The Dark Spell of Darwinism

There are two evolutionist theories about how dinosaurs started to fly:
the "arboreal" theory and the "cursorial" one. According to the first, the an-
cestors of birds were reptiles that lived in trees and whose forelimbs devel-
oped into wings over the course of time as they jumped from branch to
branch. The second theory proposes that land-dwelling dinosaurs opened
and closed their front legs while chasing insects and, as a result of this
movement, their legs developed into wings that let the dinosaurs "take off."
The author of this theory is John Ostrom, an evolutionist professor emeri-
tus at Yale University's Department of Geology and Geophysics.
You may imagine that this kind of transformations could happen only
in cartoons or fairy tales, but amazingly, very intelligent individuals who
have become high-ranking professors in their particular disciplines have
proposed similar scenarios. We
can illustrate the logical defi-
ciency of their ideas with another
example: In an age before science
had not developed, a number of
people believed that sheep grew
from a plant! Today, this is cer-
tainly nothing but superstition,
and the claim that a creature grew
wings from jumping from tree to
tree or from chasing after flies is
just as much of a superstition.

To explain how birds first came into
existence, imaginative evolutionists
proposed that reptiles climbed into
trees and were forced to develop
wings as they jumped from one
branch to another. Their alternative
solution to this question is that an
imaginary running dinosaur grew
wings to help it catch insects.
