THERE ARE NO DARWINISTS:

T. Rex Tiny Arms Were Little Used (AP, 10/14/16) 

It turns out The Field Museum's T. rex Sue didn't use those tiny arms very much.

At least that's the initial conclusion from a detailed look at the fossil's right forelimb at the Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago. Researchers there used a scan to generate a 3-D image of the arm bones down to the cellular level. [...]

Precisely why T. rex had forelimbs is one of the enduring mysteries of dinosaur paleontology.
