The common trait of the eyes and the wings is that they can only function if they are
fully developed. In other words, a halfway-developed eye cannot see; a bird with
half-formed wings cannot fly. How these organs came into being has remained one
of the mysteries of nature that needs to be enlightened. 31
The question of how the perfect structure of wings came into being as a result of con-
secutive haphazard mutations remains completely unanswered. There is no way to
explain how the front arms of a reptile could have changed into perfectly functioning
wings as a result of a distortion in its genes (mutation).
Moreover, just having wings is not sufficient for a land organism to fly. Land-
dwelling organisms are devoid of many other structural mechanisms that birds use for
flying. For example, the bones of birds are much lighter than those of land-dwelling
organisms. Their lungs function in a very different way. They have a different muscular
and skeletal system and a very specialised heart-circulatory system. These features are
pre-requisites of flying needed at least as much as wings. All these mechanisms had to
exist at the same time and altogether; they could not have formed gradually by being
"accumulated". This is why the theory asserting that land organisms evolved into aerial
organisms is completely fallacious.
All of these bring another question to the mind: even if we suppose this impossible
story to be true, then why are the evolutionists unable to find any "half-winged" or "sin-
gle-winged" fossils to back up their story?
Another Alleged Transitional Form: Archæopteryx
Evolutionists pronounce the name of a single creature in
response. This is the fossil of a bird called Archæopteryx which
is one of the most widely-known so-called transitional forms
among the very few that evolutionists still defend.
Archæopteryx, the ancestor of modern birds according to the
evolutionists, lived 150 million years ago. The theory holds that
some of the small-scaled dinosaurs named Velociraptor or
Archæopteryx fossil
Dromeosaur evolved by acquiring wings and then starting to
fly. Thus, Archæopteryx is assumed to be a transitional form that diverted from its
dinosaur ancestors and started to fly for the first time.
However, the latest studies of Archæopteryx fossils indicate that this creature is
absolutely not a transitional form, but a bird species bearing some characteristics distinct
from today's birds.
The thesis that Archæopteryx was a "half-bird" that could not fly perfectly was pop-
