I just came to a humorous realization. If
birds are dinosaurs, then the debate over whether dinsoaurs are kosher has
ended. (No, this is not a popular debate) Up until now, dinosaurs
have been guaged against the mammal kosher guidelines (cloven hooves and chewing
of cud), but seeing as no one took into account the evolutionary relationships,
everyone thought dinos were unkosher. But the conundrum now is that no
reptile is kosher. So when is a bird not a reptile? Or better yet,
when is a dinsoaur not a reptile?
Looks like cladistics won't affect just the
scientific community!
Peace out, Demetrios Vital
P.S. I wouldn't lose sleep over this if you
eat Kosher (I don't eat Kosher, BTW).
