There is no evidence.

Anyone else who knows their ass from their elbow would say the same thing, I just got here first. Sorry if my knowing the difference between a belief based on faith and one based on evidence makes you whine and cry about me.

Incorrect. You probably aren't aware of the evidence because it contradicts Republican drivel, that's all.

Science does often get co-opted into political arguments and campaigns, as does religion. Neither belongs there, and it is always done for self serving ends.

Often

You're being modest.

Science asks questions that may never be answered....Religion has answers that may never be questioned.

Bristol University | News | July: Fossils found in Siberia suggest all dinosaurs had feathers


Are they birds or not?

Decades ago, paleontologists found out that all birds today are descendents of the dinosaurs. This isn't new knowledge.

So, what DO archaeologists know about dinosaurs, LOL.

Archaeologists don't study dinosaurs.

But they probably have known for some time that birds are closely related cousins of the dinos.

Carry on.

A new dinosaur species — one with feathers — has been discovered in Russia. The finding could mean that feathers were more widespread in dinosaurs than previously thought, the researchers say.

Everyone has known for some time.
