Scientific American tells us: On November 24, 1887, naturalist/paleontologist Harry Govier Seeley stood before London’s Royal Society to make one of his most important contributions to paleontology. His paper was “On the Classification of the Fossil Animals commonly named Dinosauria” – the terrible lizards being exhumed in greater number and variety than anyone had anticipated. Editor's Comment: The discovery of dinosaurs scientised the Pagan myths of Egypt, where it is said life evolved from seaweed in the Nile. When they found these amazing animals unlike anything living today they claimed that this showed that dinosaurs evolved into today's animals. This was based on the misconception that the differences did not represent change in the morphology, but rather, they had become extinct, while some survived. They were thinking materialistic , rather than spiritual. They made death into the creator and forgot that death is an enemy and the penalty for sin. The Bible sa...

Paleontologists have discovered what they call a dinosaur tail encased in amber with juvenile feathers. And it is helping scientists to make up stories about how feathers evolved. "A lot of what we know about the evolution of feathers we've pieced together from two-dimensional data," Alan Turner, a paleontologist at Stony Brook University, tells The Christian Science Monitor. Most ancient feathers are preserved in compression fossils, formed in shale where preserved material is flattened in the sediment. But living organisms are not flat. So "having something three-dimensional like this is nice because the three-dimensional geometry is preserved." The amber specimen is described in a technical paper published December 8, 2016 in the journal Current Biology. The fossil was from a young, sparrow-sized animal which, “…likely brushed up against a tree sticky with resin some 99 million years ago in the (Middle Cretaceous). The middle section of th...
