into a flawless wing as a result of mutations—defects arising in its genes.
In addition, wings alone are not sufficient to turn a land-dwelling ani-
mal into a bird. Land-dwellers lack many other structures and mecha-
nisms that birds use to fly. As you’ve seen, birds’ bones are much lighter,
and their lungs and far more specialized coronary-circulation system
have very different structures and functions. Their muscular and skeletal
structures are different. It is impossible for these mechanisms to have
accumulated gradually, as evolutionists would have us believe.
In any case, fossils reveal that no such transition ever happened. This
situation, which represents such a predicament for evolutionists, was
described in a New Scientist article entitled, “Birds Do It . . . Did
Dinosaurs?”
Neither their hypothetical ancestor nor transitional forms linking it to
known fossil birds have been found. 38

MANY SPECIES EXIST IN THE FOSSIL RECORD WITH
THE PERFECT FORMS THEY HAVE TODAY

Evolutionists’ intermediate-form dilemma
also applies to the origin of birds.
(1) A dinosaur, many of which we see
in the fossil record. According to evolutionist claims, semi-
winged or partly-winged reptiles should
have existed before birds. Yet had such
creatures existed, the fossil record
1 should confirm this. Yet these heroes of
evolutionist scenarios are no more than
imaginary reconstructions, based on no
hard scientific evidence.
