That clinches it! The Earth is only 6000 years old and God must have created the fossils already in place in the rocks.
Convolution News... yeah right.
Seems they’ve never once looked at the leg of a large bird.
However, they pick more cherries from questionable sources than an entire immigrant labor force.
How timely—I was just reading my son a chapter in Dinosaurs of the Land, Sea, and Air about Archaeopteryx.
Ping!
Who would have thought.......?
"recently"????
How long has that fossil been around and someone is just getting around to examining it that closely?
Shades of Piltdown Man.
What’s really funny about this post is that creationists for years, including this very same Casey Luskin, have been challenging Archaeopteryx’s status as an ancestor of modern birds by promoting Alan Feduccia’s theory that it was a true bird already. Now all of a sudden it’s not an ancestor because it’s not *enough* of a bird. Thus we see the progress of creation “science”—to heck with consistency, we’ll just cherry-pick and nitpick!
Of course, either way we have an animal that grew like a dinosaur but had feathers like a bird. But no way is it a transitional, nuh-uh, couldn’t be.
Where is my AIDS thread you promised?
Interesting. Yet every show these days (about my whole lifetime) contiunues to tell us how exciting it is to see the birds outside our windows and know they really are dinosaurs. (They don’t seem to distinguish between birds and dinosaurs at all, which always seems a bit disingenuous to me.)
Still waiting for creationist researchers to explain how archaeopteryx can have flight feathers but not be a bird.
