tinfoilhat Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Quite a few I should think. What's your point? Apart from fish (and even one or two of those have them) most animals would find wings beneficial. Why haven't we all got them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six45ive Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Apart from fish (and even one or two of those have them) most animals would find wings beneficial. Why haven't we all got them ? If you're well adapted to your environment as a species then there is no need for wings and when birds find a niche in the environment where their wings are unecessary they lose the ability to fly eg ostriches, emus etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 yet it was also christians who transported african slaves to america and fought wars against themselves to ensure they remained slaves. it was christians who limited the rights of workers reducing them to little more than slaves even when slavery as such had been abolished. it was christians who imposed their beliefs on the rest of the world at the point of the sword and the barrel of the gun. it was christians who persecuted people based on the colour of their skin. it was christians who kept women as second class citizens for almost two thousand years. it was also christians who fought two world wars which killed millions. Shall we agree to differ. http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/atheist.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 A good science teacher would not present Creationism as an alternative 'theory' to evolution. Creationism has no body of evidence to support it and as such isn't a scientific theory. No but it deserves a mention as an alternative point of view. That's all.

Halibut Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Apart from fish (and even one or two of those have them) most animals would find wings beneficial. Why haven't we all got them ? With respect, that's nonsense; you clearly don't really understand natural selection. As per the previous response to this point, we haven't all got wings because we don't need them. For badgers, earthworms, clams, giraffe, alligators and human beings they'd be completely pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 No but it deserves a mention as an alternative point of view. That's all. Not in the science classroom. Creationism has no place there in any context other than as an example of poor science. We don't offer up introductory faith healing or psychic surgery lectures to medical students as a credible alternative view about how an illness might be treated. Similarly, we don't teach children Creationism as an alternative view about the diversity of life on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
