Orville and Wilbur Fly. I learnt about them in publik skrool! :)

You would have thought by now they would have evolved and we wouldn’t have any more insects. Or maybe some of them just hang around to give the birds and frogs something to eat?

Insects and birds evolved wings but man just had to learn to fly the best way he could, is there something out of whack here with this evolution stuff or am I missing something?

Full disclosure -- I don't accept evolution. I consider it far-fetched. However, that is not the point of the comment I'm about to make.

This is a pointless article which reeks of desperation for publication. If we totally agree with mainstream evolutionary theory, we can ask ourselves: "What was the first creature to fly?"
Was it a bat? No, mammals evolved rather late, didn't they?
Was it a bird? No, birds evolved from dinosaurs, didn't they?
Was it a pterodactyl? Well, they are 150 million years old, but ...
Was it an insect? Well, we have long known of the giant dragonflies of 300 million years ago, so ...

Great headline: "Insects were First creatures To Fly"
That's real ground-breaking stuff.

Sure about that?

And then all the other animals just sat around looking at them until they sprouted wings.

Uhm, this was commonly accepted information 40 years ago when I was in grade school, and well before that I would think. How and why is this suddenly a “news” story?

You might find this page (Thunderbolt Projects) interesting, I sure did.
