If you wanted to design a perfect missing link between reptiles and birds, Archaeopteryx would be it.

And so it was designed, by a rabid evolutionist, out of whole cloth. That "fossil" (which had been slathered all over school texts for at least half a century)was determined to be a fraud in 1975 (after it was finally given something like an authentic peer reveiw, some 75 plus years after the fact of its discovery, and that only by accident, as the authenticity wasn't in question at the time, merely whether or not the supposed reptile-bird transition was a good flier, or a poor one...)

LOL!

Even Answers in Genesis doesn't buy that.

They want to believe it's a bird, but that's a side issue -- they admit it's not a fraud.

And btw, there are seven known specemins. Is there an Archaeopteryx factory out there somewhere?

Bullpuckey.

There are 7 separate Archaeopteryx fossils ; they're all entirely legitimate.

Yet another creationist falsehood. If anyone bothered to keep count, just from the whoppers you guys have told on FR, we'd be in the thousands.
