At least once, a bird expert confused some dinosaurs skull for those of
actual focillised birds... And the similitudes are not only in the skulls.

And what does a poorly executed hoax have to do with anything?
(That lurch you just felt was people's eyes rolling as yet another person
dredged up that red herring. Paleontologists suspected something from the very
beginning; it was British pride that kept that thing in cold storage all those
years.)

I didn't say that birds are not descendants of dinosaurs or that there
aren't similarities. I just said that just because birds are descendants
of dinosaurs (well, more specifically, from the dinosaur suborder of
theropods) doesn't mean that birds *are* dinosaurs.

That for 40 years it was unclear whether the skull was orangutan, human, or
something else. That birds have similar skeletons to dinosaurs in some ways
doesn't mean birds are dinosaurs.
Nuff said.

Actually that is exactly what descending means here. Birds are a
subgroup of dinosaurs. It works the same as you and me being an ape, a
monkey, a mammal etc. Although I admit that there are many people that
think that in the case of humans all logic has to be set aside and man
is an independent creation (and women are even created twice,
independently, but let's not go there).

Put that way, all the meat you may be eating - whether it be ham, pork
or even chicken - is actually... fish!

In fact, everything dessend from bacterias. So, you always eat
bacterias, or descendents of bacterias.
