contrary, the fossil record proves that today's modern birds and some
archaic birds such as Archaeopteryx actually lived together at the same
time. It is true that some of these bird species, such as Archaeopteryx and
Confuciusornis, have become extinct, but the fact that only some of the
species that once existed have been able to survive down to the present
day does not in itself support the theory of evolution.

Archaeoraptor: The Dino-Bird Hoax

Unable to find what they were looking for in Archaeopteryx, the
advocates of the theory of evolution pinned their hopes on some other
fossils in the 1990s and a series of reports of so-called "dino-bird" fossils
appeared in the world media. Yet it was soon discovered that these claims
were simply misinterpretations, or, even worse, forgeries.
The first dino-bird claim was the story of "feathered dinosaur fossils
unearthed in China," which was put forward in 1996 with a great media
fanfare. A reptilian fossil called Sinosauropteryx was found, but some
evolutionist paleontologists who examined the fossil said that it had bird
feathers, unlike known reptiles. Examinations conducted one year later,
however, showed that the fossil actually had no structure similar to a
bird's feather. A Science article titled "Plucking the Feathered Dinosaur"
