* Powerful nerve co-ordination that regulates the position of every
feather during flight . . .
None of these properties, of which more could be listed, is sufficient
for flight on its own. Yet birds are able to fly when all features are present
together. It is impossible for each one to have developed gradually, inde-
pendently of all the others, and then to adapt to one another. All these fea-
tures make bird flight possible, but none can do so independently, on its
own.
The researcher and writer Richard Milton is a documentary producer
for BBC and NBC and a member of the Geology Society, has this to say
about the aerodynamic structure in bird flight:
. . . I believe that this example represents a belief shared by many,
Darwinist or not: There is inevitability in the design of human beings and
other species. There is a delicacy and beauty in bird flight [that] other less
efficient flight designs lack, and this enables birds not just to conquer the
skies, but also to rule them. In addition, this perfect form can clearly be

j hen you consider how many elements and del-

icate calculations come into play to keep an air-
plane flying, you can see how difficult the action
performed by birds, truly is.
A plane’s length, height, wingspan, wing
surface area, take-off distance, maximum take-off and landing weight,
engine power, fuel capacity, maximum range, cruising speed . . .
Still more calculations continue during
flight: navigation, the altitude, how the plane
must maneuver, its fuel consumption, precau-
tions to be taken during poor weather condi-
tions . . .
Birds, on the other hand, never perform
such calculations. Right from birth, they have
a flight mechanism which determines all these
factors with very accurate calculations, result-
ing in exceptionally controlled, balanced flight.
