For the last 2 days, I have been having a conversation with
Vertebrate Catholic (exorcism blog).
Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in many plants, some invertebrate animal species (including nematodes, water fleas, some scorpions, aphids, some bees, some Phasmida and parasitic wasps) and a few
vertebrates (such as some fish, amphibians, reptiles and very rarely birds.
Archaeopteryx bears traits of two distinct
vertebrate classes and directly contradicts the notion of specially - created unbridgeable «kinds.»

What do they know about the earliest
vertebrate environment and some aspects of dermal skeletal tissue or the Opaque 2 function in maize?
The term macroevolution, by contrast, refers to the origin of new species and divisions of the taxonomic hierarchy above the species level, and also to the origin of complex adaptations, such as
the vertebrate eye.

The Bible said not all species of animals but all kinds of animals, and not all animals, only land
vertebrates.
(We know and can see that bacteria evolve quite a bit faster than
vertebrates, and once an organism has adapted to its environment sufficiently, evolutionary pressure is lessened — «living fossils»)
(
Vertebrates and canines are historical entities, but conceptual facts on the order of if it's a canine, then it's a vertebrate are by nature timeless and ahistorical, holding always and everywhere, even when canines and
vertebrates are absent.)
Originally when life was first evolving, there were
no vertebrates, evolution doesn't have «one thing turning into another» like pokemon, it has life branching off like a giant complex web.
Now, we also evolved from
vertebrates, in that we have spines.
Chimps will never become human, just like humans will never become chimps, because we have now branched off in the same way that
vertebrates have branched off from non-vertabrates.
We evolved from that which we are, we ARE primates, we ARE eukaryotes, we ARE metazoa, we ARE mammals, we ARE apes, we ARE
vertebrates.
Organisms with a spine do not automatically become human, human isn't the goal of
vertebrate evolution.
@transframer — With all due respect, you didn't really address the issues raised regarding: 1) actual # of extant
vertebrate species; 2) the fact that land inverts «breath air» and would have drowned if not accounted for on the ark; 3) that the dino genera identified in the wiki link far exceeds 50; 4) the need to account for extinct land vertebrates in addition to those still around; 5) that many marine fish would have died as their habitat's salinity dropped; 6) that your % allotments for food / water don't reflect the fact that many forms require fresh meat and / or eat disproportionately to their sizes; 7) the specific dietary / environmental constraints involved in the migration to the Ark and the return trips from Mt. Ararat.
No, he killed every land
vertebrate which was not on the ark: Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.
Yes but if you read again, I said land
vertebrates.
Whenever you qualify the plain language to include only land
vertebrates, divinely - delivered eggs / juveniles, suspended animation, etc, you are indicating that the science simply doesn't matter.
Yet there is no trace of communication by learned symbolic languages among reptiles, of hair or feathers among amphibians, of the auditory apparatus of land
vertebrates, or of legs or wings, among the fish.
So, how many species of land
vertebrates are there?
Our ancestors were aquatic
vertebrates which used gills to breathe.
If you are conceding that most marine organisms died, then you face the same founding population genetic diversity constraints limiting their ability to rapidly yield the mult - itude of observable marine
vertebrate and invertebrate life in a very short time.
2) It appears that god only asked to take the land
vertebrates on the ark, the inverts died or survived by themselves by clinging to floating stuff, flying, using air pockets in earth or something like this.
However, it scarcely makes sense to say that certain bones of a fish skull are incipient ears, or that two pairs of fins in fish have concealed in them the five - fingered appendages of the higher
vertebrates.
Human embryos —
all vertebrate embryos — have pharyngeal arches.
If God is taken to be like that, it then follows that human love itself is interpreted as being «Pollyanna - ish» sentimentality, prepared to accept whatever happens, tolerant of anything, however vicious, and utterly lacking in
vertebrate strength.
In a little lesser degree the behavior of lower
vertebrates allows the conclusion that these animals have sensations, feelings and memory.
We are swimming, along with every other
vertebrate, in the sea of the Animal Kingdom.
The same evidence was found in another family of proteins, the cytochromes c, and this made it possible to conclude that the common ancestor of yeast, plants, and
vertebrates lived about 1.2 billion years ago.
There is no such «direct» evolution: animals, bacteria, and algae have a common ancestor from which they have diverged, as can be shown by aligning and comparing amino acid sequences of proteins and nucleotide sequences of homologous ribosomal RNA molecules that are found in both bacteria and
vertebrates.
(A civilized society is not a chair or type of
vertebrate.)
The experimental evidence that natural selection could build
a vertebrate from an invertebrate, a mammal from a reptile, or a human from an ape is a bit less than the experimental evidence for superstring theory» that is, none at all.
The small family of hominids, the last shoot to emerge from the main stem of Evolution, has of itself achieved a degree of expansion equal to, or even greater than, that of the greatest
vertebrate layers (reptile or mammal) that ever inhabited the earth.
This accounts for the tendency, which has been insufficiently noted, of every living phylum (insect and
vertebrate) to group itself towards its latter end in socialized communities.
Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote
vertebrates covered in overlapping scales.
Plus 1500 + species of mammals, fish, birds, insects, other
vertebrates, ans invertebrates exhibit hômosèxuality.
Are all these species of mammals, fish, birds, insects, other
vertebrates, and invertebrates, sinning?
Oct. 28, 2013 — A James Cook University - National Geographic expedition to Cape York Peninsula in north - east Australia has found three
vertebrate species new to science and isolated for millions of years
The progressive order of the fossil record, complete with forms bridging the major distinguishing traits of modern
vertebrate classes, is a fact.
A wide variety of
vertebrates also are known to have «reward circuits» in their brains.

Vertebrate Pest Conference (West Sacramento, CA: California

Furthermore, sensory receptors for these chemicals have been found in
all vertebrates except cartilaginous fishes such as sharks.
This would suggest that a wide range of
vertebrates may experience some sort of suffering akin to anxiety in humans.
Would it be something that shows intermediate structures not present in the current major
vertebrate classes.
We can follow it in insects as in
vertebrates; and among the
vertebrates we can follow it from class to class, from order to order, and from family to family.
There is no need to recall Haeckel's blasphemy about a gaseous
vertebrate: suffice it to remind ourselves of the classical tradition of religious philosophy with its insistence that God can not be defined except in negatives — apoios, without quality, the ontos on, the thelon, (See Philo.
The sequence of experience in a waking
vertebrate animal is the paradigm case.
Given a system or composite of individuals, all on a comparable level, for instance molecular or cellular, then in some cases, given integration of activities (thus molecules in a cell, or cells in
a vertebrate animal), there may be what Leibniz called a «dominant monad» or what Whitehead calls a «society of presiding occasions.»
