Archaeopteryx


                                             Misconception





                                             Evolutionists point to the Archaeopteryx fossil as the
                                             only evidence to support their claim that "birds
                                             evolved from dinosaurs". The latest discoveries,
                                             however, prove that this creature is simply an extinct
           Areconstruction
           of Archaeopteryx                  bird species.



                             he most important intermediate form candidate that evolutionists refer to is a 150
                             million-year-old fossil bird called Archaeopteryx. Evolutionists claim that this fossil bird
                     T was a semi-dinosaur which could not fly properly.
                     This evolutionist claim proven false over and over again, collapsed for good with an
                     Archaeopteryx fossil unearthed in 1992.
                     The absence of a "sternum", that is the chest bone, in this creature, which is essential for flight
                     muscles, was held up as the most important evidence that this bird could not fly properly. The
                     seventh Archaeopteryx fossil unearthed in 1992 revealed that the chest bone that evolutionists
                     have long assumed to be missing actually existed. The presence of this bone proved that
                     Archaeopteryx was a flying bird.  34
