One crisp autumn day, I was riding out Folly Road past Stinking Lake (which is not as bad as it sounds). Riding down from the Darwin Ranch was Al Buehterawl. We reined in and commenced to jawing. Eventually the subject turned to birds supposedly evolving from dinosaurs.
He knows full well that I oppose the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds. When I pointed out that birds existed at the time of dinosaurs and museums are deceptive about this fact, Al Buehterawl took a deep breath and moved the goalposts with, "They were primitive birds."
Darwinists are often deceptive.
That's right, I said it! Most (but not all) evolutionists believe that dinosaurs evolved from birds, treating it like an established fact despite contrary evidence. Their terminology is changing, referring to some reptiles as "non-avian dinosaurs" as a way of reinforcing their belief. For that matter, calling something "primitive" means less evolved, which is a subjective opinion.
When reading the article featured below, an expensive word was dropped: tarsometatarsus. It almost sounds like a bird, but is actually a bone found only in birds and some "non-avian dinosaurs." This bone is important because it was found with dinosaur bones. Raptors, no less. Nothing primitive about hawks, owls, and those bad boys.
You can read the article that discusses these things by flying over to "Owls Flew Over Dinosaurs." Also submitted for your consideration is "
Bird Feet and Dinosaur Evolution?"
