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."
Dinosaurs rumored to have had superior grammar skills when compared to slashdot editors!

... who said pigs couldn't fly?
Proof by very large bribes. QED.
Does this mean that the chicken in the freezer is even older than the package says? ;-)

birds, bats, insects, spaghetti monsters....yup!
I hate to break it to you, but IRC commands don't work on Slashdot.
didn't evolve on this planet
make a few throw away prototypes before marketing the real thing. Fooey to all those 'evolutionists' and their 'science', I say!
It's just God messing with our heads.
Didn't you read that bit in the bible? In Genesis? In that footnote 4 or 5 pages in?
"And the Lord brought forth the remains of many, many varied animals and plants, different to what existed on the newly-fashioned earth. And lo, He crafted a fossil record that suggested they did indeed exist far in the past, and planted it so that men of Science, with their need to understand with Hard Facts and Reason and Logic, would have something to explain the Creation with. For the Lord looks after all His children, even those of little Faith."
It's all in there people. You just have to read and interpret it a little bit.
And change a few words here and there. And possibly fragment and rearrage sections. But it's all in there.
You are in a twisty maze of processor lines, all alike.
There is a lot of hype here.
No, fool, he was trying to save time and effort by typing "/me" instead of "I".

Evolution is nothing but a theory, just as is gravity. Theory means "not true". The real basis for flight is God's divine will expressed through specific cases where He suspends Intelligent Falling. Flight is one of the most clear examples that proves Intelligent Falling, and that the "theory" of gravity is just bunk foisted on us by a bunch of scientists who want to destroy God.

The movie also used DNA from insects tapped in amber. ...or is the capital A in Amber because they found bugs in some girl named Amber? ;)
Looks like Photoshoposaurus.
When did the dinosaurs develop a military, and what happened the first time they thought about the evolution of flight?
Actually it was intelligently designed three times... birds, insects and bats. It was unintelligently designed once as well, in 1909.
shut up, you stupid faggot

I thought Buitreraptor gonzalezorum meant "Lesbian dinosaur that looks like Gonzo" (from the Muppets).
I could be wrong however.

Viola, better medicines against tapeworms.
Unless you usually greet your conclusions with a stringed instrument, I think the word you were looking for is "voila". If, however, you *do* happen to regularly punctuate your sentences orchestrally, then I duly apologise.
Neither did anything else, you anti-christian, christian-hating, un-christian, disbelieving, member of the "evolution" conspiracy. ;)
You're making me nostalgic...
I think we can keep recursing like this until someone returns 1
