There has never been a serious claim by scientists that bees, bumble or otherwise, can't fly. It is a fact that insect flight is quite different from airplane flight, or even bird flight.

However, the false claim continues to show up on creationist websites to demonstrate that they have no regard for simple truth.

"creationist websites to demonstrate that they have no regard for simple truth."

I have yet to see provable truth on any creationist website anywhere. Attack science with faith. Doesn't work.

I've never seen it posted on a creationist site. I had heard about it for a while. What I had heard was that it was not understood precisely how they flew, not that they couldn't fly (which would be a silly thing to say since they are seen flying all the time).

And again, it was Al Simmons not RobRoy who made the claim.

>>There has never been a serious claim by scientists that bees, bumble or otherwise, can't fly.<<

Is this some sort of joke? When has anyone said that bees can't fly? There were those that said it "seems to be" impossible, but that is quite different. It just meant we still needed to learn something about a behavior that is obdserved on a daily basis.

I think the previous semantical arguments you were having have successfully moved you to a completely different thought plane. Allow us to catch up. ;)
