Extinction of Pterosaurs |
|
| The extinction of some species of pterosaurs, out of so many known from fossils, is hardly disputed. The popular textbook declaration that all species became extinct millions of years ago--that is disputed. |
|
| Contrary to a popular Western opinion, the idea that dinosaurs and pterosaurs became extinct many millions of years ago is not "science" but an assumption. No evidence proves universal extinctions, but ample eyewitness evidence supports the concept that some supposedly "ancient" creatures still live, including Rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs that may be similar to the Sordes Pilosus. |

When pterosaur fossils were first being discovered, apparently, researchers had no eyewitnesses of similar living creatures. It was assumed that pterosaurs lived long ago, since well-known living creatures had little resemblance to those fossils. Since that time, many people report seeing living creatures that resemble pterosaurs; these people deserve to be heard, regardless of extinction ideas. (Before the discovery of pterosaur fossils, reports of live pterosaurs would have been labeled "dragon encounters.")
The case for non-extinction is simple: Eyewitnesses have seen living pterosaurs. The popularity of the complete extinction of all species of pterosaurs long ago cannot reasonably be used as an excuse to dismiss all reports of apparent live pterosaurs. Even should the ropen remain a cryptid for years, the possibility of its existence deserves attention.
Most of those who outright dismiss the possibility of live pterosaurs do so because they choose the philosophy of Naturalism rather than axioms of Creation science or axioms of Intelligent Design.
