What part of evolution would give them feathers in a warm, humid jungle-like climate?What bird living in a warm climate does not have feathers.?

I guess you haven't heard the news of the FRAUD involved with those models. it was discovered that some creative liberty was taken by these 'evolutionists' but mixing the jaws of apes with skulls of man and other creative manipulations. I'm always curious when a creationist tells me a fossil ias a hoax. How do you know? What line of reasoning would lead you to determine that a fossil is a fraud?

I don't think most of them are willing to actually study the intricate details of the fossil record.

I'm always curious when a creationist tells me a fossil ias a hoax. I'm always curious when scientists change their "theory"(such an interesting word).
First dinosaurs are green and brown, then multicolored, now with feathers. And we are supposed to accept these "theories" as fact?
Fun to read, but I take every latest theory with a grain of salt.

Feathers are thought to have evolved first to keep dinosaurs warm and only later as an aid to flight. And the evidence is that they were also warm-blooded?

I can go to the local bar and show you a guy that has a skull shaped like any one of those That is scary. Please don't invite me along, I'll stick to my own bar!

In trying to reconstruct dinosaur feathers, we should remember analogous use of hair in mammals: all mammals have hair, but very large mammals in warm climates tend to have very sparse hair (elephants, rhinos, hippos, etc) to better dissipate heat. I would imagine that dinosaurs of similar and larger size would also have sparse feathers, if they had feathers, so would appear to be more "scaly" rather than being totally covered by feathers.
