    Yeah, all birds are dinosaurs and ergo all modern dinosaurs have feathers.

    It's a somewhat recent discovery, so I figure many people (especially older) never got taught in school (i.e. were taught they looked like lizards with scaly skin).

    I'd love to meet someone who believes dinosaurs happened, but refuse to admit they had feathers. That's simply counter-intuitive.

    most people who are adults today were taught in elementary school that dinosaurs, including pterodactyl, did not have feathers. (and haven't had a reason to think about the topic since)

    What's more terrifying and cool? A giant lizard or giant rooster?
    I wont deny the evidence but it really does ruin what has been established as cool.

    Never heard of anyone reputable denying feathered dinosaurs. What I've heard are peoples opinions on how dinosaurs should be portrayed in entertainment. If people want scaled dinosaurs in their entertainment then that's fine in my book. Sometimes reality isn't as exciting as fiction.

    I was thinking about this thread, and suddenly got this image of Orlong or someone similar, screaming that SJWs are trying to push fiction that dinosaurs have feathers so they can ruin the Jurassic Park movies because they're offensive to birds.

    Would the rooster be aware that I had scrambled eggs for breakfast and a chicken sandwich for lunch?

    Because the popular image of Dinosaurs as giant lizards looks cooler than Dinosaurs with feathers.

    That, and Jurassic Park. Hell, they even addressed that in Jurassic World.

    There's literally no evidence that adult dinosaurs had feathers.

    I like most people don't really follow Dino that's much. I heard that some Dinos had feathers, didn't know they all had feathers. Like most people, Dinos with or without feathers doesn't really affect my life.

    Just think of all the little things about more recent history we still get wrong.

    Why does definition of a god matter? There is no proof they exist at all and gulible people still believe in them.

    Firstly why do you care?
    Secondly we don't know for certain if all therapods had feathers
    Thirdly why do you care again?
