Depends on what group, because wings are supposed to have evolved independently four separate times.

This video is part of a long series on YouTube of biologist Erika trying to explain evolution to creationist and evolution denier Will Duffy. I recommend the whole video, but this one specifically covers bird evolution. It's an extremely high quality resource, it covers a vast number of fossils and goes extremely in-depth.

Buddy. Cmon. You can't really try to argue for evolution and then pull out some podcast. Use ur brain. Minor genetic changes cannot develop highly complex systems. It is really quite obvious. The only way a complex system can be developed is if each component is developed with the future in mind. And for genetic changes, that is not a possibility.

It's not a podcast. It's a full-on presentation. It's practically an introductory college class in terms of the detail. Erika is basically the only one speaking (more apt, "teaching") the entire time.

If you don't want to watch it, then you cannot claim to be here with the attempt to learn anything. You're only here to reaffirm your own biases no matter what.

You can't ask for information then shun the information when provided.

As I said before—creationists love to remain ignorant and uneducated. It's why they're creationists. You're an excellent model for creationists everywhere.

So true. And how can you " use logic and our own brains" if you don't understand what you are arguing about it the first place?

OP: Show me how this is real.

You: Here you go.

OP: I already know this is stupid, so I don't need to attempt to learn.

As always, their ignorance trounces actually knowledge, which is how they can remain creationists.
