Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny—Let’s Play a Fantasy Game about Wings

The “evolution” of the wing presents a serious problem for evolutionists. In the process of trying to explain it, they resort to much hopeful self-delusion and science fiction. Consider the following speculation from James H. Marden, assistant professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University in University Park:

“Could early aquatic insects have used the surface of a pond for their own aerodynamic experiments? [Who is supposed to answer this question?] If so, they may well have stepped into what ecologists call predator-free space. Trout and salmon have existed for only about two million years. It is harder to estimate when the first surface-feeding fish emerged. But the jaw structures of bony fish fossils suggest that, until about 300 million years ago, most fish fed along the bottom or within the water column. In nature, not only the strongest but also the most active tend to survive. Individuals that can gather the most food or encounter the most mates pass on the most genes. . . .

“By rising atop the water and moving through the air—a medium fifty times less viscous than water—aquatic insects sent their lives into overdrive. Like rockets escaping the earth’s atmosphere, they freed their small bodies from the exhausting effects of drag and the need to keep their shapes streamlined. Once atop the surface, they were morphologically liberated. Forms and functions that once spelled death now offered unexpected advantages. [Emphasis added]”
