Reply to: Dinosaurs stopped evolving millions of years earlier than thought

So basically, T Rex was just a big chicken with attitude

Turned out to be a turkey in the long term...

It seems that lots of dinosaurs were feathered. The friend I referred to earlier (who, a quick Googling reveals, prefers to be described as a "paleotechnician") often deals with feathered dinosaur fossils, frequently still in the egg

Velociraptor is also now known to have been feathered.

How do explain Jurassic Park then?

I was going to ask you that

Besides, they got the size of the velociraptor wrong. It was smaller than other dromaeosaurids like Deinonychus and Achillobator, and was only the size of a turkey. Velociraptor is also now known to have been feathered.

They sulk if they don't!

[SizeZero]

birds came first

[HairyArsedBloke]

Don't you guys know where the birds came from?

I have two words for you: Dolmansaxlil Shoe Corporation. They are the reason why birds evolved.

[Diver]

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

Sorry EO, I stand corrected

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?

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

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.

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?

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

[EternalOptimist]

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.
