Scientist: Angels can't fly

Anyway, my Guardian Angel disagrees!

[driftdiver]

According to ‘scientists’ bumblebees shouldn’t fly either.

And what angels do is more a teleportation, hovering, time travel kinda thing.

[CodeToad]

Maybe his guardian angel is a lazy fat ass but mine has managed to fly fast enough to keep my stupid butt alive.

[Liberty Valance]

Well yes, but we like dogs and we dance fairly well.

Yep. Good example. That’s exactly the kind of impossible anatomy I was talking about.

nice toes on him too, btw.

As my high school science teacher once said,”with the small size of their wings in relation to their bodies,bees shouldn’t be able to fly”....

[gwilhelm56]

Yo Mr. Science Guy ... your same computer models say that the BUMBLEBEE cannot fly either...

This is a well known problem in flight of dragons. A large reptile would need far more wing surface and power than some human-sized angel. There are several solutions. One simply defines dragons as magical creatures, and therefore science doesn’t apply to them. Another method gives dragons control over gravity. I even read about beasts that have control over time.

Like 4 dimensional physics applies to extra dimensional beings. What a maroon.

"For sure, fairies don't fly."

If the Golden Gate Bridge is any indication, they drop like a rock.

Great minds think alike.....(mine was just a little slower!)
That’ll teach me to read through ALL the comments first! :)

What’s he say about reindeer?

I can’t figure out where anyone ever got the idea that angels were kind of androgenous humanoids with white wings, or worse yet, cute obese little babies. Often the first thing an angel says to a human in the Bible is: “Fear not,” because their physical appearance is terrifying. They are powerful and potentially deadly.

Dude, we already KNOW that such garbage already exists in what is the City of San Fransisco.

Now I have to go stare at Helen Thomas's ugly mugshots to get that image out of my head.

[headsonpikes]

Unfortunately, Satan and his angels can fly like b*stards!

They don’t obey no laws - especially not of physics!

[nina0113]

Angels are pure spirit. The wings in art are representative of a spirit’s ability to be operative as they will.

Exactly. Of course they can't actually "FLY", but that's because they have NO BODIES, not because their wings are too small.

The one angel I saw didn’t fly... she wafted.
