Dave, maybe I did,nt make myself clear enough in my reply to stu, but I am not interested in disproving dinos , or some of them at least,had feathers , as it makes no difference to creation . If they did, they would not be the first mosaic creature. However , to evolutionists (who were promoting dino to bird before any feathers were found) it would be important.   Agreed ...pushing ...might be a bit of a blanket word not applicable to all scientists but certainly would be to a lot of evolutionists.      Your last question was answered previously by# but it also goes by creation.com.
