Birds are the dinosaurs nearest living relatives.
Pay no attention to these creationist crackpots and their phony ideas.

After an ancient DNA extraction (which is always full of mistakes) it has been determined the closest living relative to the T-rex is...

It is the common chicken. Your right, an unusual animal. The flightless bird lays eggs, cares for it's young and tolerates only one male around.

No living creature is related to a dinosaur.

The idea that dinosaurs are related to birds is evolutionary philosophy and does not stand up to scrutiny.

T Rex was created as a dinosaur with no evolutionary relative.

‘New research shows that birds lack the embryonic thumb that dinosaurs had, suggesting that it is “almost impossible” for the species to be closely related.’1 A team led by bird expert Alan Feduccia, chairman of biology at the University of North Carolina, studied bird embryos under a microscope, and published their study in the journal Science.2

A team led by John Ruben, a respiratory physiology expert at Oregon State University in Corvallis, analysed fossil outlines of Sinosauropteryx’s internal organs. Its ‘bellowslike lungs could not have evolved into the high-performance lungs of modern birds.’3 Indeed, birds have a complicated system of air sacs which keep air flowing in one direction through special tubes (parabronchi) in the lung, and blood moves through the lung’s blood vessels in the opposite direction for efficient oxygen uptake,4 an excellent engineering design.5 Interestingly, some defenders of dinosaur-to-bird evolution, discount this evidence against their theory by saying ‘the proponents of this argument offer no animal whose lungs could have given rise to those in birds, which are extremely complex and are unlike the lungs of any living animal.’6 Of course, only evolutionary faith requires that bird lungs arose from lungs of another animal.

Also, Ruben and ancient bird expert Larry Martin believe that the so-called ‘feather’ traces are actually frayed collagen fibres beneath the skin. Feather expert Alan Brush, University of Connecticut, Storrs, points out that they ‘lack the organization found in modern feathers.’7
