Penguins survived when dinosaurs died
Australian Broadcasting ^ | 4/7/2006 | By Marilyn Head for ABC Science Online

New analysis of the world's oldest fossil penguins confirms some birds survived the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, researchers say.

The penguins once lived in shallow seas off New Zealand's east coast 60 million years ago.

Now a molecular study, published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, links them closely to modern penguins.

Co-author Associate Professor Ewan Fordyce from the University of Otago says penguins are specialised birds that evolved much later than other species.

"The fact that they have been found within a few million years of the dinosaurs' extinction is compelling evidence that modern birds must have evolved earlier and diversified during the time of the dinosaurs," he said.

2. I'm not a freeper, but nothing in creation beliefs rule out adaptation.
Animals could reproduce according to its 'kind.'

Move along. Nothing to see here.

3. The Jesus horses died a couple thousand years ago, not tens of millions.
After all, the earth is only 6000 years old.

4. If your point is that there are few scientifically
literate freepers, you couldn't be more wrong. Some of the best evolution links come from patrick henry and his listolinks. There are many pro science pro evo posters in freeperville. In fact, there are many scientists posting. Or at least people who claim to work within the sciences. I may hate freepervile, but the evo threads are the exception.

5. I haven't worried about this in a long time. DNA will ultimately answer
all questions. No faith needed.
