“Not even if they have feathers?” They have any?

At least one of them did.

I believe the correct term is “proto or primitive feathers” or “feather-like structures”. Of course “collagen fibers” fits even better according to comments in an article in National Geographic News about “Feathered” Dinosaur Was Bald, Not Bird Ancestor, Controversial Study Says.”

Did they have any drawings or artist's renderings?

Okay, I'll do that.

Did I make a mistake telling you what I knew about the Creation Museum when you asked?

They have one, “collagen fibers” and all. “Deceptive propaganda”, or illustration?

It’s O.K., I don’t think any less of you as a person and we can keep it between us (with maybe a few insomniacs).

The double post is an OOPS.

Even though it’s clearly labeled “artist’s rendering”?

Oh, absolutely! The rendering is just a part of the whole. NatGeo and propaganda is like grits and gravy.

So it's "propaganda" or "illustration" depending on who drew it.

Let’s not jump to unwarranted conclusions. Unlike the Darwinists I don’t automatically dismiss what is said on the basis of it’s source.

But as I said before, images of any kind are always part of the whole.

I'm trying to find something in your explanations that doesn't warrant that conclusion, but I'm not having much luck. You've said you're only interested in discussing art as propaganda for evolution, but not as propaganda for anything else.

If you wish to discuss propaganda in general I’ll be glad to do so. My earlier comment was an attempt to stick to the article but since we’ve strayed a bit from that my objection is really invalid now.

What examples or sources of propaganda do have in mind?

But it is unusual to be so caught up that you don’t recgonize what goes on around you. To say the least.

I recognize "what's going on around me" well enough to know I don't care to participate in it.

She knows where to find me if she wants to talk about it. I don’t owe you any explanations.

You made the (empty) accusation, so to to say you’re somehow above the fray is meaningless. I don’t care if you explain it or not, it is what it is.
