Fossil Birds Refute Evolution
“HESPERORNITHIFORMS: THE FIRST MARINE BIRDS,” –presented by Dr. Alyssa Bell, Postdoctoral Research Associate. Dr. Bell’s research focuses primarily on avian evolution and the use of phylogenetics to study aquatic bird diversity. Historical science (geology, paleontology, ect.) is based on deductive reasoning, as opposed to observational science (chemestry, mathematics, etc.) based on inductive reasoning by observation of facts. https://www.livescience.com/21569-deduction-vs-induction.html "Deductive reasoning, or deduction, starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion, according to California State University . The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. "In deductive inference, we hold a theory and based on it we make a prediction of its consequences. That is, we predict what the observations should be if the theory were correct. We go...
