@robinsonray6766
@robinsonray6766 Жыл бұрын
Pterosaurs, and dinosaurs in the theropoda and sauropoda clade all had the same method of breathing, so they all had phenomenal stamina. Other dinosaurs [ornithischians] and crocodilomorphs [including todays crocodiles] all have the same breathing method but with no airsac. Yes: crocodiles have extremely efficient respiration. For this reason it is believed that the ancestors of crocodiles {from the triassic} were warm blooded terrestrial animals. Another characteristic that points to this is that crocodiles are the only ''cold blooded'' animals with a 4 chambered heart. Aside from crocodiles, only birds and mammals have 4 chambered hearts.

Excellent video! Although I do have a correction for the section that compares the leg segments of insects, crustaceans, and "arthropods" represented by the horseshoe crab. This comparison is confusing, because both insects and crustaceans *belong* to the phylum Arthropoda. For the horseshoe crab, they are members of the subphylum Chelicerata (which includes arachnids, and also belongs to Arthropoda). I believe the video's creator meant to compare the legs of insects, crustaceans to those of more basal arthropods? Or to those of Chelicerates. Second correction: birds are still dinosaurs, nothing has stopped them from being dinosaurs. The asteroid did not kill all dinosaurs, but neither did it spare all birds as seen with the extinction of Enantiornithes (the 'Opposite Birds'). :)

Insects, crustaceans, myriapods, and horseshoe crabs are all arthropods. Horseshoe crabs, along with arachnids and sea spiders are in a clade called Chelicerata. And at 1:53, the family tree shows bats being closely related to rodents, and more related to primates than they are to dogs and horses. Primates and rodents are Euarchontoglires more related to eachother than to bats. Bats are in the clade Laurasiatheria, and are a sister group to Ferungulata (a group that includes hooved animals, whales, carnivorans like cats and dogs, and pangolins)

I've always loved the anatomy of Pterosaurian wings. The idea that their entire wing membrane was supported on just one finger is fascinating. Not to mention that it allowed for their hands to continue existing separate from the wings, which is the leading theory on why they evolved to be so much bigger than birds and bats; the Quad Launch theory. I wish they still existed, they were fascinating and unique animals :)

EVOLUTION designed this?? A basic summary of what that means... In the beginning was nothing but then it somehow became as big as the universe. Then there was dirt and water but then somehow it became alive. Then there was an organism but somehow it had the structure and information to reproduce. Then one decided to be a male and somehow another organism became female and somehow at the same time, with fully functioning structure and information, they reproduced. Then they grew branches, then arms, then fins, then legs, then wings, and breathed water and then air and now we see them all perfectly mutated to flourish in their ecosystems! Seriously, Have you considered how a butterfly came to be? What came first, the egg? caterpillar? chrysalis? butterfly? What mutation could cause a crawling creature to suddenly hang upside down, dissolve its organs and appendages and 2 weeks later emerge as a flying creature? And then find another butterfly to reproduce? Truly a fairy tale! How did the grub get these incredible organs? Mutations don't give new information, they corrupt existing information. It is glaringly obvious we are part of creation. The world around us is so incredibly complex that design is the obvious, logical and scientific conclusion. Jesus was a real historical figure who claimed to be God. He also confirmed that he created the world and was coming back a second time to reward and judge the world. He proved this by rising from the dead and fulfilling many prophecies. He also foretold what would happen before he would come again. These things have been coming to pass more and more. He loves his creation and has a purpose for everyone of us! But the evil we see in the world is not from God. We have a cruel enemy and you can see the devil's handiwork more and more. Please look into this urgently and with honesty. God is not a policeman in the sky, nor is he a genie that grants wishes, he is a loving Father who is caring and merciful and rewards those who seek him. Do not decide who God is by looking at religious people, you must decide who God is by reading what he says about himself in the bible. Then you would have judged fairly. Start with John or Luke. These are eyewitness accounts of what Jesus said and did. There are many resources to answer your many questions. Especially on creation and evolution see creationdotcom. Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55) For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20) To realise that your life is precious, you are loved, and you have a purpose, is real freedom and responsibility. There is an epic heavenly battle for your soul! You're never alone, reach out from wherever you are, Jesus is there, trust Him.

@JesseP.Watson
@JesseP.Watson Жыл бұрын
Interesting point, so rather than developing flight, in their case it may have been more a question of a means to control flight. With that said, to be quite honest, I do think there is something missing in the theory of evolution as it currently stands, much as I try, I find there are just too many cases where an incomplete mutation will give no advantage or actually act as a hindrance against selection and no more so than in development of the wing. Add to that the behavioural changes that must accompany those physical mutations and, aye, there's just too many very serious issues there without any satisfying answer for us to be able to treat evolution as a working theory that describes how species are created in its current form.

