I don't claim that God didn't make everything. I'm only concerned here with
the evidence on hand on what happened. I'm not addressing whether it was
directed by God in any fashion or not, but simply what actually took place.

If it's fake, I'd *love* to verify that. Fakes are great fun. Just tell me
your source (preferably before the Ice Age hits hell).

Hmmmm, well, this is interesting. The National Geographic represented that
the fossil-finder is a scientist of long-standing repute, and her
arch-enemies are the black marketeers (this is in China). The fossils
weren't on display (except to other scientists). Of course, they could have
gotten it all wrong, but your explanation doesn't seem to fit with what they
reported. Again, I'd like to see your source.

Helps establish the link between dinosaurs and birds. Evolution.
