BAMBIRAPTOR FEINBERGI, DEPICTED WITH
IMAGINARY FEATHERS
In 1994, another dino-bird claim was made
on behalf of a fossil called Bambiraptor feinbergi,
estimated to be 75 million years old. Found in the
Glacier National Park in northern Montana, the
fossil is 95% complete. Evolutionists promptly claimed
that it represents an intermediate form between dinosaurs
and birds. When the fossil, belonging to a dinosaur, was introduced as an
alleged dino-bird, the report admitted, “Feathers, however, have not yet
been found.” 183 Despite this reservation, the media drew the animal as a
feathered creature, and the missing details were added using plenty of
creative imagination.
The most evident objection to this so-called missing link is again, an
error in dating. This alleged intermediate form fossil is 75 million years
younger than Archaeopteryx, itself a species of flying bird. This fossil is
therefore a specimen that demolished the ancestral relationship claimed
by evolutionists. In the same way that this fossil provides no evidence for
evolution, it also demolished the ancestral relationship claimed by evolu-
tionists. According to Ohio University professor of zoology John Ruben:
A point that too many people always ignored, however, is that the
most birdlike of the dinosaurs, such as Bambiraptor and Velociraptor,
lived 70 million years after the earliest bird, Archaeopteryx. So you
have birds flying before the evolution of the first birdlike dinosaurs.
We now question very strongly whether there were any feathered
dinosaurs at all. What have been called feathered dinosaurs were
probably flightless birds. 184
Evolutionists use a few bird-like characteristics as grounds for their
preconceived interpretations. Yet the effort of building a line of descent
based on similarities is full of contradictions that evolutionists cannot
explain. Whenever evolutionists construct an alleged evolutionary rela-
tionship between clearly different living things based on similar struc-
