to account for bird flight. However, elements in both scenarios
make them invalid and illogical. The most important of them is that
the fossil record invalidates these claims. Secondly, wings possess

irreducible complexity: they function only if they exist as an entire
unit. The half-wing or newly emergent wing suggested by evolu-
tionists would be worse than useless. Third, in genetic terms, no

mutations that can add new beneficial features to a species or im-
prove already existing ones. For that reason, if a flight system were
not already determined in a creature's DNA, it is impossible to add

new "flight-worthy" data to that DNA via random mutations.
In other words, blind coincidence can produce no new infor-
