Or do you mean “hollow” like our own bones, where our long bones, and some others have a center that is filled with marrow? So is it your contention that the bones of dinosaurs were very close to the bones of birds? It’s odd that this information hasn’t been more widely circulated."

Not odd that it hasn't been circulated in 'Creation Science' circles at all, I suppose.

What’s odd is that you are the only person who has this information. Last I checked, dinosaur bones are just as solid as our own bones, and this includes the therapods.

It it the microvascularization found in these bones that leads to the conclusion that they are related to birds, not hollowness.

It is the number of cavities of the skull (not like the empty spaces WITHIN your own) of some therapods, as well as the light structure of the tail, that leads to this same conclusion.

You take an inch, and stretch it into a mile, then scorn those who insist on using the ruler.

You are one of the faithful, not so much certain, as convinced. The facts don’t concern you, just the conclusions.

Also, I don’t know if birds and dinosaurs are related. Though there does seem to be some evidence of this, it is far from certain that birds are their ancestors, or merely a parallel species.

You, on the other hand, are an arrogant, rude and mean-spirited jerk. I’m not at all surprised that you are an anti-Christian Darwinist.
