             bat's ultrasound changes according to its surroundings, and sonar system
             as a whole is used in the most efficient manner.
                 It is impossible to be blind to the mortal blow that the bat sonar
             system deals to the theory of gradual evolution through chance mutations.
                     It is an extremely complex structure, and can in no way be
                          accounted for by chance mutations. In order for the system
                            to function at all, all of its components have to work
                               together perfectly as an integrated whole. It is absurd
                                 to believe that such a highly integrated system can be
                                   explained by chance; on the contrary, it actually
                                demonstrates that the bat is flawlessly created.
                                    In fact, the fossil record also confirms that bats
                               emerged suddenly and with today's complex
                                         structures. In their book Bats: A Natural
                                         History, the evolutionary paleontologists
                                        John E. Hill and James D. Smith reveal this
                                      fact in the form of the following admission:
                                The fossil record of bats extends back to the early Eocene
             Bats' sonar system  ... and has been documented ... on five continents ... [A]ll
             is more sensitive
             and efficient than  fossil bats, even the oldest, are clearly fully developed
             any technological  bats and so they shed little light on the transition from
             sonar systems so   their terrestrial ancestor. 157
             far constructed.
                                     And the evolutionary paleontologist L. R.
                                Godfrey has this to say on the same subject:
                 There are some remarkably well preserved early Tertiary fossil bats, such as
                 Icaronycteris index, but Icaronycteris tells us nothing about the evolution of
                 flight in bats because it was a perfectly good flying bat. 158
                 Evolutionist scientist Jeff Hecht confesses the same problem in a 1998
             New Scientist article:
                 [T]he origins of bats have been a puzzle. Even the earliest bat fossils, from
                 about 50 million years ago, have wings that closely resemble those of
                 modern bats. 159
                 In short, bats' complex bodily systems cannot have emerged through
             evolution, and the fossil record demonstrates that no such thing
             happened. On the contrary, the first bats to have emerged in the world are
             exactly the same as those of today. Bats have always existed as bats.
