"...descendants of the animals that God created in the beginning."
So they evolved?

"...But this group of animals would merely be a kind of feathered reptile—descendants of the animals that God created in the beginning. ..."
So, what caused the feathered reptiles to be different from their original god-created ancestors? Sounds like evil-ution to me!

So you see no connection with feathered, hollow boned raptors disappearing and birds appearing? A cell that looks like a cross if drawn right can be connected to god but these two are obviously unrelated!

"Although no actual feathers were found with the velociraptor fossil (or any other dinosaur fossil, for that matter)"
words cannot express the sheer stupidity and lack of thought contained in that statement.

The creativity and diversity of how he re-used numerous body parts!
Even the appendix, which was no longer necessary!
He threw 'em in there anyway because he's CREATIVE!
YAY!

"a kind of feathered reptile"
In other words, BIRDS.
"Feathers on reptiles have nothing to do with proving that one kind of animal changed into another kind"
The hell they don't! Not to mention that feathers are hardly the only feature birds share with theropod dinosaurs. Actually, features they DON'T share would probably be the shorter list...
"Although no actual feathers were found with the velociraptor fossil (or any other dinosaur fossil, for that matter)"
Now you're just lying outright (big surprise, eh?).

cool cats
the stoooopidist part is claiming that scientists have suggested feathers were attached to bone. No names were provided of course.
As for the rest, I think I know how Penn and Teller would address this.

We have the fossil dinosaur feathers - we win.

"Feathers on reptiles have nothing to do with proving that one kind of animal changed into another kind."
Unless - gasp! - they were transitional forms between dinosaurs and birds.

And that's the root of the problem, methinks. No matter what evidence we show you, you'll always explain it away in terms of your Bible and 'goddidit'. If you start from the assumption that the Bible is infallible, you'll always interpret the evidence acordingly. But why, logically, should one start with that assumption?

No reptile has ever had feathers. Reptiles are cold-blooded and birds are warm-blooded. The idea that birds evolved from dinosaurs suggests that dinosaurs were also warm-blooded.
Changing from cold-blooded to warm-blooded is a hell of a lot more impressive than developing feathers, which are modified scales.
And to top it off...Archaeopteryx.

the first thing that popped up in my mind was Big Bird chasing those folks as they cut through a field in the 2nd Jurassic Park. I think it was the 2nd movie....

"They just show the creativity and diversity of our wonderful Creator God!"
I hate the way how these people adress their critisism. Any intellectual scrutiny of their claims is answered with something that feels like creationists showing their middle fingers at you and saying "Fuck you, you are just an asshole who is too smart to understand."
