How Did Pterosaurs Fly? They Were Too Big And Too Heavy.

[james bond]

So according to Creationcysts like James Bond.. "god" Must have created a creature with Giant Wings that couldn't fly.. and would also then be unwieldly and and undefendable on the ground.
RIGHT JAMES?
Yet they lived for 100 million years! - Hmm
I guess they indeed flew.
Does JB look for an explanation for his 2008 article?
No.
He's a Blind believer, and and just wants to throw science in doubt.
Me?
I look and learn.
Creationists, though, are Willfully Stupid.

This is S&T forum. Not religion and Christian. I can only surmise you must be worried greatly about ending up spiritually dead and facing Jesus and the lake of fire.

(^;
If You don't believe in evolution, and you don't, you believe in Creationism.
Then YOU also believe god created a laughable nonviable monstrosity.
Of course, and again, that obviously isn't the case considering the span of time they lived for.
No answer
You lost.

Part of this article verifies what I have said that it was impossible for them to fly...

Yes I Bolded That part so I could give other points of view with more context from the Wiki entry.
IOW, Wiki mentions it/him, it Doesn't "verify" the author's contention.
At best you're left with what I just said above.
A "god-created"-non-viable creature.

Thus, the atheist abu has failed in actually explaining and it's due to his stupidity.

On the contrary
I gave a few points of view on the issue.
We analytically thinking people don't claim we know everything/everything yet.
The full mechanics of Ptero-flight aren't yet 100% understood.
While Dishonest/in-Denial/LowIQ godists like you say "Goddidit" for everything they don't understand.
IOW...
You tried to post - but Botched - the usual "God of the Gaps" FALLACY.
That being, assigning god to anything you can't understand.
Just as your ignorant predecessors did to Fire, Lightning, fertility, etc, x10,000.

But in this case you Porked yourself, and impeached the whole ID idea by assigning STUPID, non-viable, design to god in your usual Low IQ way just to throw some nebulous dirt at 'science.'

Really, this is the single dumbest attempt at refuting evolution in favor of god/creationism I've ever seen.
`

Creation science thinks they know, but the evo scientists do not get it. Gravity was much less in the ancient times, relatively speaking, and that's how land dwelling humans and dinosaurs grew so large. I think Mark Witton and Mike Habib think along those same lines. They mention today's scientists think atmosphere density and gravity are constants, but are willing to consider it was different in the past.

Gravity was far less?

Now we are entering bizarro land

Why would a change to atmospheric density and gravity be bizarro? Earth's atmosphere is held in place by gravity.

When I was a kid they said they didn't know how bees flew. Ignorance doesn't stop something from happening.

So, do you know how bees fly now? Or is it still, you do not know?

Your statement is one of the worst statements made in the history of humankind. Ignorance due to evolution is causing the truth of creation and creation science to be left out. Ignorance means we take the time to find out.

Truth of creation? Really? We're on to fantasy stories now are we?

Ha ha. You didn't answer my question about how bees fly, so will put you down as still ignorant.

Along with attribution for the worst statement in the history of humankind.

Perhaps, you're not even qualified to judge the truth of creation and creation science even though most laymen can.

Earth's atmosphere is made up of several gases. They each have their own density. The relative amounts of each gas has changed over the history of the Earth. So the density of the atmosphere has changed. That has been proven and recorded.

Gravity is a function of the mass of the planet and the Earth's rotation. This has not changed. Gravity was not significantly lighter only a few thousand years ago.

We have fossils of them existing. The question is how they could fly? It's a question that has stumped scientists for years.

The same has been said about the bumble bee. Sometimes Science just gets it wrong.

The experts Witton and Habib state that even with the "same" gravity as today, the creatures still would be able to fly. Why have wings like bats and light bone structure if they could not fly? We have reports from people today that they fly. There's even a civil war picture that shows soldiers with one of them. I think they are living fossils and are capable of flight even in today's heavier gravity and larger earth.

The expanding earth theory was all the rage hundreds of years ago. But Plate Techtonics explain the jigsaw puzzle look of the continents.

Expanding earth theories are not taken seriously by most scientists. There is no mechanism of action. No measurements that can be shown. And the only real evidence is the fact that the continents would fit together if moved. But the break up of Pangea can be more easily explained by plate techtonics. And there is verifiable evidence that the Earth's crust is floating on semi-molten rock. And there is measurable movement in the Earth plates.

[BlackSand]

What was the point of walking high into the mountains then? Gliding?

They seem to be built for flight and there is evidence of them flying long distances.

Uh ... If there is actual evidence of them "flying long distances" ...
Then it makes no difference too argue the idea of whether or not they can fly.

It might be a good idea to ask the professor how many flying reptiles he studied.
The quickest way to tell the difference in a bat and bird in the sky ... Is how it flies, they don't fly the same ...

"How Did Pterosaurs Fly?

Visit the exhibition to experiment with principles of pterosaur aerodynamics in an interactive virtual tunnel.

© AMNH/D. Finnin


Flight allowed pterosaurs to travel long distances, exploit new habitats, escape predators, and swoop down from above to seize their prey. They spread across the world and branched out into an enormous array of species, including the largest animals ever to take wing."

Yet, other scientists believe they were too big to fly due to physics. I think it's been agreed that they were the largest animals to fly.

Pterosaurs should have been too big to fly – so how did they manage it?

What was the point of walking high into mountains and then gliding? More likely they climbed cliffs to gain the vantage point from which to launch.

The point? Food. From directly above you can see fish and other creatures that live underwater. Glide, Dive, Eat, Repeat.

Now we are entering bizarro land

Why would a change to atmospheric density and gravity be bizarro? Earth's atmosphere is held in place by gravity.

Earth's atmosphere is made up of several gases. They each have their own density. The relative amounts of each gas has changed over the history of the Earth. So the density of the atmosphere has changed. That has been proven and recorded.

Gravity is a function of the mass of the planet and the Earth's rotation. This has not changed. Gravity was not significantly lighter only a few thousand years ago.

I disagree that gravity has not changed. The earth was smaller and thus the gravity less in ancient times, relatively speaking. We have the expanding earth theory.

The experts Witton and Habib state that even with the "same" gravity as today, the creatures still would be able to fly. Why have wings like bats and light bone structure if they could not fly? We have reports from people today that they fly. There's even a civil war picture that shows soldiers with one of them. I think they are living fossils and are capable of flight even in today's heavier gravity and larger earth.

The expanding earth theory was all the rage hundreds of years ago. But Plate Techtonics explain the jigsaw puzzle look of the continents.

Expanding earth theories are not taken seriously by most scientists. There is no mechanism of action. No measurements that can be shown. And the only real evidence is the fact that the continents would fit together if moved. But the break up of Pangea can be more easily explained by plate techtonics. And there is verifiable evidence that the Earth's crust is floating on semi-molten rock. And there is measurable movement in the Earth plates.

Okay, if the earth did not expand, then how do you explain the giganticism and how the largest pterosaur flew? What caused the atmosphere to be less dense?

too heavy???!!!!!!
a 747 is 910,000 lbs..................!!!!!
pteranodon weight: 55lbs
I've said this before--how can a 910,000 lb airplane fly?
in 1800 if you told someone that a 910.00 lb plane could fly, they would haul you off to the rubber room
if a 910,000 lb airplane is not too heavy--surely a 55 lb ''thing'' is not!!!!!!!!!

too big?
