weird…

Scientists say they have evidence that a ferocious dinosaur made famous by the movie Jurassic Park definitely had feathers. Experts say the dinosaur, called Velociraptor, had a wing structure just like modern birds. VOA’s Jessica Berman reports.

Turner thinks Velociraptor might have used the feathers for show, to shield nests or to keep itself warm.

He says his team did not find quill knobs on other fossils of the bird-like carnivore, but that doesn’t mean, he said, that Velociraptor did not have feathers.

I want to get paid to find stupid ancient buried shit and make ridiculous conclusions. They find 1 bone with bumps on it, and instantly they have conclusive evidence that an entire extinct species had feathers.

What a joke. Guaranteed the government subsidizes their work, because nobody in their right mind would pay them their own money to do that work. Easy solution, some bureaucrat calls it some kind of education spending and gives all these PhD loons a bunch of our money.

any devout christian would tell you that

Is it okay if I say that the earth revolves around the sun or does that make me a heathen, or a pagan, or whatever it would be? (Just adding to the non-feathered-dinosuar/bird-arguing.)
