somewhat... he’s making chicken embryos express latent genetic traits like dinosaur-like tails. The embryos are all terminated before they would hatch, though the scientist does admit at one point that if he could figure out how to make a chicken embryo develop into a dinosaur (which is apparently theoretically possible, which is what the article is essentially about) he’d probably want to allow one to hatch, at least once.

How did teeth the size of bananas turn into beaks? There are smart evolutionists, and then there are the not so smart ones. Let's just say this is the first time I've seen an evolutionist claim that beak tissue is descended from teeth.

Aah, from reading the article a little more closely, it says
He hopes it will coax the embryo to grow a big tail. A dinosaur-like tail.
Now why a guy would want a chicken with a big 'ol giant lizard tail, I have no idea...except;
Maybe they'd be easier to manage than alligators?
If this works, one could open up really bitchin' fried "alligator" tail/fried chicken stand.
It could work(!), as long as one didn't forget to also offer up good biscuits, beans, and coleslaw, too.

A chicken with a 30 foot tail would be worth paying 50 cents to see at a gas station along Route 66.

I prefer pig or cow butt myself but I’m not that picky.

“It’s shocking that inaccuracies like this continue to seep through contemporary and mainstream science articles.”
It is worse when it is done at a university level. I remember taking an intro zoology (freshman level) course while a university student back in the late 70s. The instructor was still using Haeckel’s(sp?) recapitualization theory as “proof” of evolution. Even at that time the theory had long been abandoned. Of course, that recapitualization was shown to be false didn’t invalidate evolution, but it was disturbing that it was still being used as evidence to support evolutionary theory.
