: Okay, with a closer look, I think I've found what you were referring to. The 1st reference does make mention of comparisons with a newt and a frog. But in the absence of any other creatures mentioned (or have I missed something else?), that's hardly a convincing argument. At the most, it says that dinosaurs are more similar to birds than amphibians. I think that could have been presumed anyway.

: And my other point is that it doesn't prove an evolutionary relationship. Dinosaurs and birds ''are'' similar (both are air-breathing vertebrates, for example), so you would expect similarities if they were both designed by the same creator. So demonstrating similarities does not prove an evolutionary relationship. Or have you already conceded that point?

: And apologies for any (unintended) inference that either you or Jrssr5 had move the YEC stuff.

: I've since found another source ([http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2007/04/13/t-rex-big-chicken]) which does mention other creatures that they compared against. However, it also says this:
{{QuoteBox|The sequence similarity between the T. rex and the chicken was 58% ,while it was only 51% similar to both frogs and newts. This compares with a reported 81% similarity between humans and frogs, and 97% between humans and cows}}
