According to the theory of evolution, wings
emerged independently of each other four times:
in insects, flying reptiles, birds, and flying
mammals (bats). The fact that wing with very
similar structures developed four times—which
cannot be explained by the mechanisms of
natural selection/mutation—is yet another
headache for evolutionary biologists.
One of the most concrete examples of such
an obstacle in the path of evolutionary theory can
be seen in mammals. According to the accepted
view of modern biology, all mammals belong to

squirrels, anteaters, moles and mice all have their

In other words, according to the theory of evolution, mutations
completely independent of each other must have produced these creatures
"by chance" twice! This reality is a question that will give evolutionists
problems even worse than dizzy spells.
One of the interesting similarities between placental and marsupial
mammals is that between the North American wolf and the Tasmanian
wolf. The former belongs to the placental class, the latter to the marsupials.
Evolutionary biologists believe that these two different species have
completely separate evolutionary histories. 277 (Since the continent of
Australia and the islands around it split off from Gondwanaland (the
supercontinent that is supposed to be the originator of Africa, Antarctica,
Australia, and South America) the link between placental and marsupial
mammals is considered to have been broken, and at that time there were
no wolves). But the interesting thing is that the skeletal structure of the
