Talk:Temporal paradox (paleontology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The previous version of this page was deleted for three stated reasons. The first is that it had inadequate references. The second is that editors felt its content should be moved to Origin of birds. The third is that an apparent consensus of the editors felt that the "temporal paradox" was, in their words, "balderdash". I hope that I have answered the first critique. The second is debatable, since it would make Origin of birds quite long and with a huge section on alternative theories much bigger than the content on consensus findings. i will consider a rewrite of the Origin of birds article in the near future.

But finally I would suggest that the third point is actually inappropriate. We may disagree with some hypotheses, but I feel that it is better policy to explain them and provide the critiques of them than it is to silence them or erase reference to them. In this example, a researcher trying to find out what the "temporal paradox" is can find a sketch of the arguments, the counterarguments, and good references to learn more, and they can make up their own minds.
