牛哥講經丨廣東話哲學、書籍分享【諗諗下唔對路】演化證據顯示恐龍並無滅絕，喺日常中仍然可以見到恐龍？｜《恐龍的啟示》（一）問你一個問題：滄龍、翼龍、鱷魚、企鵝，以上邊一種係恐龍？畀啲時間你去估下，如果你估錯就要考下你身邊嘅朋友，照計佢都會係錯，咁你就順便叫佢聽呢個podcast。Deal唔Deal？OK，Deal。
答案係——企鵝。無錯，係海洋公園都有嘅企鵝。佢哋唔係恐龍嘅近親，而係恐龍嘅直屬演化血脈。雖然滄龍、翼龍都有個龍字，但睇落蠢蠢地嘅企鵝同無畏龍嘅關係，要比滄龍、翼龍同無畏龍之間更加親近。
歡迎你返到嚟《諗諗下唔對路》，今集要同你講講「演化證據顯示恐龍並無滅絕，你我喺日常中仍然見到恐龍後代」。
「滄龍、翼龍、鱷魚、企鵝」嘅問題，係《恐龍的啟示》嘅作者肯尼斯・拉科瓦拉(Kenneth Lacovara）經常喺演講中詢問人嘅問題，因為佢希望以地質學家同古生物學家嘅身份，去帶畀人正確嘅科學理解。佢明白企鵝呢一個答案可能會顛覆你我嘅常識，但佢就好幽默咁表示：
「你可能會想，這聽起來很不可思議。然而確實是這樣，而這就是科學存在的原因。正如歷史一再證實，在理解宇宙的結構與複雜時，常識是很糟糕的指南。愛因斯坦說常識是「偏見的累積」。如果常識有用的話，我們就不需要科學了，但常識並不牢靠。」
常識係「偏見的累積」，相信各位聽完伽利略嗰集之後都會深有感受。常識話畀古人知，太陽圍住地球轉，但科學（望遠鏡）話畀我哋知，地球圍住太陽轉。今次，就想打破各位對恐龍嘅常識，科學咁檢視恐龍，搵下恐龍、蜥蜴同鳥類之間嘅關係。
今集內容包括：
- 講述點解滄龍、翼龍、鱷魚唔係恐龍後代，但企鵝係
- 恐龍同蜥蜴嘅共同祖先同分別
- 恐龍同鳥類嘅關係
- 科學精神同常識嘅分別

Big Picture ScienceFree Range Dinosaurs(repeat) Dinosaurs are once again stomping and snorting their way across the screen of your local movie theater. But these beefy beasts stole the show long before CGI brought them back in the Jurassic Park blockbusters. Dinosaurs had global dominance for the better part of 165 million years. Compare that with a measly 56 million years of primate activity. We bow to our evolutionary overlords in this episode.
