Dinosaur Eggs Not Bird-Like After All

by Tim Clarey, Ph.D. *

Evidence for Creation › Evidence from Science › Evidence from the Life Sciences › Life Was Created Fully Functional › Variation Is Limited within Kinds

Prevailing secular theory considers birds to be living dinosaurs, but new science is hatching to support the stark differences between these creatures. The data demonstrate dinosaurs were more likely cold-blooded like all modern reptiles.

Dr. Gregory Erickson of Florida State University and his colleagues from the University of Calgary and the American Museum of Natural History recently published their findings on dinosaur incubation periods in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.1 They found that dinosaur eggs took roughly twice as long to hatch as comparable bird eggs.

How did they determine the exact incubation times? The team discovered that embryonic dinosaurs had incremental layers of von Ebner gland protein in their developing teeth that formed growth lines, much like tree rings.1

Sure hope his house was somewhere very warm and humid.

I have to maintain mine carefully so they don’t get sick.

They need hot and humid and never get to go a’viking around the house.

This is about the level of evo-"science" that exists out there.

It's mass delusion.

Not really.

I once had a small cat and had to give him back to his breeder because he proved to be a danger to my snakes.

Boas and pythons are virtually defenseless against attacks by just about everything.

I do not allow small children to hold my snakes, either.

They tend to be too rough and snakes are fragile.
