Evolution.

[Tenchu]

After people were so anti evolution in another thread, I have used my smarts to try and figure an evolution chain with no holes whatsoever that makes one species into a completely new one.

The two animals at hand is the evolution of dinosaurs into birds.

I am going through the link of raptors into birds.

Raptors have bird like behaviour, and also grew feathers in later links.

You must respect the essence of my project, the cretacious period was pre 65 million years ago, and raptors started in the jurassic some 120 million years ago. Info from the mesozoic period is scetchy, but I think I have collected enough types of species to make the links seem resonable.

There are too many pics for one post, so the links will all be made on different posts.

Please tell me when I have finished posting if you think the evidence is conclusive or not.

Here we go:

Raptor:

There is many kinds of raptors, and they are famous in movies. And they are also very interesting.

Raptors in later periods grew feathers, and their nesting habits were more bird like than any other creature.

Here is the raptor:







Unlike the popular version in Jurassic park, which is a very unrealistic movie, the velociraptor was feathered.

I believe in the concept of evolution
Religious weirdos don't believe it, and try to say that "god" created everything.

Oh, one more thing. This is a myth, but in Mayan legend, there is a dinosaur/repltilian dragon thingy god or creature that had feathers and flew.

Oviraptor:

Raptors had many cousins, it was a big family. You know they were related due to the similar features. The bones and claws are the same. Size is quite irrelevant though, isolation can change size of animals and even people in very short times. The Oviraptor was larger than many raptors.

Here it is:







You can see, this later version of a raptor is got a beak, like a bird. And also is much more feathered and its feet are more bird like by the millenium!

This pic is interesting:



It is retard to the untrained eye, but what it is is a oviraptor nesting its eggs in the same way an ostrich does...

I think there's a sufficient amount of scientific evidence supporting evolution.
I don't believe in "god" either
I can't believe evolution was actually banned in many schools in southern states. Evolution was completely struck down during the scopes or monkey trials.
