...."evidence?" Universally heralded as the one great "link" between all birds and reptiles is Archaeopteryx. Here is how evolutionists imagine Archaeopteryx may have been preserved as a fossil.
Imagine, says an ornithologist "a strange birdlike creature the size of a crow" gliding over an
ancient Bavarian lake.
"Or was it more reptile-like? We cannot be sure," continues the story- for "it appeared to have some of the features of both reptiles AND birds.
"Suddenly," goes the dramatic tale, "our birdlike
creature, with its feeble powers of flight, was
unable to cope with a sharp gust of wind and fell into the shallow waters below and drowned."
(Biology of Birds, Wesley Lanyon, page 1).
Evolutionists admit they must SPECULATE about the origin of birds. But they insist that the layman need not even question the validity of their theories!
Notice! "In attempting to reconstruct the early evolutionary history of many groups of animals a certain element of judicious speculation ... may be a valuable weapon" (Evolution, ed. by De
Beer, p. 321).
In most books on the subject, authors first
admit they are making "educated guesses," and
then follow with a broad, all-inclusive, sweeping
statement that such and such DID POSITIVELY
OCCUR!
They have already decided, on sheer faith, that birds evolved from reptiles! So they seem to imply: "Even though I must guess, imagine and speculate- you must assume my theory is so CORRECT that you needn't bother even thinking about it!"
But if our myriads of birds evolved from slimy
reptiles, is there any REAL fossil EVIDENCE of a
part-bird, part-reptile? Is there such a thing as a
HALF-scale, HALF-feather found?
The fossil "record" concerning the hazy
hypothesis that supposes birds came from reptiles
is much like dozens of feet of missing film! Where
are all the many HUNDREDS of VERY DIFFERENT creatures which would have represented the INTERMEDIATE stages of development?
And remember, IF these notions of evolution
could possibly be true - these "intermediate"
stages would be NOWHERE NEAR so well equipped to survive as the "fully developed" ones. That means that if it took only a "sharp gust" to bring down Archaeopteryx, his imaginary ancestors would have been falling out of the skies like bricks! And the fossil record, therefore, would contain FAR MORE "INTERMEDIATE" species than it does of the ones which were supposedly "better equipped" to survive!
But there ARE no "intermediate" species!
....yeah, you got TON'S of evidence!
