Edit
DWA: (At last!) Reading the actual Science article is anticlimactic, and disappointing compared to expectations arising from the recent "exciting" popular press treatment.

What, not enough pictures for you?

DWA: Here's a third article I have found for TT lately saying in effect that chickens are descendants of tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs. (misleading?) This loose behavior is rather reflective of the group-think too-justification-hungry evolution-touting crowd, IMO. The loose association of T. rex and chickens via some DNA does ***not*** IMO conclusively prove any lineal evolutionary connection.

Now you are quoting that august scientific publication USA Today?

Nobody who is familiar with scientific literature, much less less evolution, thinks that chickens are descendants of tyannosaurs. I doubt that any scientist would suggest that such a relationship could be provable.

DWA: Searching the article, to the author's credit, I find no statement of certainty of lineal connection (evolution) between t. rex and any chickens.

I told you so. Don't you ever check the straw you use for stuffing your strawmen to make sure a horse hasn't already used it for his toilet?
