With cladistics, Darwinism, purporting to be a theory
that starts from and relies on scientific evidence, has been re-
vealed to be no such thing, but a dogma that distorts scientific

evidence, changing it according to suppositions—much like
Lysenkoism, the official scientific doctrine of the USSR in the
time of Stalin. It was nonsense concocted by Trofim Lysenko,
who rejected the laws of genetics and was an adherent of
Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Like Lysenkoism, Darwinism, too, thus became recognized as
having no basis in science.

The Unbridgeable Differences Between

Birds and Dinosaurs

Not only Prum and Brush's thesis, but every version of
the "birds are dinosaurs" theory has been discredited. The dif- Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
ferences in anatomical structure between birds and dinosaurs

cannot be bridged by any process of evolution. Here I outline
some of these differences, examined in detail in my other
books:
1) The structure of birds' lungs is totally different from
that of reptiles and all other land vertebrates. Air is unidirec-
tional in birds, it always flows in one direction through the
lung. So a bird is able to constantly take in oxygen and expel

carbon dioxide at the same time. It is not possible that this
structure, peculiar to birds, could have evolved from the
lungs of an ordinary land vertebrate. Any creature possessing
