This two-fingered dinosaur is said to evolved from three fingered dinosaurs, who evolved from four fingered dinosaurs, who evolved from five fingered dinosaurs. (Artist’s impression by Masato Hattori). Did dinosaur evolution really work this way?
A BBC article was published on March 25,2025, under the title of: “Unique two-clawed dinosaur discovered”
Some excerpts from the article are, as follows:
“At nearly a foot long, the claws themselves were much larger than their underlying bone, the study revealed. Besides better grasping, the two-fingered hands may have been used for display, digging, or as formidable weapons. The most famous two-fingered theropods are species within the group tyrannosaurids, which includes Tyrannosaurus rex, but Duonychus evolved its two-fingered hands separately from them and from other two-fingered theropods. The specimen also preserves the first keratinous sheath of a therizinosaur, an element that covers the claw much like human fingernails, aiding defence, movement, or prey catching.read more
Desperate Darwinists still Grasping Straws for ‘Missing Links’
“God created . . . winged birds in their own species”—Genesis 1:21 NJB
According to a new article at Science Daily, the fossil of a prehistoric baby bird is causing scientists to reevaluate their previous thoughts on evolution.
Once again, evolutionists are having to revise their story, after this newly analyzed ‘early baby bird’ fossil was analyzed in greater detail recently, using the latest state-of-the-art technology. It is very interesting that they admit “this particular group of avians may have been more diverse than previously thought”. Also, one of the study’s co-authors added: “It is amazing to realize how many of the features we see among living birds had already been developed more than 100 million years ago”. This is an inadvertent admission that macro-evolution has actually not taken place.read more

“How countless are your works, Yahweh, all of them made so wisely! The earth is full of your creatures”—-Psalm 104:24 NJB
“Fossil sheds light on ‘Jurassic Park’ dinosaurs” is the title of an article published on May 2, 2017 by BBC News. The article shows how flimsy and precarious the entire theory of macroevolution (Darwinism) is. From a re-examination of one fossil, scientists have come up with a new species of dinosaur!
Then they admit “these animals were evolving much earlier than the fossil record previously has indicated.” That should be worded “much earlier than our theory indicated.” Actually, they say it’s “five million years” older.
The Bible, for thousands of years, has indicated that “God made the wild animals according to their kinds… and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.” (Genesis 1:25 NIV) While evolutionists are forced by their own scientific discoveries to continually revise their theory, the Bible record has been accurate since it was written thousands of years ago, with no need of revision. This is not surprising, since it was authored by “God, alone wise.” (Romans 16:27 NKJV)

Fossil sheds light on ‘Jurassic Park’ dinosaurs
The fossil of a dinosaur that has been languishing in a museum for decades has been re-examined – and it turns out to be that of a new species.
Brachiosaurus, depicted in Jurassic Park, now has an early relative, providing clues to the evolution of some of the biggest creatures on Earth.
Scientists say the plant-eating dinosaur was longer than a double-decker bus and weighed 15,000kg.
Its remains were found in the 1930s in the Jura region of France.
Since then it has been somewhat over-looked, spending most of that time in storage crates in the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Lead researcher Dr Philip Mannion of Imperial College London said the dinosaur would have eaten all kinds of vegetation, such as ferns and conifers, and lived at a time when Europe was a series of islands.
”We don’t know what this creature died from, but millions of years later it is providing important evidence to help us understand in more detail the evolution of brachiosaurid sauropods and a much bigger group of dinosaurs that they belonged to, called titanosauriforms,” he said.
Asteroid strike
Titanosauriforms were some of the largest creatures ever to have lived on land and were very diverse, surviving right up until the asteroid strike that wiped out most life on Earth.
The new species, given the scientific name, Vouivria damparisensis, lived in the Late Jurassic, some 160 million years ago.
“It’s the earliest member of a group that includes Brachiosaurus – one of the most famous dinosaurs we know – one of the prominent animals in Jurassic Park,” Dr Mannion told BBC News
“And it gives us a much clearer idea of what’s going on in the early evolution of this really important radiation of dinosaurs.”
Sauropods
The dinosaur is a sauropod – a sub-group of titanosauriforms, which include well-known groups such as Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus and Brontosaurus.
They had very long necks, long tails, and small heads with thick, pillar-like legs.
The fossil predates the previously oldest-known member of this group by about five million years.
“It starts to give us an idea that these animals were evolving much earlier than the fossil record previously has indicated,” Dr Mannion added.
“This pushes back a lot of origin times for a range of sauropod dinosaurs based on our understanding of how these different species related to one another.”
The re-classification of Vouivria as an early member of the titanosauriforms will help in mapping their spread across the Earth, from Jurassic times to the extinction of all dinosaurs.
It is thought that they were present across Europe, the US and Africa, but became extinct in Europe towards the end of their reign.
The fossil was discovered in the village of Damparis in the Jura region of eastern France in 1934.
It was documented scientifically in the 1940s, but has not been studied in detail since then.
Its scientific name, Vouivria damparisensis, relates to ‘La vouivre’, a local folklore legend about a winged serpent.
Dr Mannion examined the bones of the creature along with scientists at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris and the CNRS/Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
An “unknown ancient reptile roamed the Pyrenees mountains” according to a BBC News article published on April 20, 2017.
“The footprints of a mysterious reptile that lived about 250 million years ago have been identified in fossils from the Pyrenees mountains.”
“Footprints” have been found, now an entirely new species has been discovered? And it’s “a member of the group that gave rise to crocodiles and dinosaurs?”
All from “footprints?”
“Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions.” (Ecclesiastes 10:13 [a] NLT)
From footprints to an entire animal, replete with its history.
The article also notes that in the past, “a mass extinction devastated life on land and in the oceans. Some 90% of species disappeared. At that time the Earth was very different from today.”
Hello? – Flood of Noah’s day, possibly?
“For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.
Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.read more
