There is nothing quite like the sight of an evolutionist squirming and tugging at his collar after being asked to explain how flight "evolved"! Like all tenets of mud-to-man evolution, you'll get plenty of "may have's", "could have's", and "uh's" but no facts or credible evidence. The reason is simple - there is no evidence of how this amazing mutational process occurred!1.
Presently the general consensus among evolutionists is that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs. This hypothesis has proven so weak, though, that it has recently come under serious scrutiny from within the secular evolutionist scientific community2. With the dinosaur-to-bird hypothesis on the verge of extinction, what will our evolutionist story-tellers dream up next?
Well, maybe I can help. Let's use as an example a squirrel-like creature. This poor creature has found himself on the brink of starvation due to population stress and other factors. So what's a squirrel to do? Following is an account of the first flight of the great flying squirrel ancestor Willie Wright.
(indeed I have heard on more than one occasion the following argument from some of the more mentally challenged evolutionists!)
1. The fossil record certainly
doesn't help the evolutionist's position. Considering the quantity of
avian (bird) and especially bat fossils that have been unearthed, if evolution
were true there should be hundreds of thousands of examples of transitional
forms demonstrating a gradual limb-to-wing development over time. But
there are none! Instead, birds and bats appear fully formed in the
fossil record, as would be expected if creation were true. Indeed,
the oldest fossil bat (called Icaronycteris by long-winded evolutionists)
is supposedly 50 million years old, yet is indistinguishable from a modern
bat! (see Glenn Jepson, Science 154:1333-1339, 1966). Additionally,
both non-flying and flying insects are found in the fossil record, without
a trace of intermediate insects in the process of obtaining the ability
to fly. Where are the ancestors to the flying insects, and
where are the intermediate steps? The answer is simple
- they don't exist because evolution is a fairy tale!
