Did dinosaurs have fur?

No. Scales, mostly. Some later ones had feathers. Some later yet are hard to tell from birds. Some later yet are in your backyard looking for worms.

If mammaries developed for some reason for some species, why not for another.

Mammals appear to be highly modified sweat glands. Ever see a bird sweat? Never mind Gilbert and Sullivan's "And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow! Oh willow! Tit willow! Tit willow . . ."

But algae and bacteria remain with us. And they can exists whereever more "advanced" lifeforms exists and in places they can't.

Yes, so? Have you studied anything about evolution outside of creationist/ID propaganda?

But you're speculating, Vade. You don't know for certain. And neither do I for that matter.

I grew up on evolution. It was taught me in my public schools as an established fact. i know the theory. I've become skeptical of it. I'm becoming more and more skeptical of it.

Some of the stuff I don't get jumped on for, it's a wonder. Mammaries . . . on the corners of my mind . . .

Always.
