I don't know, is there someone else besides God that has the power to create life?
You tell me.
You know very well, so why do you need to be told that life is an inevitable result of nature given the proper conditions...Where there is liquid water there is life...
Talk is cheap...I challenge you to back up your loose talk with evidence that evolution scientists just make stuff up...I'll wait, but won't hold my breath.

Hmm.. I don't know if that's true. Life may not be inevitable where there is liquid water, on other planets for example.

This post here is the type of loose talk that needs to be backed up. Evolutionists state inane stuff like this and act as if it is factually true. Where is the evidence? There is none - evolution is the biggest hoax in history.

It's a process that's as natural as the formation of oceans or continents.
Archaeopteryx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the late 19th century, it has been generally accepted by palaeontologists, and celebrated in lay reference works, as being the oldest known bird, though some more recent studies have cast doubt on this assessment, finding that it is instead a non-avialan dinosaur closely related to the origin of birds.[1]
Thanks for pointing out that Archaeopteryx is widely accepted as a bird. That's the point, isn't it? Did you even bother to read the footnote in your quote? Here it is:

Despite only tentative statistical support, this result challenges the centrality of Archaeopteryx in the transition to birds. If this new phylogenetic hypothesis can be confirmed by further investigation, current assumptions regarding the avialan ancestral condition will need to be re-evaluated.
So you're declaring that Archaeopteryx is not a bird based on tentative statistical support in favor of a new hypothesis that has not yet been confirmed.
Now, aside from that, what is your point? Here is what you claimed in post #13 of this thread: "Birds were non-existant during the dinosaur age."
And now you're quoting a study about Archaeopteryx which proposes a reassessment of Archaeopteryx and avian phylogeny, categorizing Archaeopteryx as coexisting with the direct Avian ancestors of modern birds -- which would mean that birds coexisted with Archaeopteryx, 170,00,000 years ago, 105,000,000 years before dinosaurs disappeared.
Here's a diagram of the new organization of the minority report you're supporting:

Here's some useful advice -- when you're claiming that birds did not co-exist with dinosaurs, don't cite a study stating that birds and dinosaurs co-existed for over 100 million years...
