hip bones) hip bones)
Evolutionists use the differences in dinosaurs’ hip bones as a basis for evolutionist propa-
ganda. However, these hip-bone differences offer no support for the claim that dinosaurs
were the ancestors of birds, because of the too many other anatomical differences between
the two groups.
As with their structure and shape, the arrangement of bones in a rep-
tile’s body is also completely different from that in birds. It is quite
impossible that a dinosaur’s skeleton gradually transformed into an
avian one suited to independent flight. First of all, the bones in both
groups, dinosaurs and birds, are located where they are for a specific
purpose. Their shapes too have been created according to need. Skull
size, number of vertebrae, leg length, foldable wing bones, the breast-
bone necessary for flight—have all been created in line with birds’ life-
styles. If there had been stage-by-stage mutations, as evolutionists claim,
then we should come across a great many deformed skeletons. For
example, in birds, one wing might be more developed than the other, or
one arm might have been long and the other short. Balance might have
been impaired by a large head on a small body, or toes pointing in the
