You can learn more about the question of feathered dinosaurs in these two articles: “ Did Dinosaurs Turn into Birds?” and “ Dinosaurs in Birds’ Clothing?” Don’t Forget to Pray for Our Nation Today Beetles living before the flood were eating feathers just like beetles today eat feathers. And based on God’s Word, I understand that these feathers belonged to a bird, not an “avian dinosaur” (there’s no such thing as an avian dinosaur-so-called avian dinosaurs were just birds!).
They interpret all the evidence through that lens-even when it doesn’t seem to fit.īut I begin with a different starting point: the Word of God. For those scientists mentioned in the article, their starting point is evolution and millions of years. When it comes to historical science (i.e., dealing with the unobserved past), it all comes down to an interpretation of the evidence based on a particular starting point. This is a reminder that you can’t believe everything you read in science articles and need to carefully check things out for yourself. But because of the scientists’ assumptions about the age of the amber, the evolutionary history of birds, and the belief that dinosaurs were birds, we get a silly headline stating that beetles ate dinosaur feathers. Is there any evidence these feathers came from “an unknown theropod dinosaur,” as the article states? No, none at all-they look like feathers that come from birds. But what was the headline announcing the discovery of these beetles with a few feathers? “Beetles fed on dinosaur feathers.”
Now, our beetles today often live in bird’s nests, nibbling away at shed bird’s feathers. In a chunk of amber (fossilized tree resin), researchers discovered bits of downy feathers and larval molts from beetles that are very similar to beetles that live today.
