"100 Million Year Old Bird" Is Still a Bird

[Excerpts]

Another Bird Fossil
The secular scientific community has announced the recent discovery by American and Chinese paleontologists of an alleged "100 million year old" missing avian link, possibly with soft tissue. Despite claims that Gansus yumenensis is "the missing link on the evolution of birds," all indications show it is in fact just a bird.

Creation Scientists are Ecstatic
Creation scientists are even more excited than their secular counterparts about recent bird fossils uncovered in the Xiagou Formation 1,200 miles west of Beijing. For not only are these fossils revealing 100% bird traits, but the tissue from some of these fossils is possibly still soft. Both of these physical manifestations are clearly within the creation model.

A recent CNN.com story says "the new fossils demonstrate that Gansus clearly is a bird . . . . the oldest example of the nearly modern birds, . . . .similar to loons or diving ducks" (CNN.com 2006). With such repeated graphic descriptions, there seems to be no reason to claim this bird is a "missing link." National Geographic.com crows that Gansus "is strikingly similar to today's birds, considering that it lived alongside dinosaurs" (Norris 2006). Indeed, a majority of evolutionists maintain birds evolved from dinosaurs and today, are dinosaurs: "So, in fact, birds are not some separate biological entity, distinct and apart from 'reptiles.' Birds are dinosaurs" (Fastovsky & Weishample 1996).

But this fossil discovery shows these birds "lived alongside dinosaurs" supporting not Darwinism, but the creation model that states dinosaurs have always been dinosaurs and birds have always been birds. According to creationism, finding the two groups together is natural and to be expected.

Those who are wise will understand, the rest will continue to believe a lie....or indeed many of them! While I was working at the computera few days ago, I saw a video on the discovery of ruins under water that are believed to be prior to the time when man had such knowledge or ability. More will come to light that the honest of heart will have the scales removed from their eyes.

This is so sad brother Richard, but it is so true. No matter the sense truth makes, people will go with the false because it is all they have ever heard because of what their parents taught or because of tradition or whatever. They won't believe truth unless they have a desire for Truth and are looking.

Since none of us was there, no one knows for sure. All is theory, none is facts.

They use a system, called carbon data as proof, but they do not even know if the carbon data is correct, they think it is, but they do not.

The animals themselves I have no question of, it is the years that concern me.

The article stated, "...the tissue from some of these fossils is possibly still soft." This destroys the assumption of evolutionists that the fossils are millions of years old.

Yes, the truth is not difficult. As God has said "All are without excuse!"

Romans 1:20-28. Something to consider.

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

Jesus receives His reward when we reflect His character, the fruits of the Spirit......We deny Jesus His reward when we do not.
