The croco-bird theory of evolution

I was googling around the subject of Spinosaurus when I came across this fantastic example of fundamentalist blather. The author has decided that scientists believe birds evolved from crocodiles :confused: and then, as if that wasn't bad enough he continues:

Quote:

And let’s suppose that somehow and for some reason the crocodile developed every necessary part of the flying equipment and survived the torturous path of existing as a part-croc, part-bird, who would teach him how to fly? There would have been no birds to imitate, because this fellow was supposedly the first bird. How many attempts would the croco-bird have to make before he got airborne? Maybe he climbed a tall tree (a crocodile that can learn to fly can doubtless climb a tree) and practiced gliding for a while in order to get the hang of it. Why would a crocodile want to jump out of a tree? Why didn’t it hurt itself and just quit such nonsense long before anything productive happened? Sooner or later the croco-bird had to have taken off on his own. Maybe he found an incline and ran as fast as his little croco-bird feet could go and got airborne that way, kind of like the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk. Just what was that first croco-bird flight like? Wouldn’t it have been something to see! Once the croco-bird got off the ground, what would he do? Would a flying crocodile be afraid of height?

I mean really, a crocodile makes the conscious decision to change into a bird and then, after a few generations puddling around with his half-wings getting in the way, he has to get someone to TEACH HIM TO FLY for goodness' sake!



Surely this guy must know he's talking nonsense - no? :eye-poppi :jaw-dropp
