Birds and Reptiles

Evolutionists make the claim that birds evolved
from reptiles. When we examine the structure of

these two living classes, however, we see that this
assertion is extremely unscientific.

volutionists claim that birds evolved from small-structured,
reptilian dinosaurs. A comparison between birds and
E reptiles, however, demonstrates that
these living classes are very different
from each other and no
evolution whatsoever could
have taken place between them.
There are many structural differences
between birds and reptiles. The most important one is their bone
structure. Dinosaurs, the alleged ancestors of birds, according to
evolutionists, have thick and solid bones because of their massive
structure. Whereas the bones of living and extinct birds are hollow and
thus very light. This light-weight bone structure is very important in the
flight of birds.
Another important difference between reptiles and birds is their metabolic structure. While
reptiles have the slowest metabolic rate in the world of living things, birds hold the highest
records in this field. For instance, the body heat of a house sparrow can rise up to
o
48 C because of its fast metabolism. On the other hand, reptiles are not even
capable of producing their own body heat and instead warm up under
the sun. Reptiles are the least energy-consuming animals in nature,
whereas birds are the most energy-consuming animals.

THE DISTINCTIVE TRAITS OF REPTILES
In the world of vertebrates, reptiles are one of
the groups that least resemble birds. While
birds are warm-blooded, reptiles are not even
capable of producing their own body heat. With
the structure of their skin, their metabolism,
and their skeletal system, reptiles are
ultimately created to live on land.
