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

no scientific basis.

Confuciusornis,
whose fossil is seen
here, lived in the
same geological
period as
Archaeopteryx.
Unlike
Archaeopteryx,
however, it had no
teeth in its beak.

HOATZIN'S CLAWS
Some bird species living today have
features similar to those of Archaeopteryx.
For instance, the hoatzin bird also has
claw-like structures on its wings.
