It's mathematically impossible for bees to fly..

Problem is, we haven't found a way to tell them, so they just keep buzzin' along..

If you were a bit more informed, you would know that the tale refers to bumblebees, not all bees.

And you make my point perfectly. Predictions that evolution could not have occurred, predictions that bumblebees cannot fly, predictions that the mammalian immune system could not exist, etc., etc. are all equally disproved by the evidence. It is an observable fact that evolution has occurred; it is a theory as to how and why this came about.

Worse than a wife's tale, it's 'school-teacher-talk.

In the years prior to WW II, aeronautical engineers were studying the flight of bees and wasps in order to design another 'impossible' machine: the helicopter.

Bees fly.

Therefore, there is something wrong with the math. QED

(actually, in this case, I suspect that the math is fine, but that it's applied to an incorrect physical model. Garbage in, garbage out.)
