"It's just a matter of level of classification."

Pikaia and the Lancelet are examples of convergent evolution and are totally different animals despite appearing superficially the same; both possess a notochord and chevron-shaped muscle bundles as do all chordates, of which the Lancelet is a extant representative. However, there are significant differences between the two animals.



"Of course if you can substantiate any accusation of lies from this prominent resource it is a serious matter and I would not want to be ignorant of such."

Fine. From CMI, this statement is a lie:

"While feathered dinosaurs are not ruled out by the biblical creationist model, the claims of feathers are looking more and more dubious.?"

In fact, the opposite is true. We now find feathers on far more dinosaurs than we originally thought, and it now appears some sort of filamentous integument might be a basal condition in archosaurs as pterosaurs were also covered in fuzz. By the way, citing Lingham-Soliar in any discussion on feathers in dinosaurs rings alarm bells. In his latest publication of around 18 refs (suspiciously few) eleven are self-citations. Bad science.
