EVOLUTIONISTS' CONFESSIONS
STATING THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF
REPTILES EVOLVING INTO BIRDS
T he impossible scenarios of evolution also require the life forms

that emerged onto dry land, first evolved into amphibians,
then reptiles and finally turned into flying creatures. Since
evolutionists are convinced that birds had to have evolved in some way,
they maintain that they evolved from reptiles.
But none of the physical mechanisms in birds-which have a totally
different anatomy from that of terrestrial life forms-can be explained in
terms of the gradual evolutionary model. First of all, birds' wings, and
moreover even one single feather in these wings, represent an enormous
dilemma for the theory of evolution. Evolutionists themselves state the
impossibility of a reptile ever being able to fly, admitting that the idea
conflicts with the fossil record.
William Elgin Swinton is an emeritus professor of zoology at the
University of Toronto and dinosaur expert of the Natural History
Museum in London:
There is no fossil evidence of the stages through which the remarkable
change from reptile to bird was achieved. 234
Alan Feduccia is professor of avian evolution, paleobiology and
systematics at the University of North Carolina:
How do you derive birds from a heavy, earthbound, bipedal reptile that
has a deep body, a heavy balancing tail, and fore-shortened forelimbs?
Biophysically, it's impossible. 235
