The all new Velociraptor and why I laugh at 'science'

[Kirkland Laing]

I'm not sure what you mean Laing? Are you preposing that Velociraptor DOESN'T look like that feathered turkey monster according to science?

Because I assure you it does! It is considered a scientific fact now that Velocripator was covered in feathers and looked just like the turkey monster in question. This new image has even made its way to the latest childrens books.

Please I invite you to google it yourself.

Velociraptor Had Feathers

So it's now a FACT of science that that is what Velociraptor looked like, if you're disagreeing you're disagreeing with science not me

Yes it is, so what?

Because how something is portrayed in a popup book or a Hollywood movie doesn't qualify as empirical evidence.

The feather picture I presented wasn't from my pop up book. Go check out Wiki's view, they have even added wings!!!

The second pic I provided IS the SCIENTIFIC opinion of what they looked like. Actually to be more precise, it's the viw that science wants to convey it looked like in current books and literature to emphasise that they believe that therapod dinosaurs like velociraptor were the descendents of birds.

Erm every single scientist apart from Alan Fedducia who is the lone ornithologist voice against the therapod evolution of birds into dinosaurs.

According to science it's been proven beyond reasonable doubt now, allegedly.

Regardless of any scientific theories, I must say that Im still very upset by that second picture of the Velociraptor. All those feathers and colours and flailing limbs looking all dressed up for Halloween. I used to love dinosaurs as a kid and would memorize all their names and collect books with wonderful images of these great lizards with leather like skin and teeth as sharp as knives. And here in my adulthood I am being told that the velociraptor was actually a multicoloured flamer with cutesy little feathers? Its disheartening to say the least.

We will have T Rex with a mullet and goatee beard next, as if the puny looking arms werent embarrassing enough! Leave my dinosaurs alone!

Show me one single scientific paper or quote from a scientist that alleges birds evolved into dinosaurs.

It is a scientific opinion postulated as a possibility by some dudes who found some (but not concrete) evidence to suggest that they might have feathers.

I agree that there is a lot of bad science out there, where people make outlandish assumptions from the least convincing evidence, but unfortunately these are the ones that make it to the mainstream media.
