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.

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!![]()

I like dinosaurs. but a dinosaur having feathers is kinda weird but then again im no scientist. they probably have found a different species that has feathers on it.

It's funny you should mention T Rex a few years ago a concerted effort was undertaken by certain evolutionists to put feathers on the T Rex too. It is now accepted (I'm being serious) that the early ancestors of T Rex were feathered and that actual baby T Rex's were born with feathers but that these fell off as the animal matured.
It is also widely accepted that a T Rex is closer to a chicken than a crocodile.
Here's a new book on the subject courtesy of those perennial bullshitters The National Geographic

ha I can't believe that the evolutionist is trying get the creationist to prove dinosaurs evolved into birds.
Firstly I do NOT believe dinosaurs evolved into birds, secondly science is adament that the case for dinosaur bird evolution is as strong as ape to man evolution now. It's only a small minority of evolutionists who oppose the idea, probably less than 10 percent.
The established scientific opinion nowadays is that therapod dinosaurs such as velociraptor share the same ancestor as modern birds.
As to Miles original question on how scientists know they had feathers, well no feathers have been found on a dinosaur fossil, although they are many preserved feathers in bird fossils.
The evidence for feathers in dinosaurs relates to the presence of what the evolutionists believe are quill knobs on the forearm bones of some therapod dinosaurs, consistent with feathers having been there.
It is widely accepted now by the scientific community, I have no idea what Laing is trying to suggest, but the entire evolutionary community now believes some dinosaurs were feathered and that they evolved into birds.
Just google any 'reputable' source, it's considered a fact of science now.
Of course I personally don't believe it, I just think evolutionists redraw their designs of what creatures looked like based on what they want them to have evolved from.
The completely false and innacurate depictions of Neanderthals, the Lucy skeleton, Java man, the Taung fossil etc in musuems and literature also attest to this fact.

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.
