Half-evolved dinosaur:

Note; Had to remove words to get under 300. See article.
People are taught that the fossil record furnishes proof of evolution. But, where are there fossils of half-evolved dinosaurs or other creatures?
The fossil record contains fossils of only complete and fully-formed species. There are no fossils of partially-evolved species.
Evolutionists claim that the genetic and biological similarities between species is evidence of common ancestry. However, that is only one interpretation of the evidence. Neither position can be scientifically proved.
Although Darwin was partially correct by showing that natural selection occurs in nature, the problem is that natural selection itself is not a creative force. The evidence from genetics supports only the possibility for horizontal evolution (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.) but not vertical evolution (i.e. from fish to human). Unless Nature has the ability to perform genetic engineering vertical evolution will not be possible.
Science cannot prove we're here by creation, but neither can science prove we're here by chance or macro-evolution. No one has observed either. They are both accepted on faith. The issue is which faith, Darwinian macro-evolutionary theory or creation, has better scientific support.
What we believe about life's origins does influence our philosophy and value of life as well as our view of ourselves and others. This is no small issue!
Just because the laws of science can explain how life and the universe operate and work doesn't mean there is no Maker.
Natural laws are adequate to explain the order in life, but undirected natural laws can never fully explain the origin of such order.
The law of entropy in science shows that the universe does not have the ability to have sustained itself from all eternity. In other words, the universe cannot be eternal and requires a beginning.

I used to consider and give some credence to all the various approaches to the theory.
"Rather than argue, I asked her: "If we evolved from apes, then how come we still have apes."
My understanding is Humans and modern apes evolved from a common ancestor which is now extinct, rather than Humans evolving directly from primates currently on Earth.
BABU: "You bad man! You very very bad man!"
>>Odd that this is from Pravda. That stated, there are more accurate sources with anti-Macroevolutionary articles. In Pravda's article on a theoretical hyperdrive, they stated that they Alpha Centauri system was 11 lightyears away instead of the Tau Ceti system.<<
So Pravda is anti-evolution>?!
In the lint of my belly button and under my toe-nails, fermenting, stinking... EVOLVING.
It should be obvious to everyone, that those half evolved fossils can be found in abundance on the left side of the aisle.
Correct! It's always better to not excerpt unless you have to.
LOL...
Think Lysenko.
Half-evolved dinosaur:
Evolution and all its counter theories are political, not scientific. They are not worth debating on scientific grounds because they have no science.
Because today's apes also evolved from (ancient) apes.
Feathered Dino
Since evolution is a continuous process, what would anything "half evolved" look like?
