Evolutionist media immedi-
ately give certain bird-like
features to biased interpreta-
tions. The fossil Bambiraptor
feinbergi, claimed to be an inter-
mediate form between dinosaurs
and birds, was depicted as a
feathered reptile in media illustra-
tions. However, there is no
evidence that this creature ever
had feathers.
tures, they immediately close the subject by describing it as “parallel
evolution.” They claim that living things with similar complex organs
but with no ancestors in common, evolved independently. However,
since they cannot account for the origin of these complex organs in even
one living thing, their statements that these organs supposedly evolved
several times presents a serious predicament.
Alan Feduccia states that certain similarities between birds and
dinosaurs do not show any evolutionary relationship between the two
groups:
Bambiraptor is a small dinosaur, but it does have a number of bird-
like features, as do many other forms. However there is nothing
special about hollow bones, as some mammals and frogs have them.
The problem, of course, is that Bambiraptor is some 80 million years
beyond Archaeopteryx, and yet is claimed to be the dinosaur most
close to bird ancestry. That alone should be a red flag, and a warn-
ing that the situation is far more complicated than suspected. 185
