Now, getting back to evolution, you say:"To the credit of the Science article authors, they themselves make no such clear statement of certainty of chicken having a lineal decendancy from T. rex."

As far as I am aware, NO SCIENTIST involved with this subject EVER suggested such a relationship exists. In the same vein, I could say it is to your credit that you are not consuming the livers of aborted fetuses. Congratulations.

DWA: Inconvenient choke point: 1) Where and how did those tiny front legs turn in to feathered flight-capable wings? That's not a tiny gulf to bridge, after all.

Well, since chickens didn't come from tyrannosaurs, it isn't a choke point at all. No gulf in need of bridging, unless it's the one between your ears in regard to understanding any of this.

DWA: When ***will*** this ordeal end? :-)

When you quit arguing against strawmen that you so sloppily stuff.
