Wings


News today that will upset traditional evolutionists out there...

The past just keeps getting weirder - a dinosaur with 2 sets of wings:

"The 128-million-year-old animal -- called Microraptor gui... was about 2? feet long and had two sets of feathered wings, with one set on its forelimbs and the other on its hind legs."

Maybe in China April Fool's Day happens a few months earlier? Or perhaps this is a freak of evolution, that disappeared shortly afterwards, just like unicorns and dragons?

A golden rule for orthodox evolution scientists is that once a species loses something, it cannot return - for example, humans will never grow monkey tails again (if we ever had them). A whale will never grow legs again. Evolution is a one-way journey. But now there is finally evidence that goes against this rule, and therefore supports sudden complex advantageous mutations.

"So it has been with great surprise that researchers have greeted a paper in the current Nature in which an international team of researchers reports evidence that wingless stick insects have re-evolved wings at least four times in the history of the group."
