I have stated that reasoning from an evolutionary framework says that dinosaurs did not have mammary glands.

Like I said you have no proof. You are using circular reasoning. You say since evolution is true, and evolution says dinosaurs did not have mammary glands therefore dinosaurs did not have mammary glands. That is proof of nothing. Circular reasoning proves nothing except either lack of analytic powers or firm adherence to an irrational ideology.

Therefore as I said, paleontology is bunk. It cannot answer the questions which it proclaims to be able to answer. Since the development of mammals and mammalian features is one of the most important evolutionary events and it cannot give proof of it in any way - paleontology is bunk.

I have not read one source that addresses the question of mammaries on dinos. For all that, I know what evolution must certainly say on the subject. I reason this by applying the model. The answer has to be: No mamms on a dino.

Again, how am I doing this and where does ID offer anything comparable?

Let me know if you give up, but anyone who claims to know enough about evolution to reject it should at least be able to reproduce the reasoning I use but have not stated. (Although I've certainly given you some big hints. Anyone could read the thread and get it if they didn't know.)
