Description Another Edit: I'm starting to draw feathery raptors, I'm just trying to figure out the REST of the dromaeosaur anatomy now... beaks? Dunno. Angle of the thigh bone? I'm working on it. (Halp plz?) Everything I said before, however, still stands. My opinion ain't yours. o3o;

Edit: I don't know how the tiny phrase "I don't like feathers" started such a firestorm and a little bit of hate, but...just so you know... I'm not a scientist. I'm an artist with an interest in dinosaurs. You could say I'm a Creationist by default because I'm a Christian, which means it just describes my beliefs in that area because I believe what the Bible says. (Oh dear please no comment firestorms from that one. Just a statement.) So... if my itty bitty statement about what I prefer disturbs you so much, um.... go write in a journal or rant or something. Sorry you feel that way. If one day I see large raptor fossils with feathers, I'll draw them with feathers. (Link me if you find any.)[End Edit]

Tee hee.

wanted to know more about raptors and perspective, thus it was easier to make a tutorial rather than explain it. Ta dee!!

1st comment: Yes, I found that out eventually. XD I don't agree with Behe on that, but I liked the arguments in his first book.

2nd comment: "... his book leaves out key components of molecular evolutionary mechanisms, like tandem duplication, unequal crossing over, or reverse transcription being inserted into the genome without being flipped."
O___O I....don't really know what any of that means...You obviously do, but I haven't researched quite that far into evolutionary molecular biology. I'll need to look up those terms....

Also, honest-because-I-don't-know question: How much research has been done on molecular evolution now? It seemed like very little when Behe wrote his book.

3rd Comment: What do the elongated eyebars on Drosophila flies do?

Sorry for my unscientific-ness

Basically it's ways for genes to replicate and make regular mutations which are not random bits of genetic code, but duplicitous coding for genes that now do different things.
Molecular biology has a ton of study and, closely working with geneticists, have created steady new research into evolutionary biology. Over the last couple years we've seen many remarkable things, including the evolution of a single-celled yeast organisms into multi-celled yeast organisms, and a bacteria that mutated and was able to consume nylon-material, which it could not do before.

Now that you put it like that, I think I'll give that book a read. However, just because I'm reading it, you can't necessarily expect me to believe any of it.

Whether you believe it or not is not something I can control, ;)
but I appreciate that you are not taking my word for it. I thought it was a good read anyway. He's very humorous with his examples.

I don't think the frog eye is a frog eye, but a goat eye! That would make an interesting dinosaur...

LOL frogs have many many different pupil shapes, including "goat eyes". XD
But yes, it would make an interesting dinosaur, I think.
