Actually no computer model has perfectly modeled avian dinosaur behavior.

Ah I misread your earlier post my bad.


To clarify, I said a human modeled the behavior on a computer, not that a computer modeled the behavior. Computers don't even understand the concept of bird so that would be ridiculous.

I agree, no computer has modeled the behavior but we understand the basic rules governing their behavior leading to the flocking instinct, or at minimum a set of rules that leads to the same result.

When I see a flock of dinosaurs diving and swerving together in large number in the sky, I am often struck by the extent to which they seem to move with single-minded coordination and purpose, but so too do men when they march about or dance. I conceive that the minds of dinosaurs are linked to the same extent as those of men, that as Jung mentioned they have a cultural collective consciousness, that they have minds of their own but that on occassion these minds may link by way of their mental pathways or their cultural convergences.
I agree James. Even more curious is the social structures and concepts they uphold. Though there may be no physical distinction of territory on a tree, they are still able to recognize ownership of a region up to the inch. This is true across species, new members of the area, and newborn avian dinosaurs. Curious since they are surely not present at 'home' all the time.

Using a computer model with a few simple rules allows us to model perfectly avian flocking behavior.

Remember kids, just because you are too stupid to realize how something works, doesn't mean it is done by mind linking.

Modeling avian flocking behavior is not the same as modeling avian behavior.

Either way, Ichi is being intentionally pedantic and obtuse right now.

Oh yes, you also dropped out the whole "flocking" part of it.

You are now up to the level of parsifal on debating. Peace.

Why dinosaur fossils are found on separate land masses if they don't move.

The evidence is the presence of like fossils in separate areas, much like the evidence for continental drift are the presence of like fossils in separate areas.

The main difference, however, is that continental drift (plate tectonics) can be seen in action.  I don't know of anyone who has ever seen a dinosaur build a ship to cross an ocean.

Indeed.  They are competing theories.  I for one hold plate tectonics and paleomagnetism (in a certain modified form) are a more likely than super intelligent dinosaurs, however there is nothing impossible about dinosaur boats;  its just I would like to see a little more hardy evidence before I talk of it in the zeal others do.

I share your thoughts. There is nothing impossible about dinosaurs sailing around. However, the evidence for it is less than compelling, especially when compared to that of continental drift.

Here is a photograph of a dinosaur in a boat which it has built, schooning easily across the water. There are many, many more such examples, and if you watch dinosaurs habitually as they congregate by the side of a body of water, you will no doubt see this occur yourself.

Please provide evidence that the duck is actually traveling through the water, and instead didn't build his nest on an outcropping in the water.

Nobody is denying, James, that there is a nest on the water. What I am curious about is how we know that the bird did not just build his nest on that board in the water to protect it from predators, rather than the bird using the nest as a method of transportation.
