No one in the business says something is "millions of years" old without first dotting every i and crossing every t. In other words, we do the work needed to verify our results. You simply making a counter claim sans any evidence is simply the rantings of a scoundrel.
You may be able to tell how old something is if you conduct the right experiment...but the fact that the animal lived millions of years ago does not imply that the animal is an evolutionary predecessor of an animal that is alive today.
Non-sequitur.

More people claim to have seen God in History than macroevolution simply because macroevolution hasn't been around that long, there aren't that may people actually working in the field, and because there are a lot of pre-literate people in the world who have been brainwashed into believing in magic sky daddies and have had an inferior education to counter such nonsense.
Less rhetoric, more evidence.

You've seen reptile-bird changes? When?

Paleontology is exactly like every other branch of science in that if you make any kind of "voodoo interpretations you want", all the other paleontologists out there are going to eat you alive, as I am with your rantings right now.
Paleontologists have their presuppositions, too.

So you scientifically ruled out God? How?

No you get over it. No one is denying that there is change over time...but there are limits to the changes.

Apology accepted.
So if I showed you a picture of Jesus Christ, I guess that means Christianity is true, huh?

Not at all.
