They used the proteins from the same dino fossil that the creationists say is proof dinosaurs lived only a few years ago... to provide evidence of evolution.

Talk about bending the needle on the ol' irony meter.

Still haven't seen any half chicken/half dino's running around! If evolution is truth then some abberations would exist! Same thing for other species! Adaption maybe,such as the American indians lack of facial hair because of plucking and scraping from their ancestors! Just food for thought and my own 2 cents worth,if its worth 2 cents!

What a shameful legacy from the infamous evil killer of old! A chicken! T Rex flew the coop and his offspring are left with only tiny little peckers.

So which came first? The Chicken? Or the Egg?
T Rex for crissake! Colonel Sanders is rolling in his grave behind the chicken factory.

Anyone for some Jurassic Fried ( or
Grilled ) Chicken? JFC just doesn't
have the same ring to it.

Mastadons to elephants is ALOT easier
to believe. Just because they ( T-Rex & chickens ) have similar skeletal structures doesn't make it so.
Worms have a very similar body shape to snakes. But that don't make 'em cousins.

They must of brought the bird flu with them from eating to many birds and chickens before evolving.

If fish evolved into creeping things that evolved into animals that evolved into birds, etc.,
why are there still fish, creeping things, birds, etc?

because, they think humans are stupid enough to believe them. We are educated to be smart, but, fooled. That why we have April fools day.

Hm! could be a fish, the frog is born a polliwog first, before getting legs. or could be a 2 legged sea monster, in which the polliwog receives 2 legs, or could be the easter bunny, after the polliwog gets all 4 legs and hops around. Who knows, all I know a frog is kissed by a princess and it turns into a human.
