Be nice? On a Monday? LOL
"All expert agree that birds are related to theropod dinosaurs;"
Any time I read "all experts" on these threads, I become suspicious. I take that to mean if you disagree, you are not an expert. I would think "all" leaves no room for another opinion, which wouldn't be very scientific, would it?

The pendulum continues to swing. I had just about come to terms with the idea of feathered dinosaurs from an earlier thread. I kept envisioning a T-Rex as "Poultra" (ala Jimmy Neutron).

I'm pretty sure feathered dinosaurs existed. But this issue can be batted back and forth forever meaning more grants and research positions for scientists.
Jurassic Park was on TV last night. An adult version of the original book would be great

Carl Everett, when he played for the Red Sox, said he did not believe in evolution.
"What about the dinosaurs?", he was asked by a sports reporter.
His reply: "I ain't never seen one".

Bird flu wiped out the dinosaurs?
To: PatrickHenry
I don't have a dog in this hunt but I had a semi-interest in Ostriches a while back (hehe, nah, I didn't get in on the Ostrich raising fad) and that instead of "All experts agree that birds are related to theropod dinosaurs" there didn't seem to be one mind on the subject at all.
For instance I read that some experts thought that bird characteristics are also shared with crocodiles.
But this was a while back, do all experts now agree on this issue or is the writer stretching a point?

Ask Helen Thomas. She may show you hers.

Someone, I don't remember who, wrote a sci-fi novel to that effect.
The premise was along the lines of time travel being used to find out what got the dinos, lest something similar get us, and in the process a small dino is brought back, studied, then taken back to his home era having (unbeknownst to the scientist types) contracted parrot fever, or something like that.
So we killed the dinosaurs. Darn us.

I think we marched to class to that tune during a rainstorm at Fort Devens.

Fascinating and thanks for posting it. However, this paper must be a hoax of some sort. We've been told repeatedly that scientists don't allow any information to be presented that might conflict with existing theory. Is it possible that Feduccia, et el, did not get the memo from Conspiracy HQ?

"So we killed the dinosaurs. Darn us. " David Drake wrote that book, the Israelis kept trying to get to Germany in about '37 but could only go back really far to the Dinosaur era, Time Safari I think was the name.
