Do you think that the Dodo birds
evolved on that island
or simply lost their ability to fly on
that island?
Or how did they get there?

I guess Pnal's busy.
Here:
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2014/06/10/earths-magnetic-flips-may-triggered-mass-extinctions/#.WWTtHYXF2Ec

"Research recently published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters suggests that reversals of the Earth’s magnetic field may have sparked mass extinctions in the past by stripping oxygen from the atmosphere."

There are reversals every approximately 500,000
years.  The last one was about 800,000 years ago.
Did the Dodo just require thicker Oxygen to fly?
Or breathe? Do dinosaurs require more O2?

Is this perfect or what?  Mike Dworetsky saying 'I'm not Polish but my ancestors are Polish'!


That is like the Perfect Polish Joke!!



This is the kind of thinking you find in.. of all places....science groups.




Did you hear about the polock that locked his keys in the car? It
took him 2 hours to get his family out.

This all sounds to me like you are a Nazi antisemite.  Dworetsky is a 
Russian name (depending on how you convert Russian to English letters, it 
can be spelled in a variety of ways).

If you don't know what a Nazi is, your education is sadly lacking.

That's another 'work around' for not explaining what a Nazi is...it's okay, everybody knows you're a Dumbsky.

Hiding??? The internet requires a username, not the name on your Post Office Mailbox...


How old are you, 170 years old???? 

Do you still use whiteout to erase words on your computer screen, Dumbsky???

So, let me re-cap on this Dumbsky...he says I'm not Polish but my ancestors are
Polish'

He says he's got a russian name but isn't russian...

and he sees nazis in his chicken soup..

what does that make him? He must have a BIG nose....

could explain his habitual lying...

or the air is free.

because we learn new evidence, and realize there may be many factors
with different levels of influence.

Beside that you seem to miss the full definition, namely this part:
"made as a basis for reasoning"
So the hypothesis is made and then tested against the evidence.

So, please, go back to third grade and learn how science
actually works.

Numb-skull. because of a typo in wikipedia you reach exactly
the wrong conclusion.
that should have been "never BEFORE observed"

Look Up electron capture where it says:
"The theory of electron capture was first discussed by Gian-Carlo Wick
 in a 1934 paper, and then developed by Hideki Yukawa and others.
 K-electron capture was first observed by Luis Alvarez, in vanadium-48.
 He reported it in a 1937 paper in Physical Review.[2][3][4] Alvarez
 went on to study electron capture in gallium-67 and other nuclides."

Because other nationalities were afraid of the

If you are going to tell such jokes, at least make it one
I haven't heard before, and one that hasn't been applied
to about 100 other nationalities.

You are more clown than comedian obviously.
