THE FABLE OF THE FIRST FATAL FLIGHT - Garner Ted Armstrong - January 1967

Garner Ted Armstrong

Millions of years ago, according to evolution, our fine feathered friends, the birds, reared ugly, slimy heads from fetid seas, and slithered ashore. Over uncountable aeons of time, they climbed trees, leapt from branch to branch - and gradually grew feathers! As time kept passing, they "learned," says evolution, to hover, glide, soar, flitter, and even fly backward! BIRDS CAME FROM REPTILES - 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! What does it take to fly? Flight has fascinated man, with his superior intellect, for thousands of years. Still, instead of sprouting wings, man has learned to make machines to carry him through the skies, and even into space. But is there any person who did not, as a child, gaze at the fantastic array of beautiful birds everywhere in nature, and wish he could fly? There are birds that soar, birds that flutter, birds that dive, sail, migrate thousands of miles, and even birds that fly backward. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
