    An ostrich is a bird, it evolved from a bird that could fly the same as penguins. Penguins though have gone a stage further and adapted to life in the sea.

    I see you haven't answered my question in the other thread, i'll put it here as it's more apt. You accept penguins evolved for life in the sea, yet don't accept mammals did. Explain the biological 'walls and restrictions' as you call them that are in place in mammals yet not in penguins.

    [head hits the desk]

    No one is old enough to have seen Jesus, no one has ever seen God. What does that prove?? As for 'making it up', could you elaborate on that for me?!

    They may be evolutionist, but they do not come about this information using science and the scientific method

    Again, could you elaborate on how you know this. Her is a scientific paper peer-reviewed paper on penguin history.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1560011/

    Could you go through and show how this isn't science and where the authors of the paper avoid the scientific method. Nice one.

    You must be confusing me with someone else. God made the penguins
    and the mammals. There is no evolving.

    That answer from me was in reply to Mr Jay's question, it's you who is confused Mr Hinds.

    The post two posts above this is directed for you.

    Yes there were eyewitnesses to Jesus. They wrote about Him,
    testifying to what He did and said and who He said it to.
    Jesus was the Son of God proving God exists to us all.
    There was no eyewitnesses to the evolution of penguins
    because it never happened. They make up fairy tale stories
    about the penguin to explain things they don't understand.

    As for the paper to explain the restrictions of Penguins to
    a geographical area, which as long puzzled biogeographers,
    they admit there were uncertainties. So they state that this
    or that is likely or unlikely or inferred by using approximations
    and assumptions to suppose the result they want and then
    declare the matter explained. This is not the scientific method
    I learned in school. We needed exact and accurate information;
    no approximations, uncertainties, or assumptions were allowed.
    Because to assume something made an ass out of u and me.

    You went to a bad school. I suggest that you realize that you were not taught science properly and either accept that you don't understand science (and refrain from making claims as if you do) or try to learn what science really is.

    Your just utterly clueless aren't you?! I'll remind you of a couple of your statements in another thread -

    I am not a scientist so I will have to take their word for it......


    and

    Like I said I am not a scientist or biologist so I don't know for sure.


    Now your dictating what the scientific method is. Do you see the absurdity in these two positions of yours?

    The restrictions are that only those of the same kind will produce off spring at
    least that is how it is defined in scripture, and I believe I have told you that
    before. With respect to saying what did or did not evolve from what I do not
    know, but can guess what came from what.

    So how come penguins evolved for life in the sea yet mammals cannot. Why can one happen and not the other, what 'restrictions' are in place in mammals?

    Also, do you think your 'guesswork' is on a par with geneticists work on evolution?

    Yes, I made those statements within a context. But I also took
    and passed my science classes in school where we were required
    to do experiments using the scientific method. To make sure
    I remembered correctly, I looked it up on wikipedia.

    Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating
    phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating
    previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry
    must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable
    evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. The Oxford
    English Dictionary says that scientific method is:
    "a method of procedure that has characterized natural science
    since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation,
    measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing,
    and modification of hypotheses."

    Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another,
    identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methods
    of obtaining knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses
    as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to
    test these hypotheses. These steps must be repeatable, to predict
    future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry
    may bind many independently derived hypotheses together in a
    coherent, supportive structure. Theories, in turn, may help form
    new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.

    Scientific inquiry is generally intended to be as objective as possible,
    to reduce biased interpretations of results. Another basic expectation
    is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they
    are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, giving them the
    opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This
    practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the
    reliability of these data to be established.

    I still do not think the scientist that produced that paper did a very
    strick job of following the scientific method as stated above, even
    though it is more liberal than I remembered it.

    Explain to me how the method used in the paper i listed above doesn't fit the 'scientific method'.
