Dinosaurs stopped evolving millions of years earlier than thought

[EternalOptimist]

Er! who moved the bird fossils to layers above the dinosaurs then ?

well, if birds came first


1 birds would be exclusively below
2 they would coexist
3 dinosaurs die out
4 birds would be exclusively above

so would that answer the question ?. why are bird fossils found above dinosaur fossils if birds came first.

I think so

[ThomasSoerensen]

Of course birds were the first. They are the only ones that could fly here from other planets.

1. why are no bird fossils found below
2.



And don't quote the nut fringe that claim they evolved from reptiles prior to the dinosaurs. there is no fossil evidence whatsoever.

Ah , I cant answer your questions with any authority. I am aware of a Birds Came First hypothesis, which I happen to find quite weighty. Thats about as far as I am prepared to go

Guesswork

[EternalOptimist]

Guesswork

its a hypothesis, full of guesswork. its gets put forward as a new idea.
people look at it and say ' wow , that would also explain x y and z'
others look at it and say 'no way, what about a b and c'

If it survives a while, it becomes a theory, and it makes claims.

then its your chance to demolish it, by refuting the claims.



At the moment BCF is a hypothesis, it stands up quite well. When it gains a bit more status and becomes a mainstream theory, maybe you will demolish it for us?

When are they going to produce fossil evidence?
Of all the billions of tons of rock and earth moved, of all the millions of fossils unearthed, where is the authentic fossil evidence to support the Hypothesis?

If my palaeontologist mate is down the pub I'll ask him about it - he's supposed to be one of the world's leading experts on something or other to do with dinosaur fossils, so he'd probably know.

er, confused.
where did they talk about fossil evidence ?

I think you misunderstand the way science move forward. They dont HAVE to produce anything.

maybe they will make an exception for you if you ask nicely

Sorry EO, I stand corrected
