There is conclusive evidence that many dinosaurs WERE feathered, and denying this is just going to attract ridicule. What's the big deal about feathered dinosaurs?
'''Deinonychus''' was a small, [[bipedal]], [[carnivore|carnivorous]] [[dinosaur]]. It is generally believed among [[evolutionist]]s to have existed about 65-70 million years ago during the [[Cretaceous]] period, but [[young earth creationist]]s accept it as having been created on the [[sixth day]], along with all the other dinosaurs. It had a long, [[sickle]]-like [[claw]] on the end of its big toe. ''Deinonychus'' [[fossils]] were first discovered in 1931 by [[Barnum Brown]] in southern [[Montana]]. In 1964 the fossils were designated ''Deinonychus antirrhopus'' by [[John Ostrom]] and [[Grant Meyer]].

Deinonychus are believed by many evolutionists to have been [[feather]]ed, citing other supposedly feathered dinosaurs such as [[microraptor]]<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinonychus</ref>. However, whether or not even the related specimens were feathered is questionable. In fact, the only fossils that allegedly show these feathers are from [[China]], and because of the infamous [[archaeoraptor]] fraud, it is very possible that these other fossils are also forgeries<ref>http://www.creationwiki.org/Feathered_dinosaur]</ref>.
Deinonychus are believed by many scientists to have been [[feather]]ed, citing other feathered dinosaurs such as [[microraptor]] and especially its close relative Velociraptor mongoliensis, fossils of which have quill knobs for the attachment of feathers on the forelimb bones. <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinonychus</ref>.
