The respiratory system of birds also differs greatly from that of reptiles. Reptiles and mammals
take air into their lungs through their trachea and then give it back through the same pipe. In
birds, however, air makes a one-way journey through the lung channels; it enters from one side
and departs from the other. Thanks to this respiratory system that does not exist in any other
living class, birds make extremely efficient use of air. This system enables them to fly even at an
altitude of 8,000 meters, where oxygen is very scarce.
Another characteristic that raises an unsurpassable barrier between birds and reptiles is feathers,
a structure specific to birds. The bodies of reptiles are covered with scales, whereas the bodies of
birds are covered with feathers.
Put briefly, numerous differences between birds and reptiles definitively refute the evolutionist
claim that reptiles gradually evolved into birds. Birds and reptiles are living classes God created
to be quite distinct from each other.
Alan Feduccia, a professor from the University of North Carolina, strongly opposes the theory
that birds have a kinship with dinosaurs on the basis of scientific discoveries, despite the fact
that he is an evolutionist himself:
Well, I've studied bird skulls for 25 years and I don't see any similarities whatsoever. I just don't
see it... The theropod (a major group of dinosaurs) origins of
birds, in my opinion, will be the greatest embarrassment of
paleontology of the 20th century. 33
