I see...so you're admitting that you exercise some amount of faith when it comes to the issue of the evolution of feathers?

Correct. For example, I have 'faith' that fossil finds are actually as they appear to be, and weren't manufactured by some divine agent Last Thursday and planted in various labs along with the memories of them for the amusement of said agent.

Is not the theory of gravity "conclusively proven"?

Nope. Theories in science are never proven.

Aside from your disdain for my "conclusively proven" statement, can you provide the evidence that demonstrates that feathers evolved on dinosaurs and how?

You could start for information about the evolution of feathers.

Ah yes...TalkOrigins (the cut and paste source for the list-o-links).

Your evidence for the evolution of feathers consists of:

"In past times, feathers were probably first used as insulation [which is highly debated in the scientific community] and were probably hair-shaped...At some point, some of the proto-birds developed branching projections from the early feathers...The next step was probably selection for barbules...Fast forward a couple of hundred million years of the same variation, mutation and selection and you end up with modern bird feathers.

"Probably, probably, probably"....

What would [not probably] happen, if one dropped a bust of Darwin off of the ivory tower at Darwin Central? It would [not probably] fall to the ground at a rate that is predictable and provable.

The theory of gravity is a good scientific theory.

However, the "theory" of the evolution of feathers consists of conjecture and assumed conclusions and has nowhere near the weight nor scientific support.

Your mentioned divine agent theory [which I am not a proponent of] seems almost as weighty as your evolution of feathers theory...probably.
