6 The PLAIN TRUTH @ Ambou ador ColJ, ge Artist's imaginary reconstruction of " Archaeopteryx." This elaborate drawing is based on the only evidence available, the fossil find below, left. CourtfUY Amer;,on Mu$ .... m of No/ural HiS lory © Ambassador College left, the actual fossil find which science says provides substantial evidence birds "evolved" from reptiles. Right, line drawing of the bones found.
THE FABLE OF THE FIRST FATAL FLIGHT Millions of years ago, according to evolution, our fine feathered friends, the birds, reared ugly, slimy heads from fetid seas, <strong>and</strong> slithered ashore. Over uncountable aeons of time, they climbed trees, leapt from branch to branch - <strong>and</strong> gradually grew feathers! As time kept passing, they " learned," says evolution, to hover, glide, soar, flitter, <strong>and</strong> even fly backward! BIRDS CAME FROM RE<strong>PT</strong>ILES - or so say the textbooks. But is such a theory LOGICAL? Can it be PROVED? Read, in this eye-opening article, about a "fowl" hypothesis - one for the birds! W HAT DOES it take to fly? Flight has fasc inated man, with his superior intellect, for thous<strong>and</strong>s of years. Still, instead of sprouting wings, rp.an has learned to make machines to carry him through the skies, <strong>and</strong> even into space. But is there any person who did not, as a ch ild, gaze at the fantastic array of beautiful birds everywhere in nature, <strong>and</strong> wish he could fly? There are birds that soar, birds that flutter, birds that dive, sail, migrate thous<strong>and</strong>s of miles, <strong>and</strong> even birds that fly backward. The huge albatross, roam ing the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, may attain an unbelievable wingspread of TWELVE FEET. That means he's as far from wing tip to wing tip as a 4' 11" man would be, st<strong>and</strong>ing on Lew Alcindor's head (Alcindor, the UCLA basketbaLl sensation, st<strong>and</strong>s 7' 10/S" tall ' ) . Tiny hummingbirds, not much bigger than big bumblebees, fly straight ahead with remarkable speed, <strong>and</strong> even back up in midair! And these birds, <strong>and</strong> all the other myriads of colorful, winged creatures, say evolutionists, came from slithering lizards! by G arner Ted A rm strong A Fabulous "Link" to Lizards! Universally heralded as the one great "link" between all birds <strong>and</strong> reptiles is "Archaeopteryx," a foss ilized, bi rd-like creature, found in stratified rock near a lake in Bavaria. "Archaeopteryx" means, sjmply, "ancient wing." But what is so unusual about " Archaeopteryx" ? The creature has characteristics that are strangely like those of LIZARDS, say the evolutionists - though also possessing the appearance of a bird. Evolutionary thought consists of ample conjecture, imagi nation, guesswork, <strong>and</strong> fantasy to make a mother goose rhyme pale into insignificance. And changing an ugly beast into a raving beauty is precisely what evolution claims happened! "Imagine," says a bird biologist, "a strange bird-llke creature the size of a crow" gliding over an ancient Bavarian lake. "Or was it more reprile-like? We cannot be surc," continues the storyfor "it appeared to have some of the features of both reptiles <strong>and</strong> birds." "Suddenly," goes the dramatic tale, our bird-like creature, with its feeble powers of flight, was unable to cope with a sharp gust of wind <strong>and</strong> fell into the shallow waters below <strong>and</strong> drowned." This is the Jayman's introduction into bird biology - the imaginary story of how something MIGHT have happened to preserve a fossil find in Bavaria; one which claims to link birds with beasts. What a tragic end to a short flight! If, of course, the bird EVER FLEW. The Missing Evidence Evolutionists readily admit the paucity of fossils to substantiate such a theory - but insist their theories are "clear" " IN SPlTE OF THE PAT CHINESS OF THE EVIDENCE"! You are about to see, with your own eyes, another example of the classic "FAITH" of evoJution! Because evolution, after all, IS FAITH! It is a dogmatic assertion that certain changes DID occur, <strong>and</strong> an almost religious-like CLINGING to that notion, IN SPITE OF all logic, contradictory evidence, or rational thought! Notice! "Archaeopteryx" was brought A
