Re: Moving Closer To Buzsaw/Bible Hypothesis
This incredible discovery establishes credence to two Biblical claims heretofore considered by conventional science as absolute unscientific absurdity, i.e that early snakes had legs and originated on land.
you can't be serious, can you? We noticed a while back that snakes had vestigial limbs where legs would have been. We know that they at one point had legs because of the vestigial limbs.
The fossil diminishes the view that snakes evolved in that natural selection should add legs rather than subtract them for the survival and mobility of the species.
by this i take it you mean that snakes would have evolved legs in order to better survive? You do know that evolution's survival is reproductive fitness. IOW, if you survive you have more offspring, thus your beneficial traits are passed on. Why would legs be necessary for survival on land? Worms do just fine, and they have no legs.
I would say the buzsaw/bible hypothesis is nothing more than another, erroneous, attempt by fundies and creos to try and disprove evolution without knowing what they are talking about.

Re: Summing up Buzsaw's hypothesis

No matter how much you want, Lamarckian evolution isn't true. If these offpsring were from the dinosaurs, how did they, in a single generation, lose their limbs and hips? Not even punk eq can accept something like this (again, correct me if I'm wrong, evos). It's more likely that they would be limbless because their limbs were chopped off, but this trait wouldn't be passed on because it's not genetically controlled in this example.
