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 ...
.
as Winterborn stated:Dromaeosaurs such as Deinonychus, the model for the "raptors of Jurassic Park, were fierce predators that used their forearms in a motion that was very similar in unusual ways to the flight stroke of used in birds.
the 747 can't fly??
harmonica at least you do not unlike that other idiot Fort Fun Indiana ha ha. You fail miserably. Your example can't fly and you can't explain how it grew so large.
you fail--miserably

so god can make a man from nothing--but can't make dinos fly??Let me throw harmonica a crumb since he likes to bring religion into science.
"Whatever crawls on its belly, and whatever walks on all fours, whatever has many feet, in respect to every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them, for they are detestable." Leviticus 11:12
Bats are in this category. Otherwise, you can eat a bat to prove God wrong.
Maybe they were gliders.

"How Did Pterosaurs Fly?

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.
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.
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?
Maybe they were gliders.

What you suggest goes against microevolution. Yes, my expert states that all pterosaurs used their superior gliding abilities to fly long distance. However, you assume the pterosaur walks on its hind legs. What if it walked on fours? Many scientists think it walked on fours.
Maybe they were gliders.

JB says god can create anything and every thing--except a dino bird that can fly!!!Maybe they were gliders.

Structurally they are much like bats. Which climb very well, and even live on walls and ceilings. Climbing a cliff at the waters edge would be simple.

How would walking on all fours preclude climbing a cliff?
