→Point of view: Why I don't agree with TimS' edits
::::I'll agree that maybe the original wording wasn't the best, but I still think it should be included in the article as it does pertain to the T Rex. Also, if the YEC section is to be included, why not information that supports/presents the evolution idea too?

TimS, the problem that I had with your edits, other than Ed's point about "finding" vs. a different wording, is that I don't believe the scientists have actually done what you said they have. That is, they have not shown "that the Tyrannosaurus rex is a distant cousin to the modern chicken". What they ''have'' done is show similarities between T rex and modern chickens. But is that similarity due to evolutionary relationship, or other causes?
Dr. Menton [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3043/ commented] on earlier work similar to this:
{{QuoteBox|...all of the similarities they describe would be expected in essentially any amphibian, reptile, bird or mammal. All small blood vessels are tubular and branched. All blood vessels, as well as the heart, are lined with special cells called endothelial cells. Among other things, these cells are necessary to avoid clotting of the blood inside the vessel. And of course, all blood vessels contain … blood cells}}
Do you know of any studies that have been done to show that the T rex material is ''closer'' to that of chickens than (a) other birds, or even (b) reptiles or other vertebrates?
Also, I don't agree with putting the YEC stuff in a separate section. This has the result of describing when they live, what they eat, etc., in the main sections, with the YEC stuff relegated to an "also ran". I will be reverting that.
