Thank you for providing this very informative video shawn001. This is the only one that would play on my iPad (apart from the little short one on the turkey.)
I watched it twice actually because I couldn't believe what I was seeing the first time. I even made notes because of the significance of what was presented.
I viewed this video without the pre-conceived idea that what I was watching was fact. It's amazing what you see without the blinkers.
It begins with...."50 million years ago".....and takes us through the discovery of a small piece of skull bone found in a remote archeological dig in Pakistan.
The team leader, Philip Gingerich, couldn't figure out what animal this bone belonged to. So he gets the computer imagery going to perform a "reconstruction" and says this gives us an "idea" of what the animal "might have" looked like, based on what they know about other mammals. So right away it is "assumed" to be a mammal and the computer image makes it "come to life". The only trouble is, it is not substantiated by anything other than the evolutionist's imagination.
What Gingerich says next is classic....."I think it would have four legs...it would probably have short hair and may have hooves." He said he "expected it to be wolf-like" but that he "could not identify the order of animals that it belonged to." Science facts or science fiction?
How do scientists know what bones belong to which creatures when they find them? This video made me think they are rather clueless.
Then the clincher! He spots an ear bone peculiar to one creature and "this can only mean one thing"! This land animal is a primitive whale with legs! Of course it is! Pakicetus is a land dwelling whale. Who then, it is assumed, ran short of food on land because of climate change and had to "quickly "seek food in the water, because the said climate change had boosted photosynthesis and the oceans now became a rich source of food.
"The ancient whale takes its first tentative steps into the water".....(dramatic music in the background of course)
Gingerich then says..."I think they started out as scavengers"...running along the shoreline "feeding on dead fish that had washed up". I wonder how many dead fish it took to feed this one animal. Who is apparently alone and without a mate.
The "next logical step" he said was that this creature would then move on to live fish.
Is "I think" a statement of scientific fact?
But poor old Pakicetus faced predators in the water and his poor swimming ability meant that he got eaten and became extinct......but wait, there's a miracle lurking!
Pakicetus disappears from the fossil record only to return with modifications. How does one return with modifications if one has disappeared off the face of the earth? Now that is a miracle!
Computer imagery again fills in the gaps in our imagination. The trouble is, the gaps are filled in by the imagination of others. Not facts, but supposition...nothing more than educated guessing....and stretching it at that.
If only these scientists had real proof for what they spout off as facts. If they had no idea what species the bones belong to then perhaps they need more skill to interpret the "evidence" they find instead of filling in the gaps with guesswork and supposition. This just proves what I have been saying all along.
You guys are soooo sucked in by these supposed men of science who really prove that it is their guesswork that is submitted as the "proof" for what they say. There is no real evidence.....it is all interpretation fuelled by imagination.
Watch it again yourself without the blinkers and see what I see.
Now this one really made me laught!
