Let’s just watch:

Notice, just the flapping, using gears and links [far simpler than the real bird]:

Amazing. END

And enable one of the penumbra of attack sites?! Not on my watch. :)Ford Prefect_{April 13, 2023

FP@ 5: The old personal incredulity trope. Channel Dawkins much? An attempt to stop debate. Why don't you describe the naturalistic, designerless evolution of the flight mechanism in birds, instead? Show your work. Lame.AnimatedDust_{April 12, 2023

FP at 5, This has nothing to do with personal incredulity. It has to do with the very easy to prove observation that a living thing consists of incredibly complex cells that carry out precise functions that keep it alive and allow it to reproduce. But here, this very valid observation is ignored or denied.relatd_{April 10, 2023

I must have missed the lessons on personal incredulity as a scientific tool in my science classes.Ford Prefect_{April 10, 2023

Relatd, you are right, notice this research effort and their results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46AFUxm3mMI KFkairosfocus_{April 10, 2023

Years ago, I saw a toy bird take flight. It was quite good. It looked realistic. Those who think such things as birds appeared by accident are quite wrong. The engineering involved is quite complex.relatd_{April 10, 2023
