"Sinosauropteryx prima is a transition between reptiles and birds." (Claim #E6075)
Response
Evolutionists no longer believe this. What they thought were “feathers” ended up being parallel arrays of fibers. 1

Notes
- Sarfati, 1999, p. 60: “We should remember that the media often sensationalize ‘proofs’ of evolution, but the later disproofs, even by other evolutionists, hardly rate a mention. For example, in 1996 there were headlines like ‘Feathered Fossil Proves Some Dinosaurs Evolved into Birds.’ This was about a fossil called Sinosauropteryx prima. Creationist publications advised readers to be skeptical and keep an open mind. They were vindicated when four leading paleontologists, including Yale University’s John Ostrom, later found that the ‘feathers’ were just a parallel array of fibres, probably collagen.” ↩
