thanks stu, hope your project goes well. I presume you might have named some of many coelusaurians mentioned in a wiki article I have just read [wiki is far from creationist, shimrod!] . said article certainly assumes that modern birds belong to the same grouping from some details that may partly correspond to these, including what might suggest feathers on dinos.
actual...it is not just a case of whether one or two gaps are claimed, but whether any particular claimed transitional can be demonstrated to be so when subjected to scrutiny.
and although sometimes it may be evolutionists that uncover weaknesses in the argument supporting these, creationists will obviously be more inclined to expose flaws. and of course, if all scientists follow the evidence wherever it leads they welcome such scrutiny. but should an example be provided that creationists have not been able to expose any faulty reasoning.....then you have scored a [minor] victory !.
that their might be some common design features is , imo, evidence of a common designer rather that a common ancestry.
