Dinosaurs were reptiles, dude. When you made the post, it insulted my intelligence because I could of SWORE I was taught that dinosaurs were reptiles as a kid, and I even remember zoologists being so eager to tell kids that dinosaurs are still alive today, and showing kids pictures of crocodiles/alligators as proof...and crocs and alligators ARE reptiles.
So according to this website (and myself), your bullshit distinction is irrelevant http://www.factmonster.com/dk/encycloped...saurs.html
So for you to sit there and try to make the distinction between the two is disingenuous. But then again, it doesn't matter anyway, because even if the claim was that the archaeopteryx was the missing link between dinosaur's and birds (as opposed to reptiles), that would STILL be all speculation on the part of the evolutionist for reasons I've already mentioned.

If dinosaurs and reptiles are really in the same "kind" to you, maybe it's a good thing you got booted out of our debate, since at that point "kinds" evidently have no resemblance to anything within our understanding of biology and out classifications of organisms, meaning it really would be a useless quibble to have.
I wasn't fazed by anything that you said, in fact, I was just getting warmed up...so if I did get booted (didn't know that I did, but anyway), that actually saved your ass.
But anyway...dinosaurs were a "kind" of reptile..just like a dog is a "kind" of mammal. Same thing. And again, we've never observed organisms make these macro-level changes that the archae had supposedly made....so what do we have? We have an alleged process that is said to conveniently have occurred long before anyone was around to see it, and the next change will conveniently take place long after everyone living today WON'T be around to see it.
No one has ever observed this large scale changes...you simply have to accept by faith that it occurred, as the entire theory is based on lies, speculations, and unsupported claims. You can believe it all you want, but it isn't science.
