Integrity experiment for you: If you were challenged to compose a straight forward, non loaded hypothetical question which did not contain an assumed false premise, would you be able to do so and, if so, what would it look like?

Huh? I said "if birds evolved from dinosaurs." "If" statements can involve both true and false conditions: "If I were a rich man," "if wishes were horses." That's why I called it a thought experiment--I guessed that you don't believe birds evolved from dinosaurs. Are you saying you can't answer the question because you can't even imagine that situation?

It's really not a loaded question.

Okay, you go first.

If god created a prehistoric bird which He prompted men to later name Archaeopteryx upon finding fossils, thereof, what would it look like?
