dom mutations affecting different organs. In fact, one gets goose-pim-
ples at the mere thought of the number of Monod's roulette wheels
which must be kept spinning to produce the simultaneous transforma-
tion of scales into feathers, solid bones into hollow tubes, the out-
growth of air sacs into various parts of the body, the development of
the shoulder muscles and bones to athletic proportions, and so forth.
And this rewasting of bodily structure is accompanied by basic chan-
ges in the internal systems, including excretion. Birds . . . instead of di-
luting their nitrogenous waste in water, which is a heavy ballast, they
excrete it from the kidneys in a semi-solid state through the cloaca.
Then there is also the little matter of the transition, by ‘blind chance,’
from the cold-blooded to the warm-blooded condition. There is no end
to the specifications which have to be met to make our reptile airborne
or to construct a camera eye out of living software. 112
All this leads us to the single conclusion that birds cannot have
evolved from dinosaurs, because no mechanism could eliminate the
enormous differences between the two groups. Even evolutionist scien-
tists admit the truth of this evidence, which shows once again that the di-
no-bird hypothesis is simply a Darwinist myth.
