ccording to one of the evolution scenario’s claims,
                            some water-dwelling amphibians developed into fully,
                            terrestrial reptiles. One branch of this group evolved
                            further, constituting the ancestors of today’s birds.
                  According to evolutionist claims, these imaginary creatures
              descended from their alleged reptilian ancestors some 150 to 200
              million years ago, acquiring new characteristics gradually and in
              stages until they emerged as fully-fledged birds. As this scenario
              requires, their attempts at flying also emerged in stages before tak-
              ing on its presently flawless ability.
                  However, despite all the efforts expended over the last century
              and a half, not a single trace has ever been found of the half-bird,
              half-reptile creatures that evolutionists assume must once have
              lived. No transitional forms covered half in scales and half in feath-
              ers, or with half-developed wings, have ever been found in the
              Earth’s geological strata. In fact, contrary to what’s been conjec-
              tured, only fossils with perfect structures—the remains of flawless,
              fully formed living things—have ever been discovered.
                  But despite the absence of any evidence to support their unsci-
              entific tale, evolutionists doggedly persist in their claims, hoping
              that these fictitious fossils will one day be found. Their evidence for
              their impossible dreams go no further than outright distortions and
              biased interpretations of the facts, as you shall see in detail in the
              following chapters.
                   There are more than 10,000 species of birds on Earth, each of
                 which possesses its own unique features. Hawks have very sharp
                 eyes, broad wings and pointed talons. Their eyesight is so keen
                 that they can make out a baby rabbit on the ground from hun-
               dreds of meters up in the air.
                  Plovers, weighing just a few hundred grams, flap their wings for
              88 hours non-stop on the journey of 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles)
              that they make every winter, crossing the ocean without mishap.
