When scientists stop finding evidence that proves their grand theory is a fraud. This eliminates the dinosaur to bird evolution supposedly proved by the feathered dinosaur. That fraud has been supposed proof for decades, never mind.

Evolution is the most destructive religion in the history of man.

From the article:

Dinosaur-Feather Evolution Still Up in the Air

More interesting, according to Sullivan, is what Sciurumimus means for how dinosaurs evolved feathers.

Scientists had previously thought that feathers evolved in coelurosaurs. But Sciurumimus is “the first clear evidence” that feathers predated those birdlike dinosaurs, Sullivan said.

According to the study authors, this “obviously” suggests that feathered dinosaurs had a common ancestor, which passed the trait on to each branch of the dinosaur family tree.

“I would say that this is an obvious possibility, rather than an obvious conclusion,” Sullivan said.

Although the feathers look similar among different dinosaur groups, it's still possible the trait evolved independently, without a common ancestor.

“We paleontologists are going to need to find more fossils—of things even less closely related to birds than Sciurumimus—to be sure.”
