IS AN OXYMORON
| NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ THE TEXT IN THE GRAPHIC ABOVE, DO YOU SEE HOW IRRATIONAL "THE THEORY OF FLIGHT" IS? THE "TREE DOWN" (LEAP & THUMP) OR THE "GROUND UP" (JUMP & THUMP) ORIGIN OF FLIGHT IS THE SAME, LONG REJECTED EVOLUTIONARY THEORY OF "LAMARKISM." THIS THEORY STATED, FOR ONE, THAT GIRAFFES EVOLVED LONG NECKS IN ORDER TO REACH A HIGHER FOOD SOURCE WHICH WAS OUT OF THE REACH OF COMPETING HERBIVORES IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. STILL DON'T GET IT? CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING. OUR RANDOMLY CHOSEN REPTILE, WE'LL CALL HIM RISKY, CLIMBS A TREE. BY OBSERVATION, WE KNOW THAT REPTILES ARE MOTIVATED THROUGH THEIR INSTINCTIVE/REACTIONARY MIND/NERVOUS SYSTEM. THE ONLY REASON RISKY WOULD THROW HIMSELF FROM THE TREE, INSTEAD OF CLIMBING BACK DOWN, WOULD BE TO POUNCE ON PREY OR KEEP FROM BECOMING PREY. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE "FIGHT OR FLIGHT" (DEFENCE OR ESCAPE) INSTINCT. TO ENTERTAIN THE METAPHYSICAL BELIEF THAT RISKY, ACCORDING TO HIS NATURAL KNOWN BEHAVIOR, COULD BEGIN ACCUMULATING THE NECESSARY "LEAP & THUMP" ATTITUDE THAT WOULD "RANDOMLY" BE PASSED ON TO HIS GENETIC PROGENY IS THIS. RISKY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP CLIMBING TREES FILLED WITH PREDATORS THAT WOULD MOTIVATE HIM TO LEAP TO THE GROUND, OVER & OVER, ON A DAILY BASES. HE WOULD ALSO NEED A FEROCIOUS APPETITE AND ENDLESS SUPPLY OF PREY HE COULD POUNCE ON IN BETWEEN ATTACKS. KEEP IN MIND, RISKY WOULD HAVE TO IGNORE HIS NATURAL INSTINCT TO FIND SAFER TREES. LASTLY, SOME DINO-BIRD DENOMINATIONALISTS IMPLY THAT PROTO-AVIATORS LIKE RISKY HAD A MYSTICAL SENSE OF SELF-AWARENESS, AN ANALYTICAL MIND AND A STRONG MORAL COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING FLIGHT AND ASSURING THEIR SURVIVAL TO LIVE IN OUR TREES TODAY. IF ANY OF THIS DINO-BIRD, MACRO-EVOLUTION SEEMS REASONABLE OR RATIONAL, YOU CAN BE SELF-ASSURED THAT YOU'RE A CARD CARRYING, METAPHYSICAL MACRO-EVOLUTIONARY FUNDAMENTALIST AND THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF OMNIOLOGY WILL ALWAYS DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO BE SO.
