Do flying insects defy the laws of science?

It would appear that insect do not defy the laws of science.  Since the laws of aerodynamics were established by God, and He created insects with the ability to fly, it would be against the very nature of God for them to defy such laws.  Researchers are only now just beginning to understand how insects are able to stay aloft.

It turns out that insects create a special vortex pattern (a spiraling tube-like pattern of airflow) along the edges of their wings. This gives them the extra lift they need to fly.  When researchers tried to duplicate this in a wind tunnel, though, they failed.  They discovered that the insects’ wings have a complex motion of rotation, changing the arc of the wing.

Only after millions of dollars, and years of research, are scientists now beginning to understand why insects can fly.

But evolutionists tell us that insects are products of random processes over millions of years!  No wonder God’s Word states that “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.”    Psalm 53:1 KJVER
 

How are mutations evolution’s enemy?

Mutations are changes that occur in our genes, our DNA.  They are the result of such things as harmful radiation, chemical contamination, etc.  Evolutionists admit that such changes cause errors in our genes.  But they also claim that sometimes mutations can produce new information.  For instance, to change a reptile into a bird, scales to feathers, for example.  However, such changes require a lot of added 'new information' that was not previously available in the genes of the reptile.

Dr. Lee Spetner, formerly of Johns Hopkins University, has spent years searching for that one piece of evidence to show that a mutation can actually increase information.  In his book Not By Chance, he said:

"But in all the reading I’ve done in the life-sciences literature, I’ve never found a mutation that added information.   [But] All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not to increase it.

In other words, real science in the present shows clearly that mutations cause things to lose information.  This is exactly what the Bible teaches: because of sin and the curse, everything is running down, not improving.

Evolutionist Quote of the Month

But the reports of Eve’s death may have been greatly exaggerated.  Indeed, no one argues with the idea that all modern humans inherited their mitochondrial DNA from one common female ancestor.  But what is in dispute is the hypothesis first put forth in 1987 by molecular anthropologist Allan Wilson of University of California, Berkeley who claimed to know Eve’s age and whereabouts—that she lived about 200,000 years ago in Africa.”
