A recent article made the bold claim that feathers are one of evolution’s greatest inventions. But what proof did they offer?

One time, they assert "BECOME FEATHERS".The genes that caused scales to become feathers in the early ancestors of birds have been found by US scientists.
By expressing these genes in embryo alligator skin, the researchers caused the reptiles' scales to change in a way that may be similar to how the earliest feathers evolved.
Feathers are highly complex natural structures and they're key to the success of birds.
So the evidence shows. In fact, geneticists have shown that a mutation of one gene can change scutes to feathers in birds and crocodiles, which are both archosaurs like thecodonts and dinosaurs. Would you like to learn about that?One time, they assert "BECOME FEATHERS".
Yes. Knowing that something happened doesn't mean one knows every detail.The next, they tone down their emotion and say, "change in a way that MAY be similar to how the earliest feathers evolved". MAY??
Fossils. Would you like to learn about the fossil evidence? It happens to be backed up by genetics and biochemistry, of course, but it's also demonstrated by fossils.And how would they know what an "earliest feather" looks like??
Perhaps you don't know what "uniformitarianism" means. What do you think it means? Hint: It doesn't mean "continuous smooth change."Oh right - assume that the past continued on smoothly to today (and ignore Genesis)!! uniformitarianism!!
Guesses don't leave fossils. So It was 100%, depending on what you mean by that. What's a 100% feather, in your beliefs?Was it a feather 100% or was it merely a GUESS??
Natural processes are the way God creates most things in this world. You are a creature of God, are you not?And then they say it is highly complex. Why would a natural process be the maker of feathers, and not God creating them in Creation Week??
Yep.So did it really become a feather??
He did. You just don't approve of the way He did it.and actually God created it??
It's observed everywhere in all sorts of populations. I think you are confused about what biological evolution is. What do you think it is?wow, believing evolution is a maze ing.
Just like physics. A science with no new questions is dead.And it raises more questions than gives answers.
Me too. But learning that God created things doesn't mean He told you how.I like Genesis
Don't birds already have feathers?change scutes to feathers in birds and crocodiles,
Feathers were instantly created on day 6. There's no evidence I've seen indicating they arose by natural means.Yes. Knowing that something happened doesn't mean one knows every detail.
How do feathers fossilize?Fossils.
Right. Catastrofic Floods do!Guesses don't leave fossils. So It was 100%, depending on what you mean by that. What's a 100% feather, in your beliefs?
How would you verify that?Natural processes are the way God creates most things in this world.
Self-describing.You just don't approve of the way He did it.
You are thinking of CiAFoPoT (guess the acronym!). Not the Athiest's Origin Tale pushed in Western school system.It's observed everywhere in all sorts of populations. I think you are confused about what biological evolution is. What do you think it is?
Bioevo deals with history - physics deals with 'live science'. (no pun intended.)Just like physics. A science with no new questions is dead.
What makes you think that?But learning that God created things doesn't mean He told you how.
So Simply Truth.Feathers were instantly created on day 6. There's no evidence I've seen indicating they arose by natural means.
Believing Genesis would increase knowledge
The devil?What makes you think that?
Barbedwire Barbarian, that's who.So Simply Truth.
Who Dares Oppose The Creator's Word daily here !?
^The wicked ideas of evolution did not just pop up from empty space , but they sure do fill the space between the ears of those who did not take care who they listened to!
They also have scutes. Scutes are scales that are found in birds, crocodiles, and dinosaurs (pretty much all archosaurs). The scutes of birds and crocodiles can be induced to form feathers. Which is not surprising, since many dinosaurs had feathers.Don't birds already have feathers?
In crocodiles - REAL full-on feathers, or just divided scales that LOOK like feathers?
“These feather-like appendages display all five criteria defining feathers, suggesting that they act at a higher hierarchical level in this evolutionary pathway,” said Chuong.
“Intriguingly, some of these phenotypes are similar to the unusual filamentous appendages found in the fossils of feathered dinosaurs,” he added.
Buried in anoxic envirionments. There are many, many such instances. It requires stagnant, still water, and much slowly deposited mud/debris.How do feathers fossilize?
The YE creationist "flood" was supposed to be sudden and violent. So that would be inconsistent with feathers fossilizing.If they do - this is another proof of Noahs Earthwide flood!
See above. That's what they found in the fossil record on dinosaurs, and what they managed to induce in crocodiles.A feather that is testably similar to a modern day bird feather.
As you learned, the "days" of creation were not literal 24-hour days. In fact, they weren't periods of time at all.Feathers were instantly created on day 6.
Observation. Almost everything in this world comes about by natural means.How would you verify that?
And yet God says nature brought forth life on Earth. Why not set your pride aside and just believe it His way?Creation Week was a supernatural event, not natural one.
He doesn't say how. Instead of putting words in His mouth, why not just let it be as it will be?Tell us, how does God create the new Heavens & Earth?
Nope. But if you can find any step from a protist to a bird that couldn't evolve, you might have a case. Darwin, BTW, just wrote that God created the first living things. He was willing to accept it God's way. Why aren't you?Ad-Infinitum Evolution!: V
"What did the bird evolve from?" "A pre bird." "What did prebird evolve from?" "A prepre bird." "And that?" "Preprepre-bird." "This is gonna go on forever, isn't it?"
