> They show how these dinosaurs looked ( as far as color of skin and eyes ) and interacted with each other and even how they sounded and pass it off as fact.

Well, just showing bones would be boring.

In any event: skin color can be reasonably guessed at based on modern examples. Behavior can be estimated based on things like bone damage, nesting sites, trackways, etc. Sound can be estiamted based on lung capacity, nasal passages, throat geometry, etc.

I thought this thread would be about Islamists and the Air Force.

> yet their view is little more than faith itself.

Well, if one defines faith as "hundreds of years of science and tens of millions of fossils," then, sure. But then, assumging he sun will come up again is just "faith" too, then.

With the earths gravitational pull air density, etc., the largest a bird can get is roughly in the 35 lb range. And then they have a hard time doing much more than staying airborne.

Maybe things were different back then.

"An eagle killed.."

There are some middle eastern types that have the same trouble today.

Shame on them for conducting science. They should be content reading only the bible.

Isn't this like really old news? Didn't we already theorize/know this?

>>Running out of good topics for a Phd diseration, maybe?<<

It sounds like these guys probably have Phds. It sounds more like they are seeking research funding.
