Page 273 - The Origin of Birds and Flight

Experts at high-technology institutes say that in imitating insect flight, they regard them-
1
selves as being at the level of the Wright brothers in 1903. After describing of all these per-
fections in the fly, the way evolutionists claim that dinosaurs developed wings in order to
catch insects is a striking example of the backward logic they employ. Evolutionists forget
that flies too have wings, as well as even more amazing flying abilities. They cannot explain
how the fly—which beats its wings 500 to 1,000 times a second and has a greater maneuver-
ability than even the most advanced helicopters—came into existence.

* * A fruit fly can beat its wings 200 times a second
* * A fly is far more maneuverable than a jet fighter.

* * It can hang upside down from the ceiling.

* * It can swerve sideways, move backward and forward, and
turn around on the spot.

* * All these complex actions are directed by a nervous system
consisting of a very small number of neurons. Michael Dickinson, a
biologist who has studied this, expresses his amazement:
“We wonder how a nervous system the size of a sesame seed, on
which we have conducted all kinds of experiments, manages all this.”
