Velociraptors - Birds or Reptiles?

Today I Found Out everything I thought I knew about Velociraptors was a lie. Now to be fair, everything I “knew” about Velociraptors came from the Jurassic Park movies and so I shouldn’t really be surprised it was all wrong. So if, like me, you thought that Velociraptors were slightly bigger than a human; reptilian looking; hunted in packs; were found in what is now the United States; and were ridiculously intelligent. Well, literally none of that is true.

Velociraptors were actually only about the size of a domesticated Turkey, being only about 3 feet tall and 6 feet long, with most of the length coming from the tail and weighing in at around 20-30 pounds full grown. More than that, they also looked somewhat like a Turkey as well, but with a long tail obviously. It turns out, Velociraptors were very similar to birds in a lot of ways. They had hollow bones, feathers, built nests for their eggs, and are thought to have behaved very similar to birds.

Only about a dozen Velociraptor fossils have been found to date.

As Mark Norell, curator of fossil reptiles, amphibians, and birds at the American Museum of Natural History, stated:

The more that we learn about these animals, the more we find that there is basically no difference between birds and . . . Velociraptors. Both have wishbones; brooded their nests; possess hollow bones; and were covered in feathers. If animals like Velociraptors were alive today, our first impression would be that they were just very unusual looking birds.

More than that, there has never been one bit of evidence that suggested that Velociraptors hunted in packs. In fact, every fossil found of Velociraptors has seemed to indicate they were solitary creatures. There was even one fossil where the Velociraptor was engaged in a battle against a Protoceratops, which was a pig-sized dinosaur. A sandstorm came up and buried them both while they were battling. If they hunted in packs, there should have been more Velociraptors at that find, particularly given the size of the Protoceratops relative to the Velociraptor.

Above: Deinonychus. Mainstream scientists and religious evolutionist authorities would have us believe that these creatures were reptiles, when they were most likely birds. The above picture is an imaginary depiction of this animal, making it resemble a reptile, with imaginary green-coloured scales.

Next up, the Velociraptors were not found in the United States, as the films suggested: where the palaeontologists in the film dug up the Velociraptor skeleton in Montana. In fact, they have only been found in Central Asia around Mongolia.

It has long been suspected that Velociraptors had feathers, but the evidence proving this has only come very recently. That evidence came from a discovery in September of 2007 of a forelimb fossil of a Velociraptor that had quill knobs, similar to those found on birds. Furthermore, Velociraptors were also probably warm-blooded.  They are thought to have had about the same metabolism as the Kiwi, which is similar in anatomy, feather type, bone structure, and nasal passages; the latter of which is usually a good indicator of metabolism in animals.  Also, cold blooded animals (i.e. reptiles) typically won’t pursue prey; they prefer to lie in wait until the prey comes to them.

Why can't evolutionists simply admit that Velociraptors were in fact birds all along, instead of portraying them as reptilian species, in order to support the reptilian deception of birds and mammals evolving from reptiles? Perhaps birds' ancestors were always birds, and our ancestors were always mammals.

Did Dinosaurs Live Alongside Humans?

The evidence that dinosaurs lived with man in recent history is staggering and overwhelming due to the countless artefacts, drawings, carvings, statues, mosaics and depictions throughout history of Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Plesiosaur, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, T-rex and more. If man didn't live with these creatures, how did artists throughout ancient history and in cultures all over the world happen to re-create these beasts, thousands of years ago, to “coincidentally” look identical to what we see in the dinosaur books and museums today? Some may say “well, they must have seen dinosaur skeletons back then too”. Not so. Here's why.

Dinosaur skeletons aren't found just lying on the ground intact, so someone walking by can look down and see what the dinosaur looked like. The bones are separated, fragmented and embedded deep within the ground, mountains and rock with most of them missing. Occasionally, you might find a piece of a single bone sticking out of a rock here or there, but that's pretty much all we find today. Logic dictates that's all anyone in ancient history would ever have found as well. They would not have been able to create the image of the entire beast without the entire skeleton, yet the science of Palaeontology did not develop until the early 1800's. The process of digging out and excavating dinosaur bones from rock didn't begin until then. Consequently, the first complete skeleton of a dinosaur was not constructed until the 1800's.

You really need to ask yourself, if dinosaurs died out 65 million years before modern man “evolved”, and the first dinosaur skeleton was not excavated and constructed until the early 1800's, how did human artwork throughout history manage to depict several types of dinosaurs that look identical to the dinosaur depictions we see in the science books today? The answer is simple. They drew what they saw with their own eyes. You can get a lot more information in the "Top Ten Proofs Dinosaurs Lived with Man". The fact is that although we have been conditioned to believe dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, science, history and logic actually shows dinosaurs lived with man.
