You keep saying “design” like this dinosaur would have been architected a certain way by some form of intelligence, rather than evolved over millions of years through dumb luck.
Your earlier comment about the pain of muscular stress implies that the dinosaurs joints, muscular and nervous system would be identical to that of human limbs. Which is unlikely if such a neck were to evolve.
Also your comparison to Lego is weird. Lego, which is something that was designed, was purposely designed with the goal of being easy to disassemble. So it’s not going to have the same structural integrity as stone, metal, nor bone.

Yes, I do. Because we are several million years away from being able to personally verify the ideas we are presented with, when it comes to dinosaurs. We are dealing with a hypothesis based on the deductions from a small handful of bones, not reality. Eg, when I was younger dinosaurs were never feathered. Pretty much all are now. It's that the ideas evolve, not the dinosaurs.
- hnlmorg 3y agoNobody is going to claim that these theories are bulletproof but that’s an entirely different discussion to the point I was making about using the term “designed”
- verisimi 3y agoThe thing you can also say about design, is even if there is no designer, a thing is the way it is for rational reasons. A tree wouldn't function as it does if it weren't for its form. I guess, you could I use the synonym "form" instead of "design". It's fine use either term: https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/design https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/design
