Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

        "When the Western world accepted Christianity, Caesar conquered; and the received text of Western theology was edited by his lawyers…. The brief Galilean vision of humility flickered throughout the ages, uncertainly…. But the deeper idolatry, of the fashioning of God in the image of the Egyptian, Persian, and Roman imperial rulers, was retained. The Church gave unto God the attributes which belonged exclusively to Caesar."

        — Alfred North Whitehead

              Dinosaur beauty is in the eye of the dinosaur beholder.

                Feathered dinosaurs are not all from China. Non-avian feathered dinosaurs have also been found in Germany, Mongolia, and Siberia. Actual non-avian dinosaurian feathers have also been found in Canadian amber (without the attached dinosaur), and remnants of quill bases have been found on non-avian dinosaur bones in the U.S.

                The current list is 29 species of non-avian dinosaurs with feathers (plus nine more that might be non-avian or which might be avialan, and five more beyond that where feathers are inferred, but not known, on the basis of a pygostyle).

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feathered_dinosaur


                To add a little detail to what was said earlier, the reason for so many fossils with exquisite preservation have been found in the Liaoning area is that deep graben lakes in areas receiving volcanic ash combine quick deaths above and around those lakes with rapid burial, appropriate geochemistry, and neither moving water nor oxygen nor scavengers at the bottom of those lakes. For somewhat similar conditions resulting in exquisite preservation at other places and times, see the Eocene Messel Oil Shale in Germany, the Florissant Formation in Colorado, and the Oligocene Canyon Ferry Reservoir deposit in Montana, among others.

                    There have been examples found in Spain and Brazil as well. It is just the lion's share have been found in China
