Dinosaur Forces Rethink Of Flight's Evolution
gollum123 writes "The BBC reports that a small dinosaur with a long, slender snout and wing-like limbs is forcing a rethink on bird evolution." From the article: "The 90 million-year-old reptile, called Buitreraptor gonzalezorum, belongs to the same sickle-clawed group of dinosaurs as Velociraptor and feathered dinosaurs from China. It may provide tantalising evidence that powered flight evolved twice. One theory suggests the lineage of dinosaurs the new animal belonged to, the dromaeosaurs, originated in the Cretaceous Period (144 to 65 million years ago). But this discovery suggests their lineage can be traced further back in time, to the Jurassic (206 to 144 million years ago), experts say."
Hmm, I was sure we had debunked this whole "evolution" fad thoroughly already? I mean, why would God make all those creationists say that evolution is wrong if evolution actually is correct? That just wouldn't happen. Wake up, people!
The view was horrible and the smell was even worse; Julie severely regretted becoming a proctologist.
Somewhere in the world, a science teacher just became depressed and doesn't know why.
