86                    THE EVOLUTION DECEIT




                 The Origin of Mammals
                 As we have stated before, the theory of evolution proposes that some
            imaginary creatures that came out of the sea turned into reptiles, and that
            birds evolved from reptiles. According to the same sce-
            nario, reptiles are the ancestors not only of birds but
            also of mammals. However, there are great differ-
            ences between these two classes. Mammals are
            warm-blooded animals (this means they can gen-
            erate their own heat and maintain it at a
            steady level), they give live birth,
            they suckle their young, and their
            bodies are covered in fur or hair.
            Reptiles, on the other hand, are
            cold-blooded (i.e., they cannot
            generate heat, and their body tem-
            perature changes according to the         volutionists propose that
                                                      all mammal species evolved
