                   The Irreducible Complexity in Birds' Wings

                   Refutes Gradual Evolution

                   All these scientific facts invalidate the dino-bird evolution sce-
               nario. When the complex design in the bird wing is considered, it
               once again emerges that it is impossible to account for flight in terms
               of random evolution. The most important fact demonstrating this is
               the irreducible complexity in this perfect design. Accepting the hy-
               pothesis of the evolution of flight means accepting that wings were
               inadequate at certain stages. Yet an inadequate "wing" is inadequate
               for flight at all. In order for flight to take place, the creature's wings
               need to be flawless and fully formed. The Turkish evolutionist biol-
               ogist Engin Korur makes the following admission on this point:
                   The common feature of eyes and wings is that they can only per-
                   form their functions if they are developed as an entire entity. To put
