Archaeopteryx Misconception
Evolutionists point to the Archaeopteryx fossil as the only evidence to support their claim that "birds evolved from dinosaurs". The latest discoveries, however, prove that this creature is simply an extinct bird species.
This evolutionist claim proven false over and over again, collapsed for good with an Archaeopteryx fossil unearthed in 1992.
The absence of a "sternum", that is the chest bone, in this creature, which is essential for flight muscles, was held up as the most important evidence that this bird could not fly properly. The seventh Archaeopteryx fossil unearthed in 1992 revealed that the chest bone that evolutionists have long assumed to be missing actually existed. The presence of this bone proved that Archaeopteryx was a flying bird. 34
In addition, it has been proved that two other points which evolutionists mention while presenting Archaeopteryx as an intermediate form – the claws on its wings and the teeth in its mouth – do not in any way imply that this bird is an intermediate form. It has been observed that two bird species living today, touraco and hoatzin both have claws on their wings by which to hold on to branches. Also, there have been different bird species throughout history that had teeth. Moreover, according to the measurements of famous ornithologists, such as Martin, Stewart and Whetstone, the tooth structure of Archaeopteryx was completely different from that of reptiles.35 All these findings show that the evolutionary claims that Archaeopteryx is an intermediate form have no scientific basis.

The
most important intermediate form candidate that evolutionists refer
to is a 150 million-year-old fossil bird called Archaeopteryx. Evolutionists
claim that this fossil bird was a semi-dinosaur which could not
fly properly.
