Birds are perhaps one of the best examples of evolutionist absurdity, and yet they speak of it like it is their claim to excellence. Evolutionists believe that lizards morph into birds over time. Lets take a look at that fantasy more closely.
We’ll start with the example that makes their theory look the dumbest. Birds are all bipedal, which means that although the vast majority of them fly, when they walk they do so on 2 legs. Have you ever seen a picture or illustration of a bipedal lizard? Guess what... it has huge legs and tiny arms. Birds, on the other hand, almost always have tiny legs relative to their huge wings. They have to be shaped that way in order for them to fly through the air. This means that for lizards to evolve into birds, they had to go from large legs and tiny arms to just the opposite... tiny legs and enormous wings. Am I crazy, or does this seem absolutely idiotic to anyone else? I was watching a debate once between an evolutionist and a creationist (see our links page), and the evolutionist used the “lineup trick” (top of page 1) in an attempt to show his “strongest argument” for the evolution from lizards to birds. He had a nice lineup of lizards, very nice... but when he jumped from lizard to bird and the difference in the arm size of the lizard to the wing of the bird became apparent, I burst into laughter, because it was so absolutely stupid.
If it doesn’t seem stupid yet, consider the following:
- Birds have absolutely spectacular eyesight, several times better than humans. Lizards eyesight does not come anywhere close, and is generally far inferior to that of humans. How could lizard eyes suddenly become so vastly improved beyond all logical reasoning, all as part of random chance? Keep in mind that birds can have over 1 billion photoreceptors, and humans have 126 million.
- Lizards are cold blooded, and birds are warm blooded. Duh.
- Birds are essentially nothing at all like lizards. The respiratory system is far different, the bone structure is lighter, and birds obviously have feathers. It would be impossible for the lizard respiratory system to morph into the bird respiratory system while continuing to function.
- At what point did lizards start hanging out in tree branches and singing during the daytime?
How did the first wings form? Did an animal understand what body structure would be necessary for flying, and somehow magically “adapt” all the necessary traits? What did birds do before they could fly, and what on Earth would that transitional “missing link” look like? I would love to see an artists rendition of a half lizard, half bird, that was in the process of shrinking it’s legs and growing huge wings, but couldn’t fly yet. I imagine that creature wasn’t good at much at all.
