If you have issues with the media, then perhaps you should find a Board that is appropriate for venting such gripes.

DWA: I continue to be impressed with the currency of topics in Wikipedia. Note here, bold faced, regarding the Science report. This seems straightforward, with less interpretation, as by some over-eager cub reporter at Associated Press.

I'm not sure I know what you are talking about, but if the Wiki article was written by a scientist rather than a journalist, it is more likely to be accurate even if less entertaining.

DWA: Well, now, "they" want to believe there is a lineal genetic relationship between short necked alligators, toothed, short upper-armed tyrannosaurus rex, and feathered flighty barnyard beaked chickens?

I think you just inserted the word "lineal" all by yourself, unless by "they" you mean those voices that only you can hear. I feel no obligation to argue that particular point.

DWA: I do see sketches of the t. rex foot, which is three toed, like a bird.(added) That would be no compelling reason to/for an intelligent designer, IMO, to not use three toes in various life form designs, as appropriate.(/add)

This is wrong on so many levels that I don't know where to begin. How about starting with the fact that neither tyannosaurs or birds have three toes? Of course, if a designer had no reason not to do something by unknown and unseeable methods, how would you tell what dictated the number of toes and how that number was actually accomplished? Keep in mind that the number of toes touching the ground varies in dinosaurs and birds.

DWA: Has Frank, prior to presumption, at least made a count of the neck vertebrae on alligators, t. rexes, and chickens respectively? Only an instant response answer will really satisfy me.

Since you don't know when I first saw your post, I don't know how to satisfy you or even why I should? I do know that birds and other dinosaurs vary significantly in the number of cervical vertebrae they have. Mammals, on the other hand, do only have seven, regardless of what they do with their necks. Don't you think a designer could have shown a little latitude there? If not, why not? Why stick a giraffe with the same number of cervicals as a manatee?? Why-y-y-y-y?

DWA: Another article paralleling the extrapolating AP report. It does not profess outright certainty, does it?
