As long as my media keeps in line with the big scaly monsters we all know and love Science can find and mull over whatever it wants.

I will not have Dinosaurs turned into giant turkeys.

It sucks that a childhood love of dinosaurs turns into a love of science for some yet close-mindedness for others.

I'm not closed minded, I'm not saying feathered Dinosaurs were not a thing. I'm just saying lizard Dino's>Turkey Dino's.

People who think birds are less scary than lizards have never been killed by an owl and fed to it's young.

Imagine the reaction if we had managed to clone a dinosaur back before the feather consensus.


I wonder what evolutionary advantage feather scales provided.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Why have we not cloned it yet?
Science is a failure

Because dinosaur fossils don't contain DNA, the half life of DNA is something around the realm of 500 years, dinosaur fossils are tens of millions of years old if not hundreds of millions.

Yep. We've barely got the tech and samples to start cloning stuff like mammoths (people are working on it), let alone dinosaurs.

Did dinosaurs grow feathers and evolve, or did some lose them and evolve.

Did the human species have feathers, or should we all be jealous that our ancestors will in the future?
