LIAOXIORNIS

Age: 144-65 million years

Period: Mesozoic Age, Cretaceous

All the fossils unearthed show that birds have always existed as birds, and that they have
not evolved from any other life form. Darwinists, who maintain that birds evolved from ter-
restrial animals, are actually well aware of this, and are unable to account for how wings and
the flight mechanism emerged through an evolutionary process and through random mech-
anisms such as mutation.

The Turkish biologist Engin Korur admits the impossibility of wing evolution: "The common
feature of eyes and wings is that they can perform their functions only when they are fully
developed. To put it another way, sight is impossible with a deficient eye, and flight is im-
possible with half a wing. How these organs appeared is still one of those secrets of nature
that have not yet been fully illuminated." (Engin Korur, "Gozlerin ve Kanatlarin Sirri" ("The

Secret of Eyes and Wings"), Bilim ve Teknik, No. 203, October 1984, p. 25.)
