...scientists also used to think that, based on their analysis, there was just NO WAY that a bee could manage to fly...You have a citation for that? An actual published journal article or something? Or do you just like the sound of wind whistling through your head?

He was quoting Al Simmons; I believe Al meant to say bumble bees, not bees in general. I know there was a lot of speculation as to how the bumble bee could take off. It wasn't resolved until slow motion films showed that the bee was twisting its wings a little, thereby giving it enough lift.

You'll have to ask the person that said it. I didn't. It is the remark I was responding to from post 514.
Clever insult, nonetheless. You would be one of the evolutionists, I suspect.

Ummmm.....I posted that, not Rob Roy, and you darn well know that the technical physics of how bees actually stay aloft was a mystery until fairly recently....
