Did Dinosaurs Turn Into Birds?

...

Having a true bird appear before alleged feathered dinosaurs, no mechanism to change scales into feathers, no mechanism to change a reptilian lung into an avian lung, and no legitimate dinosaurs found with feathers are all good indications that dinosaurs didn’t turn into birds...

There were a gazillion different kinds and sizes of dinosaurs. They all tasted like chicken (and you'll just have to trust me on that one).

Pretty obvious where the birds came from!

Well seeing how we are finding T-Rex bones with the soft tissue still inside, perhaps we should make some dinosaur broth and see if it tastes like chicken:

Sort of. Odds are good.

How did the T-Rex bones and soft tissues and red blood vessels get preserved like this after hundreds of millions of years ? Curiouser and curiouser.

Did dinosaurs become birds? If they did, it certainly made a big improvement. Now if we could pin wings on Democrats and shrink their brains and put them in cages and sic our dogs on them and suck them into jet engines...

Actually, I think it’s something like 65 million years ago. That of course makes it much more plausible. LOL

Free Republic, your all anti-evolution, all the time, web resource.

For a minute there I thought I could read through 20 topics without seeing another one of the incessant anti-evolution posts.

But repetition does not equal good science.

Nor are there enough hours in the day to keep trying to fight the same battles.

[[Did Dinosaurs Turn Into Birds?]]

Of course they did! Don’t you know that they ‘NEEDED’ to jump in the air to catch flies and mosquitos because apparently they forgot how to forage o nthe ground while every other ground dwelling creature survived just fine eation carion and plants? These poor critters were so hungry, and desperate to lift off hte ground that htey waited aroudn for millions of years until evolution violated chemical, biological, natural, and mathematical laws, and ‘created’ wings for them so they could leap into the air and catch htose june bugs, and all the while htey waited for this ‘necissity’ to happen, they sat aroudn in envy watchign every other living ground dweller eat ot their hearts content.

It was a vicious world of envy, mocking, and ridicule back then, and the dinos got so fed up with being hte butt of the jokes that they evolved wings just to escape the ridicule- Everyone knows that!

P.S Dino ‘feathers’ are not infact feathers and could not support flight, they were modified scales, much different than feathers- but that fact doesn’t stop a macroevolutionist from declaring dinos flew, because i ntheir world, nature is capable of the impossible

So why do you repeat silly accusaitons without ever addressign the scientific articles posted? Quick, tell us, the world is waitign with baited breath

No no no! Notcurious at all- For you see, IF you intelligentl construct events fro mthe past, you can come up with some convoluted scheme whereby those soft itssues could be preserved after all- of course, conditions in the real world don’t bend to the wild imaginations of those hwo dismiss everythign presented them, but thqt doesn’t stop the handwavers for one second.

I thin kthe reality is though that for millions of years,they were enclosed in siplock bags, and by hte time researchers got their, the plastic had degraded only just recently, leaving no trace, and that dear friends is how the tissue got preserved- a little known scientific FACT

NOVA on PBS is running a program on just this subject within a few days. Then we’ll see how those dinos leaped into the air and flailed away until feathers grew.
