Help! I can't fly. My head is too big, and my wings are too small.

The idea of natural selection sounds great when considering deer. The deer that can sense
danger the quickest and run the fastest are able to escape the predator on a more
consistent basis.

However, other examples on the evolutionary tree have many laughable flaws. One of the
best is the thought that a bird began to evolve a wing. Why this would occur is not
answered by evolutionists.

The wing stub did not make the bird more adaptable in his environment. The wing was much
too small for the bird to fly. Why would a bird evolve a wing that was useless?

This is backwards from the evolutionary natural selection concept that birds adapt and
change in order to survive better in their environment. The bird with a half-size wing is
placed at a disadvantage in its environment. Why would the bird continue for millions of
generations improving a wing that was useless?

The theory of evolution is based on natural selection of the most adaptable member of a
species. A bird with a useless wing is at a severe disadvantage and the opposite from
natural selection. According to natural selection the members of the bird species with the
smallest useless wing would be the most adaptable and most likely to survive in the
largest numbers.

According to the theory of natural selection birds could never evolve to fly. Evolution is
simply nonsense. This is so funny. We are then led to believe that some birds got tired of
carrying around a worthless half-size wing so they grew fingers on the end to help climb
trees. The wings became arms and a new species was developed. Evolutionists actually
believe this nonsense.


Yes. They do. Like a religion.

You laugh at others for citing Wikipedia and Talk Origins articles,
all the while ignoring the fact that such articles often cite research
papers and other reliable sources, and then you go and copy stuff from
a website that provides nothing in the way of sources to back up its
strawman claims. Do you really want people to think you are a fool
maddy?

No evolutionary scientist has ever been under the impression that a
bird's wing began as a stub, you would know this if you got your
information from more reliable sources.

How did they develop wings if not by starting with a nub of some sort? You can't have it
both ways, DA. Either the wing formed through small accumulated changes or it didn't. If
it didn't, how did a fully formed wing magically appear?

Lloyd, wings clearly developed from existing limbs, not "nubs". You
seem to be under the impression tht birds used to have only 2 limbs,
their legs, and then sprouted wings. You really need medication.

Yeesh, talk about a classic lame argument.

Many birds, including flightless ones, use wings for display. Other
animals such as flying squirrels and flying lizards glide quite well
without fully-developed wings.

The idiot Creationist has not noticed that birds have four limbs like
every other tetrapod. The reason tetrapods have four limbs is due to
common evolutionary decent which the Creationist rejects. Thus no
"wing stubs" but instead a pair of limbs that were useful at every
stage of evolution, and slowly transformed into wings.

Before flying would come gliding. Gliding is useful. Before gliding
would come an ability to slow a fall. Slowing a fall is useful.
Creationists pretend over and over to be too ignorant to see the
obvious, and perhaps they are, but more likely is that they are simply
dishonest, manipulative liars.

The idiot creationist has missed the Hoatzin whose young have claws on
their wings which remain until it can fly.

I was working on a sarcastic piece as a response to the 'wing stub', but
couldn't come up anything even more idiotic. Does All-Flea really believe
the ToE teaches that the different limbs on animals all started as small
purposeless stubs on a sausage shaped creature? 'Botulus wieneri'. I

You really are making more of a fool of yourself than usual. It doesn't
matter if you look at flying birds, bats, or penguins: their wings are
specialized upper extremities. They didn't evolve from "nubs."

If you want to make a spurious argument against evolution, pick something
a little less obviously wrong, won't you?

I know what they will say. They will talk about flying lizards
and gliding snakes. Then they will work up to flying squirrels.
Etc. Etc. been there done that (as a Biologist myself).

As a side note, flying squirrels do not really "fly". My hunting
cabin back in the mountains was recently overtaken by "flying
squirrels". We thought it was rats that were trouncing our cabin
'till we actually trapped the culprits. They are crafty, and
amazing creatures.

I repeat "flying squirrels do not fly". They glide from tree to
tree via flaps of skin between their legs.

Yet squirrels do not have "wings". If evolution were a fact
squirrels would have wings by now and would not still be relying
on leg-flaps of skin and "gliding" from tree to tree. Especially
when you consider that evolutionists claim squirrels evolved into
humans.

"We thus learn that man is descended from a hairy, tailed
quadruped, probably arboreal in its habits, and an inhabitant of
the Old World." - (Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man)

It is absurd. They demand that we believe men came from
squirrels, but yet squirrels were unable to develope wings.

This is an allegorical story and should not be interpreted in a
literal sense. Look for the underlying meanings and embedded messages.
1. God can and will, from time to time, wipe out all creatures that
are no longer of use to Him and his on-going project on this planet.
The Yucatan Meteor Strike is a typical example of this.

2. God can expand the remaining phyla, species, etc., to fill any
voids that He will need filled later. Horizontal transfer of DNA works
very well, here.

3. God's on-going process is FAR beyond our human intelligence and our
ability to get it all figured out in the four dimensional space/time
that our brains are familiar with.

Physical models and Computer simulations were made of Microraptor. It could not fly. The
joints of its wing would dislocate if it tried.

It could not control itself during a glide, and it was powerless to begin flight from the
ground.

Plenty of birds cannot fly.

Not at all. Evolution takes time, and the gliding squirrels we see today
might one day be regarded as an intermediate form between a non-flying
squirrels species and a more 'bat-like' flying squirrel species.
And, yes I wrote "might" because we don't know what will happen. Evolution
has no predetermined goal.

