Feathered T-Rex

I guess it comes as no surprise that I'm not one who supposes that dinosaurs evolved from birds, or vice versa, but this recent news story made me think... man... I'm glad there's no flock o' tyrannosauri flying through the air... busting power lines and destroying things with mega droppings, and preying on... everything!

And I thought this thread was going to be about Marc Bolan in a feather boa!

I'm curious, why not?

Okay... maybe it does come as a surprise... either way...

I'm still curious, however. While I believe that the disappearance of the Dinosaur wasn't because they all evolved into winging behemouths, the evolutionary record demonstrates that some animals were well along their way toward feathered flight, and recent fossil discovies of animals previously thought to be scaly have shown clear images of feathered aspects to their fossized anatomies....all in all, pretty cool stuff...that is, if you're in to paleontology.

Time to re-release Jurassic Park, with shots of the T. Rex preening its feathers in between trashing land-rovers.

For a long time, I just accepted the theory of evolution as gospel (pun intended), but now I'm actually not so sure I believe in it, at least not in the same way.

I reckon that's just how they drawed feathered dinosaurs back in the early 1400's.

While I do not support the theory of evolution, I do encourage the trashing of land rovers.

Theories are for sissies.......

I believe in the law of adaptation.
