I wanted you to come to your own conclusions. Jeez. But it's just another bit of evidence to add to the mountain of evidence that supports evolution. Reptiles evolved into birds.

"The Mongolian Velociraptor specimen's short arms indicate that the creature itself could not fly; but its feathers may have been useful for display, to shield nests, for temperature control or to help it manoeuvre while running, the team says"
Read the article.

that doesn't point out evolution interior the experience changing species yet merely kind. If the climate is getting less warm and you have time till you substitute clothing for hair you will adapt to the chilly the two by blubber because of the fact the Eskimos ore hair or perhaps even feathers. this is a controversy of interpretation not science evidence of evolution. How approximately human beings being born with 2 heads or calves or sheep, is that evolution in action changing us right into a 2 headed species. Or how relating to the genetically trapped team of persons who strengthen facial hair throughout their face--are the lost hyperlink from monkeys to people---no this is genetics in action.

Evidently it did and it is a good thing that God gave man dominion over the animals, birds, etc. Man couldn't live with these giant creatures. They were too much of a threat. Even today large flying birds the size of small airplanes are still seen flying in the sky. October 2002 this bird was seen in Alaska. www.archives.cnn.com

Pangea was a supercontinent, and any climatologist can tell you that the further you get from large bodies of water, the more extreme the temperatures are likely to be.
Fethers are a wonderful insulator, ask any Penguin. They may have also developed a secondary role as sexual display.

Pull up the bone structure of the velociraptor and the emu and you will see why. We used to raise them

The same reason feathers are on an emu or an ostrich

I don't know why, but if that is true (the link won't load for me) then Jurassic Park just became really corny.
