So, in truth, they are just feathers and they have no idea what they were on. It proves nothing except that a feathered creature fot a little to close to the sticky amber.

Sounds like a reasonable summary of what happened.
All the rest is *could have, maybe, plausible, suggest*.....

You and I posted at the same time. Your topic was this and my topic was Eliot Spitzer’s prostitute.
Your post was more important to world history. I have always been fascinated by paleontology.
My post got 1000 hits right away. :-)

Just remember, every time you fill a gap, there are two new gaps on either side. The gaps are winning.

LOL - exactly what I was thinking.....this is hilarious! 100 million years old...right. And could be “dino feathers”....or....it....could....be.....BIRD....feathers!!!!
Duh. Bingo.
They are SOOOO desperate to find the “gap” half dinosaur, half bird creatures that do not exist.....they make fools of themselves.
And we who believe in Creation / Intelligent Design / are said to have the “faith” based view of how animals/plants/people came into being on this earth....
It takes a flying leap of faith to see anything but BIRD FEATHERS here.....

Yes, but you don’t understand that that’s how we do science in the modern age.
We don’t need no steenkin’ testable results or anything that’s falsifiable. All we need is a bunch of guys (or gals) sitting in a room talking about what would be the most likely outcome to satisfy our predetermined conclusions and voila! it becomes unarguable fact.
Got it?

"

They could clone some DNA from that amber to see what the creature really was like.
On further reflection...better nix that proposal.
