If there is no God then why is every flying animal a bird? If evolution was true wouldn't mammals fly too?

Answer 1

Well, the bible classifies bats as birds. So they don't count since these guys were inspired by God himself, and God should know what is a bird and what isn't.
Also the bible states there are things that fly with 4 legs. Insects have 6. So maybe at that time, nothing flew other than birds. This is great evidence for creationism, since we have insects with 6 legs that currently fly. Therefore God must have created them.

That was my attempt at answering in the irrational way many theists do, since your answer did capture the irrationality of many theists' "challenges" to evolution!

Answer 2

try doing your reasoning from this perspective , and see what happens. DNA is discovered by an intelligent entity. The entity plays with it and finds many variations and want to sort of have His own ant farm kinda thingy. He chooses earth because it has recently been 90% killed off because of a catastropphy. So you plant your many variations here and since you have been doing this for some time you pretty much have a balance worked out.
You see this makes way more sense than it all came together here. Anything that can happen by chance over a long period can be done in a lab. Maybe somewhere in the distant past on a truely stable planet there was evolution to the intricate form we hjave here today but not here where there are catastrophys every 10000 years. In a place like this the number of species goes down not up. Any one can see the possiblity of there being evolution sometime some where but not here. This place has probably served for at least two sets of proto types. When this bunch dies out they will take what they learned here and re-sead again.

There are others besides bats you know. Also there are insects.

to my satisfaction it has been proved that within species there is a kind of evolution. My thought is that the creator programed in variability for survival.

When one looks at the total time elapsed and recorded in geological events as far back as we can estimate and assume that time figuratively to be an 80 story building, then this wide variety of life has only existed here for the amount of time represented by the coat of paint on the roof. Since there was some variety when the dinos reigned supreme why would we assume this all happened after that distruction There are records of many thing but no record of our past. Even those skelatal remains we once thought might be our ancestors have proven not to be related, instead they are just another species gone extinct.

Guess what you like just call it a guess. My guess is that there was intelligent design by a creator whop is still at work and is interested in His creation, perhaps it is His job.

Answer 3

Well bats fly and they're mammals but according to evolution, birds evolved from lizards (however there is nothing in the fossil record to support that) But then I would question why bats fly and are not birds and no other mammals fly. The flying squirl doesnt actually "fly" they glide because of skin under their front legs. It just seems logical to be that everything was created according to its own kind since there is no evidence or record of anything becoming a completely different animal.

Answer 4

i could additionally prefer to point out which you do no longer easily comprehend the definition of evolution, or the belief in and of itself. the belief states that given time, organic determination will reason a inhabitants (emphasis on inhabitants) to evolve. And so, confident, you're acceptable. yet evolution isn't fake. in certainty, infrequently everybody disagree with evolution considering's got here upon interior the human inhabitants especially with the gene that motives lactose intolerance, a remnant from whilst we've been great apes walking around in Africa. So, except you're the two an ethologist or an evolutionary biologist, i could could desire to assert you may desire to in all probability examine issues before you're saying something that makes you seem, frankly, stupid. Have an incredible day!

Answer 5

Um.... bats fly and they're not birds.

In fact, they ARE mammals!

O.O Shocker!

Evolution is fact.

Answer 6

Like bats!! or how about insects? Uh, and some fish have been known to "fly". Also, there are some lizards that glide.

Answer 7

By now I'm sure you've realized that you've pulled a *****...those darned bats!!
Oh, and the humans with frequent flyer miles, that was cute.
Oh, and did you know...supposedly, bees can't fly...not aerodynamic or something, or so I read back when. Shhh...don't tell them!!!!!!

Answer 8

No b/c things evolve diff. um I'm christian but i believe in reincarnation, karma, meditation, evolution, big bang and lots of other stuff.

I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky...

Answer 9

the bat is a mammal and all bats fly.

Answer 10

Bats.
