If they're close relatives of chickens, do Tyrannosaurus Rex taste like...

Not really. Based on their anatomy it isn't very likely that they could run very fast. Unlike an Ostrich their thigh bones were too long in comparison to their shin bones. Also, with their tiny arms, they would have had a very difficult time getting back up if they fell. I think the current thought is that they were carrion eaters.
Big earth bound buzzards.

Some Russian scientists and a couple of dead American ones claim these are the sources of oil & natural gas and not reprocessed plankton etc from ancient oceans. The cool thing about this idea if true, is oil & natural gas are then renewable resources since these things exist deep in the earths crust at a high temperature and pressure and arent going away. It doesn't matter if oil and gas are continuing to be created, if we are using them up at a much higher rate than they are being made.

To this day, when I see water in a glass start to move, it freaks me out a little.

I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around the idea of feathered dinosaurs. I am so used to seeing them depicted as giant lizards. But, there it is.

I am assuming the first celled creatures were plants. How did they synthesize sunlight? More important how did the seed/spore or whatever know it needed specific nutrients to survive and grow at all,
much less, hmm, gonna need more energy that just this heat and on and on in the design phase of identifying need, environmental elements and deriving a solution?
Lots of data necessary as well as the need to process said data no matter how simple the organism.
In the beginning was the WORD....

There is no way to get to a single cell organism from nothing by “accident”.

When I was growing up there was no such thing as “scientific consensus”. That didn’t get invented till the modern liberal.
