    I heard that Spielburg wanted to use Deinonychus (that's probly spelt wrong) but he thought the name velociraptor & the chance to call them 'raptors' was too good to ignore & would sell better

    Yeah that is correct mate, the Raptors in Jurassic Park were certainly closer to Deinonychus than raptors, as they are twice the size of raptors. Still not as bi as those in the films though.

    But I don't have a problem with Spielberg as he's just trying to make an entertaining film but scientists piss me off completely changing the appearance of Velociraptor to try and emphasise their dino-bird brainwash agenda.

    A couple years ago they claimed to have found 'quill knobs' on Raptor arms and so confidently declared Raptors were completely feathered dinosaurs even though to my understanding these 'quill knobs' were only found on one particular fossil and not on other raptor fossils.

    Still its now an undisputed 'fact' that they were just feathered dinosaurs

    You do realize it is a work in progress, the study and science of the fossil record? I mean, each new find either backs up claims, or changes them.

    I'd be more worried about the legitimacy of it if it refused to allow for such change.

    I understand that YB but in the meantime science still present's their findings as factual, only to completely change them later on and then these new findings become fact.

    It's like right now we 'know' that life began just over 4 billion years ago. Until a year or so ago we all knew it began 3.8 billion years ago.

    We knew the mammoths were wiped out by a comet like the dinosaurs until this year when we find they now wern't

    If you look at the history of evolutionary science all you see is that every idea and 'fact' is changed, thrown out, altered, revised etc as they go along demonstrating that nothing was obviously 'fact' before.

    The dinosaurs for example died out 65 million years ago. We know this for a fact. I wonder what that number will be in another decade or so?

    My bet is that figure will change either higher or lower as evolutionary theories change over the next 30 years or so.

    I like how our tails stopped gorwing because we evolved past needing them... we have evolved past needing our appendixes too but for some reason we still have those

    Pretty lax 'scientific rule' there.

    It's a theory dressed up in psuedo science

    Yes, the size of a drawing in a popup book clearly shows that evolution is a load of rubbish.
