Bird wings work great. What's the point of creating a whole new structure for bat wings?

Why not create bat wings. Bat wings work great too. Why didn't you go the other way with it. When you can make a bat out of nothing but elements, color it, size it, set it's environment and design something for it to eat all by speaking it into existance, I think at that point you'll be in a position to compare notes with God. Till then - until you have some basis on which to know His purpose in having done it the way he chose to do it, I think it is well beyond presumptuous to assume you could have done better. And not being in possession of all the facts or how everything works while HE does..

They work no better than bird wings, AFAIK. So what's the point? You need to give one rational reason other than "God felt like it."

If God loves wings so much, why not create a different wing type for each bird?

...and yet, that's precisely what the "intelligent design" folks presume to do. That's the entire *basis* of their "analysis".

Thanks for pointing out that the ID folks are just winging it, by presuming to know what an ultra-advanced "designer" would or would not do, and presuming to make any conclusion about whether Earthly life matches what such a designer would design.

On the other hand, life produced by evolutionary means would result in life with a number of specific characteristic features, and that's exactly what we find. Why, then, do you not accept the most obvious conclusion, which is that life arose by evolutionary means?
