30 The Origin of Birds and Flight

These general criticisms are the first inconsistencies that spring to
mind, but these theories are also invalid in numerous other ways. For
example, no intermediate fossils exist to show transitional wing changes
between the periods of pre-flight and active flight. In other words, there
is no trace of half-winged, half-fore legged reptiles that should have
leaped from bough to bough while it developed wings. (For detailed
information, see, Harun Yahya’s The Transitional Form Dilemma, Istanbul:
Global Publishing.)
Evolutionists still maintain that dinosaurs turned into birds, but
must find evidence for that claim from the fossil record. If dinosaurs did
indeed develop into birds, then half-dinosaur, half-bird transitional crea-
tures should have left fossils behind. For many years, evolutionists
maintained that Archaeopteryx represented just such a transition. Yet new
fossil findings have shown that Archaeopteryx's reptilian features have
been exaggerated and that there are no grounds for regarding the crea-
ture as a primitive bird. (For details, refer to the chapter, “Archaeopteryx is
an Extinct Species of Bird, Not an Intermediate Form.”)

Evolutionist explanations
of how dinosaurs turned
into birds are tall stories,
no different from fairy
tales. These claims lacking
any scientific basis, are
merely the product of peo-
ple’s imaginations, and
actually indicate evolution-
ists’ despair. Any theory
that cannot account for
the different flight systems
in insects cannot claim
that dinosaurs evolved
into birds.