I remember in one of the old Ratchet and Clank games, one of the planets has flying whales. At first I kinda laughed at how ridiculous it was, but after I thought about it for a minute I was like hold on..... I guess that could actually be possible, on a planet that has an atmosphere with the same viscosity as water on earth.

EVOLUTION designed this?? A basic summary of what that means... In the beginning was nothing but then it somehow became as big as the universe. Then there was dirt and water but then somehow it became alive. Then there was an organism but somehow it had the structure and information to reproduce. Then one decided to be a male and somehow another organism became female and somehow at the same time, with fully functioning structure and information, they reproduced. Then they grew branches, then arms, then fins, then legs, then wings, and breathed water and then air and now we see them all perfectly mutated to flourish in their ecosystems! Seriously, Have you considered how a butterfly came to be? What came first, the egg? caterpillar? chrysalis? butterfly? What mutation could cause a crawling creature to suddenly hang upside down, dissolve its organs and appendages and 2 weeks later emerge as a flying creature? And then find another butterfly to reproduce? Truly a fairy tale! How did the grub get these incredible organs? Mutations don't give new information, they corrupt existing information. It is glaringly obvious we are part of creation. The world around us is so incredibly complex that design is the obvious, logical and scientific conclusion. Jesus was a real historical figure who claimed to be God. He also confirmed that he created the world and was coming back a second time to reward and judge the world. He proved this by rising from the dead and fulfilling many prophecies. He also foretold what would happen before he would come again. These things have been coming to pass more and more. He loves his creation and has a purpose for everyone of us! But the evil we see in the world is not from God. We have a cruel enemy and you can see the devil's handiwork more and more. Please look into this urgently and with honesty. God is not a policeman in the sky, nor is he a genie that grants wishes, he is a loving Father who is caring and merciful and rewards those who seek him. Do not decide who God is by looking at religious people, you must decide who God is by reading what he says about himself in the bible. Then you would have judged fairly. Start with John or Luke. These are eyewitness accounts of what Jesus said and did. There are many resources to answer your many questions. Especially on creation and evolution see creationdotcom. Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55) For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:20) To realise that your life is precious, you are loved, and you have a purpose, is real freedom and responsibility. There is an epic heavenly battle for your soul! You're never alone, reach out from wherever you are, Jesus is there, trust Him.

Fascinating content, but it also makes me grateful I’m not an archaeologist or paleontologist. It seems that all of our best hypotheses for most creatures’ origins necessarily rely on correlation implying causation and are fully vulnerable to survivorship bias. It might be the best we could do in those particular fields for now, but I’d find that insanely frustrating.

@@FreedomAnderson I don't remember the specific parts of the video, but defects, which the early forms of adaptation would be, would usually be eliminated from a population, rather than proliferated. The assumption that the theory of evolution makes is that every single micro mutation had to be beneficial, which I don't believe to be possible. Also, evolution is also studied as fact rather than what it is, a theory - so a lot of inductive reasoning is used. It's like a detective who assumes someone committed a crime and only looking for facts that confirm their assumption. I know microevolution happens, but macroevolution leaves me skeptical.

@@Last6_Months "evolution is also studied as fact rather than what it is, a theory" Evolution is both a fact and a theory, they arent exclusive terms. Evolution is the phenomenon that we factually know has occured, and the theory of evolution is the mechanism and esplanation for that phenomenon. The theory of gravitation doesnt mean that gravity's existence is some unproven assumption.

Being a geologist and hobby palaeontologist for >30 years now,, my interest always was the evolution of the feather and then flight. I have never been able to see any sense in the running-flapping-takeoff-theory. Evolution usually doesn't go the hard way. So, it was always the tree down theory, that made far more sense to me. Feathers surely did not start as aerodynamic flight feathers, but first there were filament feathers, that then split up and became downs", that made a very good thermal insulation, esp. for younger and smaller animals. Problem obviou"sly was, that dinosaurs did not only live in desert like environments, but also in much higher humidities. And, although downs also give some thermal insulation when wet, dry down works way better. So, over time, the reptiles developed cover feathers, even learned to make them more waterproof by covering them with fat. And, as best method to cover a body and still have some reserves for movement, the shindle-like layer worked best. This meant, that the cover feathers had to become asymmetric and which then lead to the development of flight feathers. That is, how I still see it...
