A very widely held hypothesis is that birds evolved from earlier theropod dinosaurs over 150 million years ago.  The most-frequently claimed candidate for a [[transitional form]] is ''[[Archaeopteryx|Archaeopteryx lithographica]]'' which is from the late [[Jurassic]] (about 150 million years ago) of [[Germany]].

A widespread evolutionist claim is that birds evolved from earlier theropod dinosaurs over 150 million years ago.  The most-frequently claimed candidate for a [[transitional form]] is ''[[Archaeopteryx|Archaeopteryx lithographica]]'' which is from the late [[Jurassic]] (about 150 million years ago) of [[Germany]]. This is a flawed example, as creationists often point out that God could have just created a feathered dinosaur.
