Dinosaurs disowned

After decades of inisisting that the fossil record provides "overwhelming evidence" for evolution the darwinists are now quietly confessing that the fossil record isn't all it's cracked up to be. They've gone back to look at the bones and found that maybe a third of the dinosaur species they'd been luring kids with didn't exist after all.

Their demise comes after a three-horned dinosaur, Torosaurus, was assigned to the dustbin of history last month at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in the United Kingdom, the loss in recent years of quite a few duck-billed hadrosaurs and the probable disappearance of Nanotyrannus, a supposedly miniature Tyrannosaurus rex.

These dinosaurs were not separate species, as some paleontologists claim, but different growth stages of previously named dinosaurs, according to a new study.

Good job for me that I don't care how the tyrannosaur died because next year they'll probably be telling us that the tyrannosaur never existed. As I've always told my students; don't take a paleontologist at face value until he can tell you how many types of dinosaurs there actually were, and they've never managed to settle on a number yet.

Find out why there's an intelligent design controversy!
