    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.
    Which scientists believe that they descended from 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!

    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

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

    That's right Lyle, birds evolved from dinosaurs, not the other way round. Thanks for procving my point.

    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.

    I'm not trying to get you to prove dinosaurs evolved into birds. You were originally claiming that dinosaurs descended from birds. Now you've realised you were completely wrong and you're trying to bullshit your way out of this without having to admit that you're an ignoramus who has no idea what he's talking about..

    First off it's dinosaurs evolved INTO birds not FROM birds and secondly it's not MY opinion it's the standard universal opinion of evolutionary science.

    I don't believe in macro evolution at all in the molecule to man, or dinosaur to bird sense, I am merely highlighting how the image of one of the most popular dinosaurs has been totally reinvented by evolutionary science in recent years as they attempt to indoctrinate their belief that therapod dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds.

    They are trying to put into the public consciousness the idea that therapod dinosaurs evolved into birds, and as a result are now redrawing the ideas of what these dinosaurs looked like to manipulate popular belief.

    I didn't find an extreme example of what a velociraptor looks like based on one nutjobs opinion, the second picture is the STANDARD depiction of a velociraptor in current evolutionary books on dinosuars, websites and in the media. If you don't like the image and think its bollocks (as do I) then take issue with the evolutionary scientists not me
