Which is why I said all birds are dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs are birds. What does that have to do with anything?
Nothing to do with theropods vs. birds.
Your link says that is a "more handy general definition," not a scientific one. Furthermore, the very next paragraph of your link says-
Did you even read it? It literally contradicts your claim. It can't contradict your claim any more clearly. And yet you use it to make your point that birds are not dinosaurs?
Ah, so birds are theropods.
So theropods both are and are not dinosaurs?
Yet again- paleontologists disagree with you. Do you have a degree in their field?
... right, "Archaeopteryx" can fly, but not all "dinosaurs" can fly. That distinction is crucial.
In an entirely different manner, "dinosaur" != "theropod" bc the former is a common word, an unscientific one, whereas the latter is a more precise one. If you had originally asked me are birds theropods, I would have been forced to say yes (entirely unbegrudgingly though, I'm just emphasizing how I would have no choice), but that's not what you asked: you talked about DINOSAURS vs. birds, which is an entirely different thing, being in the realm of common use of those words.
Anyway, I agree that it is good to learn more about things, and as we do, we become better ourselves.:-)
No one said all dinosaurs can fly or that all dinosaurs are birds.
I said birds are dinosaurs.
Paleontologists say birds are dinosaurs.
The link you provided me said birds are dinosaurs.
Only you disagree.
"Common use" of the words does not matter. Birds are dinosaurs in every biological way.
