Why do many artists draw feathers on dinosaurs when there is no evidence of actual feathers with the fossils?

There is another belief is that birds are actually living dinosaurs. Some prominent scientists refuse to accept the idea, but many still find the mystique of watching a dinosaur eating from a feeder in the backyard intriguing. This idea is prominent in the textbooks and media, even though no theory seems to fit the scenario accurately. Whether or not a mechanism for evolving birds from some small theropod dinosaur can be devised, many scientists are sure that it must have happened. It seems that almost all of the new dinosaur fossils are shown by artists to have feathers. Even though there were no clear evidence to support the feathered interpretation, the feathers are added to convince the public that science has found these things to be true. The next time you hear of one of these feathered fossils, ask to see the feather imprints- like the ones preserved so well in the fossilized bird Archaeopteryx.
Ultimately, all classification schemes and theoretical relationships are based on man's interpretation of the evidence. Starting with the truth found in God's Word will lead us closer to the true interpretation of the evidence than starting with the fallible ideas of men.
