Why is the Claim that Dinosaurs Evolved into Birds an Unscientific Myth?

this recently discovered fossil, the breastbone that was long as-
sumed by evolutionists to be missing was discovered to have
existed after all. This fossil was described in the journal Nature
as follows:

The recently discovered seventh specimen of the
Archaeopteryx preserves a partial, rectangular sternum, long
suspected but never previously documented. This attests to

its strong flight muscles, but its capacity for long flights is
questionable. 30

This discovery invali-
dated the mainstay of the
claims that Archaeopteryx was
a half-bird that could not fly
properly.
Morevoer, the structure 55

of the bird's feathers became
one of the most important
pieces of evidence confirming
that Archaeopteryx was a flying
bird in the true sense. The

asymmetric feather structure
of Archaeopteryx is indistin-
guishable from that of modern birds, and indicates that it could
fly perfectly well. As the eminent paleontologist Carl O.
Dunbar states, "Because of its feathers, [Archaeopteryx is] dis-
tinctly to be classed as a bird." 31 Paleontologist Robert Carroll

further explains the subject:
The geometry of the flight feathers of Archaeopteryx is iden-

tical with that of modern flying birds, whereas nonflying
