There is no evidence of a transition from dino to bird
Scientific American admits Creationists Hit a Sore Spot - Michael Matthews @ AIG
Date: 04/09/2008	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Answers In Genesis responds to an article in Scientific American (SA). The SA article basically admits to many items creationists have been stating all along about a lack of transitional fossils showing feather development. SA gives several scenarios of what they think could happen but offer zero evidence for any of their ideas. Also delves into Evo-Devo regarding feather development.

The Dinosaur Next Door
Evidence of dinosaurs recorded in artwork of distant past - John Morris @ ICR
Date: 06/01/2008	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Below will be sites that show evidence of man and dinosaur living together. But, start with this one. Typical of ICR, dates are given for the making of pottery that have pictures of dinosaurs that date to hundreds of years ago. One of our very favorite pictures is of a Native American petroglyph discovered in the Grand Canyon in 1879. Evolutionists will plead that they were drawn by a person living around 1879, but these are the real thing. Keep in mind that the first dinosaur fossil was unearthed in 1858, just 21 years before the discovery of the Grand Canyon petroglyph. Any petroglyph less than 21 years old would be obvious.

DNA Matching of Dinosaur "Fossil" Soft Tissue with a Chicken
Tyrannosaurus rex: a big chicken? - David A. DeWitt, Ph.D
Date: 04/13/2007	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Researchers have sequenced some DNA from dinosaur soft tissue. It compares to chicken DNA with a similarity of 58%. But it was only 51% with frogs and newts. Human DNA is 81% similar to frogs. So, conclusions that 58% similarity is an argument that birds evolved from dinosaurs is poor at best. And don't forget that DNA should have completely fallen apart in just a few thousand years.

Dinosaur Fossils Part of Longtime Chinese Tonic
National Geographic News - Kevin Platt
Date: 07/13/2007	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Dinosaur bones are part of a tonic in China. The creationist point is that the bones should not have lasted millions of years. They should have broken down or mineralized in far less than a million years.

Research show assumptions about dinosaur feathers is false
Dino-bird evolution falls flat! - Jonathan Sarfati @ AIG / CMI

"Dinosaur Mummy" Found; Has Intact Skin, Tissue
National Geographic News - John Roach
Date: 12/03/2007	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: This is an incredible find! This fossil actually has the skin in the original 3-D shape, though color is gone. The creationist point is that the bones should not have lasted millions of years. They should have broken down or mineralized in far less than a million years.

Insect Attack May Have Finished Off Dinosaurs
Science Daily
Date: 01/04/2008	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: We thought a comet did it. Evidence for why it was NOT a comet is offered along with the new idea. This shows that all these things about the past we are taught as true are really just speculation.

Alleged ‘protofeathers’ fail under close scrutiny
Feathery flight of fancy - Shaun Doyle
Date: 05/25/2007	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Sinosauropteryx has been one of the stars of the evolutionary dino-to-bird story. The supposed feathers have now been shown to not be even close to feathers. Now it isn't even considered a transitional fossil. Several good links to other dinosaur pages.

Did Dinosaurs Turn Into Birds? A general look at the argument
Difficulties are ignored, but here you will see several - David Menton @ AIG
Date: 01/17/2008	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: This is a look at what the Bible and evolutionists conclude about dino to bird evolution. Several of the extreme difficulties are discussed.

A new transitional fossil that is really 100% bird
For the birds! - Answers Magazine
Date: 01/01/2007	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Short and sweet. The fossil is 100% bird but found in rock where a transitional fossil is expected. The hope trumps reality.

ANCIENT DINOSAUR DEPICTIONS
Genesis Park - Many artifacts from history that depict dinosaurs
Date: 04/09/2008	Technical Level: Low 1-2-3-4-5 Hi
Description: Many photos of pictographs, pottery and much more where man depicted dinosaurs long before the fist fossil was discovered in the 1800s. A few of the examples are disputed but most are not. We could go on and on, but instead will give several links here that add some dimension to the many pictures that show dinosaurs and man lived together. Dragons - Yes there is evidence of man and dragon living together Modern Sightings - take with a grain of salt, but another piece of the puzzle Pterosaur-like Creatures Reported in Papua New Guinea Cool page of photos and examples of early modern drawings that got it wrong, but the ancients got it right!
