"Chinese scientists say they have discovered a new dinosaur species, with bat-like wings, that sheds light on how dinosaurs may have evolved into birds. (How is "may" scientific?)
Based on a fossil specimen discovered in China's Hebei province a decade ago, scientists estimate the bird-like dinosaur existed for a very short time 160 million years ago during the Jurassic Period (in creationist terms that means pre-Flood),...
Based on a fossil specimen discovered in China's Hebei province a decade ago, scientists estimate the bird-like dinosaur existed for a very short time
Xu Xing, a paleontologist with China's Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, and lead author of the report, told CNN the dinosaur's fossilized remains highlighted the complexity of evolution.
Named Yi qi, or "strange wing" in Chinese, Xu said it was one of the earliest dinosaurs to show some capacity for flight -- even though it wasn't very successful. (How do they know this? They don't. They have NO idea whether it was "successful" in flight. They've NEVER seen one try before)
Unlike other bird-like dinosaurs, its wings were made from membranes -- like a bat -- rather than composed of feathers.
It didn't become the birds we see today -- it tried but failed. (It NEVER "tried" to be anything other than what it was). CNN
