Scientists get a better picture of how reptles lost their limbs...

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Evolution is still just man making a monkey of himself.

Or, as all the most intelligent and educated people on the planet know it: the most robust scientific theory in history and a triumph of the human intellect.

 

[Calypso Jones]

naaaah..they didn't become snakes. The scifi-entist is wanting to claim a transition...and unfortunately...this critter they found and use is an amphibian. This is a lot of mumbo jumbo trying to bolster the belief in evolution over creationism.

Can there be anything as silly to believe than the notion that snakes once had legs??

Some constrictors have vestigial legs even today. Not silly at all.

Here is a general tip for the resident madrassah and Facebook educated goobers:

When scientists get excited about something and say it reveals knowledge -- but you are sitting there, wallowing in ignorance, scratching your head, wondering aloud what is so important about it. --

....it might be because you have no idea what you are talking about and are utterly ignorant.

That should be the very next thought that crosses your minds.

"Hmm, maybe the people who have dedicated their lives to studying this topic know more than a Sunday school educated buffoon."

Seriously, try it.

It doesn't look like what they're saying. Your atheist or evolution scientists are like bad comedians. We lol after they are booed, embarrassed and forced off the stage lol.

Shaman Calypso has spoken! Trust his colon this time!

Nobody cares about your divine declarations, shaman.

Not as silly as being an uneducated slob who thinks he just outsmarted the global scientific community...

Ah, frustrated trolls and their fake LOLs. They always make me smile.

I see ya smilin. And what a sweet smile it is.

There are no vestigial parts. That's an evolution/atheist/ags FALLACY.

For example, if you remove your appendix, then one loses an organ where beneficial bacteria was stored. Those who lose their appendix are not able to heal and recovers as well as those who didn't.

Curious to know what the purpose is of your appendix? Your appendix isn’t just a waste of space. It works with your immune system to keep you healthy and your gut happy

I remember the thread below. Whoever started it should be tarred and feathered and run out of town!

More Strong Evidence for Evolution: Anatomical Vestiges

Another Evidence of Evolution. Just part of an Overwhelming body of such. One rarely mentioned but very telling. Life can be traced to a continuum, with many creatures, including us, having anatomical vestiges of our evolutionary ancestors. An 'immaculate creation' event wouldn't leave useless...

Snake-like fossil lacking forelimbs but with hind limbs may represent transitional evolution

A trio of researchers with the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, the University of Calgary and Carleton University, respectively, has found a snake-like fossil that may represent a creature in transition from four legs to none. In their paper published in the journal...

phys-org.cdn.ampproject.org

By this time, the hind limbs were also becoming all but useless in these species. Models that used that energy elsewhere or not at all came to dominate (leading to reduction in the hind limbs as well).

Not surprisingly, this fossil find was predicted by evolutionary biologists.

They base this on one deformed lizard or a deformed snake? That's science? Sounds more like wishful thinking or belief.

Yes, there ARE vestigial parts. Some snakes have bones of vestigial legs that do not even show outside their skin. To claim they do not is ridiculous.

There are NO VESTIGIAL parts on humans or any other biological creature. The atheist/evolution scientists are wrong. You're welcome to trust abu afak and get your appendix removed, but I would try to keep them as he's SAF. I'd only remove them as a last resort.

Yes there are. The vestigial limbs in some snakes are not only where legs would be, they are structurally built like legs, including the feet. Do a Google search and you can find pictures.

The appendix nonsense is just an attempt at derailling. And no one with any sense gets their appendix removed unless it is about to burst. And in that case, it is a matter of life & death.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

They base this on one deformed lizard or a deformed snake?

Almost certainly not deformed, for reasons already mentioned. Please pay attention.

And they aren't basing anything on it, except the idea that, possibly, the forelimbs in the snakes' common ancestors were lost first, as the locomotion that became slithering developed.

So you are off base, as always.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Also, reptiless without forelimbs are predicted by evolutionary biologists. It's very simple:

The slithering mode of locomotion is initiated by the head/forebody of the snake.

Therefore, the need for forelimbs would be reduced first. Selective pressures would then tend to favor models where forelimbs are not formed and the energy of forming and maintaining them is used elsewhere or not at all.

Give it time, and voila... we find what was predicted.

There are 100s of such examples.

Note the "Fuzzy Word," "possibly." You evolutionists are filled with fuzzy words. Nothing proven. Just conjecture and guessing. So, here are some questions:
How were the legs lost?
How did anyone substantiate the legs were lost?
If snakes evolved from lizards with legs and feet, why would natural selection of slow slithering over shadow quick running and manipulation with feet? (Makes no sense)
Are snakes just lizards then? (much like Lassie is a wolf)

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Note the "Fuzzy Word," "possibly."

That's right. That's how scientists talk. Once again, you are confused by a lifetime of living among charlatans and magical thinkers who assert things as absolutely true without evidence.

Proofs are for mathematics. This has been examined to you as if you are 5 years old. I don't know how to explain things to a 2 year old, so I think you are out of luck, here.

How were the legs lost?

Described in the post above yours. Pay attention!

If snakes evolved from lizards with legs and feet, why would natural selection of slow slithering over shadow quick running and manipulation with feet?

Because it gave individuals in an isolated population of reptiles a breeding advantage over the other individuals in the population somehow. In no way would it be required that every lizard population evolve the same way, or that this would be an advantage in all environments, or would even come to dominate another population under the same selective pressures.

This is yet another childish and ignorant question from you about evolution. This is the type of question one might expect from a child wo has heard about evolution for the first time.

However, you are an adult and should be embarrassed of yourself for such ignorance and lack of intellectual ability in not being able to reason this out.

You're all over the place and most of us know what to do if we have appendicitis. I have the hard evidence while you present opinions.