'But humans don't have wings either, so it must be true'.

It's really not the point whether the story is a 'fact' or not. Creationists
claim that life forms can not evolve into new and sometimes very different
species. 'Once upon a time' is a very plausible and scientificly sound
desciption of how it could have happened.
'Once upon a time' is not a 'this is how it happened' (i.e. a 'fact'), but
rather a 'this is how it might have happened' story. Yes, I use the
hypothetical subjunctive, but it doesn't mean it's guess work or requires
faith to accept. I bet you can't point to anything in the scenario that is
proven to be false. It means that there is at least one way life could have
evolved into what it is today without any help from any
gods/creators/intelligent designers.

Why do you ask this question, and then RUN when I answer in the
affirmative? Once again, I base my understanding ON THE EVIDENCE.
Got that numbnuts? because I've explained that to you a gazillion
times and here you are demanding that everyone understand that you're

Here's my statement *yet* *again*: YES, ANDREW, *IF* *YOU* *CAN*

Now is there any other way in which I can dumb that down so that even
you get it?

YES, The Answer is YES.

Got that now?

Now are you going to debate this with me and support your position or
will you RUN as you have done *every* *single* *time* I've Challenged
you?

Now, to proceed...please state precisely what the criteria would be for
you to accept evidence for the intelligent causation for life's origin.

For, if there was an intelligent causation of life's origin, then there was
a creator. Or should we say with respect - Creator.

And if He's our Creator, then most likely He is the Creator of the whole
universe. For He would be a super, intelligent, all-powerful Creator.

What criteria would be acceptable to show that there was an intelligent
causation for the origin of life?

Your "YES" was in response to my question above, "Then will you

Is it known that penguins once had larger wings? Cruise missile are
flying logs compared to penguins in the water.

Have you ever seen flying squirels? The web between legs enables them
to soar down from one height to a lower one very quickly and giving
him an advantage over other squirels. It was an advantage even when
it began to evolve and so led to more web. There are all kinds of
birds that have wings they use to make large "hops" such as the
ostrich. A smaller wing still could have been used to run faster by
lightening the load.

Have you ever met a scientist who thinks we know everything? Only the
Bible claims that . Scientists are always figuiring out and getting an
increasingly more accurate picture of the real, natural world and how
it got the way it is. There are a number of ways wings could have
evolved but it is a bit difficult to determine now what way it did
evolve because we weren't there.

Why do you have four sharp canine teeth in your mouth? Did they get
there because God wanted you to have them, that he wanted you to know
you were just another omnivorous animal?

It really makes no sense to say evolution works on some things but it
could not work on some others and is therefore "nonesense." It would
be arrogant for scientists or anyone else to say that everything or
even anything can be COMPLETELY explained or that some things can
NEVER be explained.

You didn't mention evidence.

You suggested "debate" requires one to "accept the truth" and to
"surrender to the god of creation".

That isn't debate - as you yourself said, it is "surrender".

They will never answer. Instead they will say, "Present the evidence you have." This
cowardly, because they already know that science cannot test for God. Therefore, they
already know that presenting scientific evidence is impossible.

However, they will refuse to say what other kinds of evidence would be acceptable. This is
how they stay safe and warm inside their box of evolution.

It is easy to say "I do not believe there is a god because there is no evidence for god"
when the only evidence that is acceptable is evidence that cannot be provided.

And they also know that scientific evidence is that most reliable form
of evidence, so that no one who wishes certainty should accept anything
less.

If one is looking for certainty, nothing less than the bets of evidence
is good enough, and since creationists won't even accept that sort of
evidence, they can hardly argue that anything less reliable is
acceptable.

If you reject Evolution, and therefore necessarily reject the scientific
and natural evidence that science accepted in establishing Evolution,
what sort of evidence do you claim is MORE reliable that what you
already rejected?

You already set the standard by rejecting the scientific and natural
evidence which establishes Evolution, so until you can justify your
evidence as being MORE reliable than what you have already rejected, you
can hardly complain.

Thanks for this admission. You've now admitted that humans and

god.

Caught in another outright LIE.

How many times have I posted this EXACT offer (go Google it you LYING
piece of shit):

1. Provide *positive* *scientific* evidence for a creator or for a
creation
***OR*** <<<<<<-----------------< NOTE THIS, you LIAR
2. Provide *independent* *objective* evidence for a creator or for a
creation
***OR*** <<<<<<-----------------< NOTE THIS, you LIAR
3. Provide an intelligent rationale for a creator of for a creation

So you are a LIAR! but we all know that. Nothing new there.

What you don't realize is that once again one of you numbnuts whiny-
assed creationists has openly admitted that his god is completely
useless! lol!

You claim you have the one true god who is omniscient and omnipotent
and who desperately wants us to turn to him, and yet you can't find a
away to win us over to your position - and neither can this pathetic
little god of yours?

How ridiculous is that? Seriously!

Think about this for a minute, folks. Savor it. Embrace it warmly.
Think about what All Flee & Hide is openly and freely admitting here
about his beliefs and about his fake god - about how completely,
absolutely, eternally and utterly worthless his god is, how weak and
hopeless he is; how sad and lost his position is; how terminally
beaten the creationists are.

It is easy to reject your god when all of the evidence shows that he

That usually happens after you have shown a counter-intuitive belief to be
true. Like Newton saying that the planets are following the same law of
gravity as the apple that falls from a tree. "Obviously", if that
were true, all the planets would fall to Earth. Duh.
