Dinosaurs Evolving To Chickens

[Nifty-Chicken]

Science is pretty cool, and this video did a great job showing the connections between dinos and chickens!

I especially liked the bits on flight and feathers!

Sorry, not buying it. There are dinosaurs with neither wings nor feathers. There are dinosaurs with feathers in weird places on their bodies. And there were flying dinosaurs, aka prehistoric birds. The evidence does not exist to prove that dinosaurs with no feathers evolved into dinosaurs with some feathers, which then evolved into "feathered dinosaurs," or birds. They are three separate and disparate kinds of animal. To say otherwise is akin to saying there are deer, there are bighorn sheep and there are moose, and the deer are evolving into bighorn sheep which are then evolving into moose. They are three different kinds of animals. Period. One is not "becoming" another. Chickens are birds. They did not start out as something else. Any similarities or likenesses to any other animals can be explained by the fact that they all come from the hand of the same Designer.

Chickens - day 5 (flying fowl)
Dinosaurs - day 6 (land animals)

They used to teach thatt the little three-toed horse was an ancestor of today's modern horse and zebra. More recently it's been learned that the single-toed modern horse existed at the same time as the three-toed horse. Oops!

If people are going to cite the book of Genesis as a source here, I'd like to know who wrote it, for source evaluation. Any offers from the believers?

Moses is generally believed to have written the book of Genesis.

I really dig this study! It's so cool they use their wings to pull themselves in and not to fly!
The connections are really cool and I'd encourage anyone to check out a Hoatzin chick (they have little wing fingers) and a Red-Legged Seriema foot (they have a special raptor toe) to see some dinosaur traits in modern birds.
Also when it comes to flight, people seem to forget to mention how many mammals and reptiles have developed flight too! Bats, squirrles, lizards... you could have a lot of fun trying to understand why animals develop traits.
Also check out the Snail Kite if you want to see possible evolution seen in our time!

Thank you for sharing!

According to Wikipedia,
"Tradition credits Moses as the Torah's author. However, there is scholarly consensus that the Book of Genesis was composed several centuries later, after the Babylonian captivity, possibly in the fifth century BC.[3] Based on the scientific interpretation of archaeological, genetic, and linguistic evidence, mainstream biblical scholars consider Genesis to be primarily mythological rather than historical."

Stay on topic, folks. We have plenty of other Theology threads. Go there.
