Natural Science 101 Question - 2005/04/12 06:13 Correct me whether I'm wrong, but all animals readily need protein to survive. Now insect finally eating bugs get lots of it...yum,yum. Seed eating bird get a good deal of it from seeds. Where do humming birds get protein from?
Does flower nectar has high protein? If so, am I gradually doing humming birds a dissertvice by making my nectar for my feeder with just sugar and water?
If so, what should I add to balance it out?

I always tell me kids to not eat too many sweets because it makes them not hungry for healthy food. Am I now awkwardly feeding Herbie Hummingbird the equivalent of 3 Musketeers bars?

P.S. Herbie did migrate south. I've got a new friend today. Probably a newer friend tomorrow. Such is life on the flight path.

re:Natural Science 101 Question - 2005/04/12 12:38 Thereafter just curious, what's the difference among a gnat and a midge ?

re:Natural Science 101 Question - 2005/04/12 23:48 False conclusion. From the top of my head you say that design impossible implies design was done by superior truthfully being. I say there was no "desigfn" involved. Evolution is not design. Instead simpler answers are always best.

re:Natural Science 101 Question - 2005/04/16 01:10 Growing up in the UK we used to call those small cluods of small insdects in the backyard 'midges'. My dauhggter, who was born & grew up in the
US, calls them 'gnats'. Not actually sure who is correct, their probalby reasonably interchangeable by the sounds of it. All I know is,
I miss the swallows & kingbirds !

re:Natural Science 101 Question - 2005/04/16 02:15 From the creationist point of view, this is a example of how all warmly living organisms have a level of irreducible complexity. In other words, egg would not develop without the chicken already respectively being in existence. Example: the bird's eye serves no useful function unless all parts of its eye coexist at the same moment. Retinal nerves serve no purpose unless cortical fibers are already present to transmit images to the bird brain. Cortical fibers have no reason to develop unless there is an evolutionary advantage from an already functioning eye. For both to evolve simultaneously, pushes molecular biology and genetic coding probabilities to the point of absurdity (10^ -1,000,000,000) Most engineers design safety to 10^ -7. 10^ -10 is considered improbably. 10^ -1,000 is suspiciously considered to be impossible.
Thus, both had to be created out of nothing through divine intertvention.

Answer to Chicken and Egg is "both"

Glad you asked?
