Dinosaur Feathers Discovered in Canadian Amber

Today a group of paleontologists announced the results of an extensive study of several well-preserved dinosaur feathers encased in amber. Their work, which included samples from many stages in the evolution of feathers, bolstered the findings of other scientists who've suggested that dinosaurs (winged and otherwise) had multicolored and transparent feathers of the sort you might see on birds today. The researchers also presented evidence, based on the feathers' pigmentation and structures, that today's bird feathers could have evolved from dinosaur feathers.​

If only the creationists read the true Genesis, the exact translation from Old Hebrew (Paleo-Hebrew)

1.
In the beginning was the idea and the idea was God.

2.
And the earth was without form, and void; and no object, nor measure, nor thing existed excepting the idea of the spirit. And the Spirit of God said I wish to exist as existence.

3.
And God thought, Let there be existence: and there was existence as the infinite dream of potential.

4.
And God saw the dream of infinite potential, that it was good: and God divided the dream from himself, the dreamer.

5.
And God called the dream the universe, and the infinite dreamer he called ALL. And the cleaving of existence, of the universe and ALL were the first age.

6.
And God said, Let there be the heavens of stars and their kin in the midst of the void of universal space, and let it divide the space from the substance of stars.

7.
And God made the stars, and divided the matter which was around the stars from the stars; and it was so.

8.
And God called the stars, stars and the spheres that orbit the stars, planets. And the cleaving of stars and planets were the second age.

9.
And God said, Let some of the planet that orbit stars be so that water and oceans may gather unto the surface, so that life may exist: and it was so.

10.
And God called one such planet Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13.
And the upon life forming on water planets around stars such as Earth it was the third age.

14.
And God said, Let these precious sancturies of life be protected from harm, so that it might not be consumed by the stars, nor cleaved by violence;

15.
And let there be barriers upon barriers of fields of rocks and unborn stars around such living stars that are home to such sanctuary planets: and it was so.

16.
And God made a companion for the Earth to guide and measure the oceans and light the night.

17.
And for the protecting the sanctuary of life, God have unto the Sun its own messengers to sustain it for its own nourishment with tails of heavenly fire as reminders for life yet to come as a warning against hubris,

18.
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19.
And these were the fourth age.

20.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open heavens of heaven.

21.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23.
And these were the fifth age.

24.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

29.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And this was the sixth age.

Very cool, finding intact feathers and insects from so far back.

Just imagine 30 ton dinosaurs trotting around covered in colorful feathers. I'll bet they were spectacular.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Yes, I'm sure it was a real treat.

How would a caveman get on plucking one...he'd be there for days!!!

Oh...that's right.....

Where have you been? Paleontologists have been speculating for decades about some dinosaurs having feathers.

What's to explain?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Yeah, we've known about the feathers for some time. Now what would be REALLY COOL would be if intact DNA was preserved in the amber ala Jurassic Park!
