An Example of Evolutionist Scenarios: Dinosaurs that
Suddenly Developed Wings as They Chased after Flies
Humans are unable to rise and lower their arms even ten times a sec-
ond, yet some flies are capable of beating their wings 1,000 times a second.

They also beat both their wings simultaneously. Even the slightest lag in
one wing would impair the fly's balance, but such an event never occurs.
Evolutionists should account for how the perfect flying ability in
flies emerged, rather than coming up with scenarios about how flies in-
duced a much clumsier life form-the reptile-to be able to fly.
Robin Wootton, an evolutionist British biologist, admits the signs
of the sublime Creation in the fly and sets out the dilemmas inherent in

the question:
The better we understand the functioning of insect wings, the more sub-
tle and beautiful their designs appear... Insect wings combine both in one,
using components with a wide range of elastic properties, elegantly as-
sembled to allow appropriate deformations in response to appropriate
forces and to make the best possible use of the air. They have few if any
technological parallels-yet. 257

Pierre Paul Grassé is the former president of the French Academy
of Sciences and author of the book Evolution of Living Organisms:
We are in the dark concerning the origin of insects. 258
