies on the individuals FAITH that this could actually happen.

Cause no one has ever seen that, and no one can replicate that, hard as they may try.


You can repeat that all you want, it doesn't make you right. IMO, and by the definition i would use, cloning is Intelligent design, literally.

Cloning, by any definition of the word, is science.


How about a little condenscention?

SHOW ME A BIRD COME FROM A LIZARD EGG THAT CAME -NATURALLY- FROM THE BELLY OF A LIZARD.

Until you can show that you are relying on FAITH that it can happen. So far, no one, ever, anywhere, has ever seen that happen.

Period.

You can take on all the superior tones you want, but the fact is, i am right.
Cloning is not intelligent design. It is merely copying of that which already exists.

No the similarities are in their genetic structure. There are similarities between us and apes to. But you disagree with that. You know, I ain't the smartest bloke on the planet but at least I try to educate myself. You trek, just seem to close your eyes and ears and go la la la la la. Do some reading. Seek and ye shall find.

You're really missing the big picture. You don't go straight from lizard to bird. You get between the two with thousands (millions?) of baby steps. So, it's not a lizard that lays a bird egg, it's a species that evolved from a lizard over millions of years that lays the egg and now we call it a bird.

It's like the old "man evolved from apes" thing. Man didn't evolve from apes. Man and apes evolved from some common ancestor a long time ago that was neither a man, nor an ape. Make sense? Apes didn't simply start having human babies any more than a lizard gave birth to a duck.

The fact is, you really don't understand evolution and seem unwilling to try to understand it. I hope that will change. I look forward to the day when you finally have your epiphany.

Nice evasion.

Yes or no: Did birds evolve from lizards?

If the answer is yes, at SOME FINITE POINT, the first bird was born, and it came from a REPTILE EGG.

PERIOD.

You evolutionist KooLAiD drinkers show more faith than catholics do, as far as i'm concerned.

Me: "Where did life birds come from?"

Evolutionist: "They evolved from reptiles"

Me: "So at some point some reptile gave birth to the first bird?"

Evolutionist: "You're so simple minded. You need to read more."

If birds evolved from lizards, at SOME POINT, a FINITE POINT IN TIME, the very first bird came from an egg laid by a lizard.

Period.

If that is not the case, then birds didn't evolve from lizards. Period.

Does this not make sense? There is massive amounts of material evidence that this has occurred.

i think my 12 year understands more about this than you do. I can't believe anyone would think a lizard egg would hatch a full fledged bird. Absurd. So did an ape give birth to a modern human then.

Yeah, i'm gonna read a whole book just to let you avoid answering one simple question.

Please answer my question.

Even better, just admit that no one has ever once observed the moment where a lizard stops becoming a lizard, and in fact becomes a bird.

Man, you have a problem with comprehension..

Look what i said professor:

"At some point, for evolution to be true, a lizard MUST have laid an egg that hatched into a bird. If that DID NOT HAPPEN then Birds DID NOT evolve from lizards.

There may have been a 'million steps' along the way, but at some point some lizard somewhere MUST have laid an egg that hatched into the first bird.

There is just no way around it."

At some point, a critter that was scientifically codifiable as a lizard MUST have laid an egg that gave birth to a NEW SPECIES that was now scientifically codifiable as a bird.

There MUST be a FINITE EVENT when reptile ceased being reptile, and became bird.

I await your (non forthcoming, i am sure) answer.

That is the theory....but no one has ever seen it happen.

I doubt anyone ever will, either.

Whatever the 'common ancester' was, at some point it gave birth or laid eggs that became an entirely new type of critter. Sure there can be 10,000,000 steps, but there must be a finite point in time where the offspring of (for instance) some reptiles somewhere ceased being reptiles, and became birds.

If your next planned response is an insult, save yourself the time, and don't even respond.

Do you realize your response to dewolf was an insult to trekkor? I'm hopeful that that was unintended.

.
How about many 'codifiable' species along the way. Not just suddenly a bird appears. Is it to hard for you to comprehend the many facets of change required for this?
