How many organisms that have wings and feathers but no heads do you know?
"So, given they must have worked really hard to find the skull bones that they were certain would be there, why don't you see that, for bones that are easily mistaken, they would have "found" the bones to be exactly what they were looking for them to be?
Which bones would that be? I see nowhere in the news blurb that out of 5 specimens only a few hard to identify (or easily mistaken) bones were found.
"You will find what you are looking for. When you know what the results are you need, there are many examples of otherwise good scientists who manage to FIND those results, whether they are correct or not. Just human nature.
Then again many finds are completely by accident and many that are found where expected to be found are unmistakable.
"Maybe the early human hunters collected their heads.
"Oh wait, there couldn't be humans there, this is before "65 million years ago" when we all KNOW that a cataclysmic event made all those pesky creatures we can't explain disappear.
That cataclysmic event, one of many such events, did not kill off all species. Both birds and mammals faired much better than the reptiles.
"I loved how they brought that back in with their "we just don't know yet" how these early ducks managed to survive that event to evolve into modern ducks.
How is not knowing how the event happened equivalent to not knowing that it happened?
"Maybe Noahzoa put them on his ark.
Who?
I think he thinks paleontologists work like Calvin where he and Hobbes put together a fossilized dinosaur out of plastic cups, plates, and utensils. Sure, they look like wings and feathers, but are they really?
I don't know about wings and feathers, but you could start with the example of diplocaudus (tails on each end). ;-)
Cheers!
