If evolution is real, then why can't people fly?

Well duh I think the answer to that is quite obvious!! We're still evolving from a crawl and barely managing to get around on two feet... Some more so than others LOL

Wow, where did you get that footage of a zombie?

It was quite easy, actually! I just went to my local Democratic headquarters... They run rampant there.

I don't know... but Jesus could walk on water, which clearly means that he evolved from a Basilisk Lizard.

Somebody needs to make a Jesus-Lizard statue now. I think you may have started a new cult.

But that lizard can run on water, that's way better than what Jesus could do, I mean walking is simple. It would make more sense that Jesus evolved into the lizard.

Are you assuming that Jesus couldn't run on water?

If creation is true why do we have all of these horrific genetic defects?

You're saying evolution caused those defects?

Yes, since evolution is a process of random mutation sometimes those mutations cause major defects. If we were designed by some intelligent creator then you wouldn't expect to see those kinds of major defects, especially if the creator is supposed to be benevolent, because many of those defects result in extreme pain, suffering and death, and they're the lucky ones. The survivors go through life feeling like freaks.

Well Christians (Most) Believe it was the result of original sin....

Because that is not how evolution is supposed to work .

Wouldn't flight give us a selective advantage?

Yes, but again that is not exactly how evolution is supposed to work. We don't need flight all that much, we live in comfy homes away from nature, flight doesn't provide a significant advantage to us. Also flight would take a while for us to develop. We don't need to fly, those of us who can't fly aren't going to die from that very often. Also developing flight via evolution takes a REALLY long time, you have to basically develop another body part, that doesn't happen over night, maybe the rest of us isn't really made to compliment flight either. What advantages we develop we usually develop because we really needed them, you can ask the same thing about gills. Why haven't we developed gills? why haven't we developed tails (ours went away because we DIDN'T need them, that should tell you something, it was never a disadvantage though at least as far as I am aware), why haven't we developed eyes in the back of the head. With this logic we should have developed hundreds of different things, that would be a little ridiculous. When we become part of an environment where we need to fly for some reason to escape extinction and easier adaptations aren't possible (I suspect that is necessary to) and give us millions of years, well then you might see winged humans.

Perhaps a million years from now, man may evolve to fly. All things in evolution takes a long time.
