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.
