Velociraptor Had Feathers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the well-and-wings-to-put-them-on dept.

Spy der Mann writes "A new look at some old bones have shown that velociraptor, the dinosaur made famous in the movie Jurassic Park, had feathers. A paper describing the discovery, made by paleontologists at the American Museum of Natural History and the Field Museum of Natural History, appears in the Sept. 21 issue of the journal Science."

  1. sidebashing creation again? :D by g4b · · Score: -1, Troll

    God had a bit of fun while letting birds evolve, just to make our children happy in Dinosaur Parks, so what?

    Even if theologically I can only add, that man was created after the mammal after the bird, and philosophically God never seems to be the guy, who just drops something finished from heavens, like some Software Giants try to, it also could be possible that he had some private contract with Spielberg.

    Or he wanted to make Spielberg happy.

    My theory is simpler.
    Adam pointed to the Velociraptor and said: "big tasty chicken". blame him. He just ate them all.
