Dinosaur Feathers Found In Amber

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-think-I-saw-this-movie dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A stunning array of prehistoric feathers, including dinosaur protofeathers, has been discovered in Late Cretaceous amber from Canada. 'Protofeathers aren't known from any modern, existing groups of birds and therefore the most obvious interpretation is that they belong to dinosaurs,' said University of Alberta professor, Alexander P. Wolfe. The 78 to 79-million-year-old amber preserved the feathers in vivid detail, including some of their diverse colors."

    The Creation museum says that birds aren't related to dinosaurs.

    Six thousand years ago Washington was riding a dinosaur, so this makes no sense.

    This is all fake. Everyone knows that the earth didn't exist 79 million years ago. At best, 7 thousand years ago and man and dinosaur coexisted. Those feathers were obviously from the dinosaur being hunted for food. This is all a lie perpetuated by satan.

    Done laughing yet?
