For what it's worth, bats aren't rodents nor did they descend from rodents.

It's called humor. Ever seen "the Great outdoors"?

Re: bats.

Give it up ModernMan... back several posts, Havoc thinks that he should see this: "a bat with no wings, and then multiple stages of the bat with non-working wings, then shazam, wings."

A bat with no wings, dear Havoc, is not a bat. A bat with non working wings, dear Havoc never existed as a reproductive line of bats. Surely the flaps of skin between the fingers (Unlike bird wings, because, y'know, bats aren't birds... or rodents) gave proto bats an advantage. Say, oh I don't know, gliding. Like those other insectivore mammals that glide? Come to think of it, flying squirrels and flying foxes must give creationists fits.

Oh, who am I kidding.
