| Dr.Grass said: Ok, so go speak to a statistician. I have. (Accepting the whole current model of evolution) What are the odds of flight evolving just once!? VERY VERY SLIM. Let's say it's at 1/100000000 which is generous. Then the chance of it evolving 4 times is: 1/100000000000000000000000000000000. Some of the comments were ridiculous and even wore: Supportive of each other. |
You call peole's posts ridiculous, yet you take the liberty to make horribly ignorant remarks and while making up meaningless numbers.
Want to know how flight evolved? Start with the flying squirrel, who doesnt actually fly but uses is arms and skin to glide. Birds started out in the same way, they had a slight advantage when they could glide from one place to another, and as their skin became more adequate for flying and their bones became lighter, they were eventually able to fly.
The number you made up, or some bonehead that calls himself a statistician made up, is entirely meaningless. DNA mutations happen all the time, and over millions of years these small mutations that gave the specie a small advantage pile up.
