Another ignorant one. Let's just "read" the wiki article...
"Although the word dinosaur means "terrible lizard", the name is somewhat misleading, as dinosaurs are not lizards. Instead, they represent a separate group of reptiles that, like many extinct forms, did not exhibit characteristics traditionally seen as reptilian, such as a sprawling limb posture or ectothermy."
So how about you read a freakin' book instead of displaying your willful ignorance regarding your own religion (evolution).
No, I am using the term in the scientific, not the popular, sense.
Wikipedia Wrote:Reptiles, the class Reptilia, are an evolutionary grade of animals, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards and tuatara, their extinct relatives, and some of the extinct ancestors of mammals. Due to their evolutionary history and the diversity of extinct forms, the validity of the class is not universally supported in scientific circles, though in practice, it remains in use by some biologists and more laymen, especially in mass media. The study of reptiles, historically combined with that of amphibians, is called herpetology.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
