The Museum of Nature & Science in Dallas is currently running an exhibit called "Chinasaurs" that features dinosaur fossils discovered in China. Some of these fossils supposedly represent transitional species from dinosaurs to birds. But these "feathered dinosaurs" appear to be missing a key feature…namely, the feathers.

Many people are fascinated with dinosaur discoveries—a new fossil, a new species, and the impressive size. But whenever we read a news article, a scientific paper, or even a textbook describing these dino finds, we must be guided by the all-important question: what are the facts and how should the facts be interpreted?

Was the famous extinct fossil named Archaeopteryx a bird or an evolutionary link that led to birds? And how confident should scientists and others feel about the 150-million-year age assigned to this world-famous fossil? A new report on the latest specimen confirms two Bible-friendly trends that creation scientists have been tracking for a long time.¹
