Hey Allmendream......

Long time since you’ve laid an ad hominem on me.

There are many issues with the whole dinosaur/bird thing.... here’s a big problem that evolutionists never address:

There are real bird fossils that have been found in much older strata than Archaeopteryx. How could he have been transitional between dinos and birds if birds already existed? Simple question that deserves an explanation.... perhaps you have one Allmendream?

Where is the evidence for actual bird fossils older than Archeopteryx? Hard to address an issue when I don't know what you are talking about. Please provide a link for the evidence you wish to discuss.

And if Archeopteryx is a dead end with derived traits from a transitional between dinosaurs and birds - the existence of more fully formed actual “birds” slightly (as these things go) before it evolved would hardly be surprising.

Kind of like the existence of Neanderthal at the same time as modern man. Or the existence of Australopithecus Robustus at the same time as Australopithecus Afarensis.

The fact that reality doesn't comport well with a creationists simplistic misunderstanding of what evolution actually is isn't a problem with the theory of evolution through natural selection of genetic variation.

You really shouldn’t argue with a religious fanatic.
