TALES FROM EVOLUTIONISTS
                                                  Under the pretence of being scientific,
                                                    evolutionists often allege that "small
                                                     dinosaurs took wing and became
                                                      birds." However, their explanation
                                                      of how this transformation took
                                                      place is practically a fairy tale. As
                                                      these evolutionist sketches
                                                    illustrate, they say that some
                                                 dinosaurs who flapped their front legs
                                              to hunt flies gradually "took wing". A sheer
                                      figment of the imagination, this scenario brings
                            along an interesting question with it: How then did flies,
                      which were not only already flying but also displaying an
                      aerodynamic wonder by fluttering their wings 500 times a
                      second synchronously, take wing?
                                                                                                          ASYMMETRIC
                In addition, it has been proved that two other points which                              FEATHERS
                evolutionists mention while presenting Archaeopteryx as an                              The feathers of all

                                                                                                      are asymmetric. This

                intermediate form. It has been observed that two bird species                       aerodynamic function
                living today, touraco and hoatzin both have claws on their wings by                to birds. The fact that

                which to hold on to branches. Also, there have been different bird species
                                                                                                   were also asymmetric

                famous ornithologists, such as Martin, Stewart and Whetstone, the tooth structure  evolutionary claim that
                of Archaeopteryx was completely different from that of reptiles. 35  All these findings  this bird could not fly.
                show that the evolutionary claims that Archaeopteryx is an intermediate form have
                no scientific basis.
