Hummingbirds are much better designed than helicopters — they can even fly upside down! Some contend that evolution must have brought about the hummingbird, evolving from less advanced birds that move their wings differently. This could no more happen than a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and build a perfectly functional helicopter.
If you were to make a robotic bird that could flap its wings 80 times per second, that could hover like
a helicopter one minute, and fly across 500 miles of open ocean, no one would ever conclude that it was the result of some accidental naturalistic cause.
Why then would anyone think that millions of years of time mutations and random chance
processes could produce such fantastic flying abilities as those found in hummingbirds?
To quote the patriarch Job, “Ask the birds of the air and they will tell you. Who among all these does
not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In whose hand is the life of every living thing.”
