For hundreds of years, humanity has marveled at the power and ability of flight. We have looked to the heavens with wondrous eyes, only guessing what lies beyond the blue blanket of sky. We were finally made able to fly only with the help of machines. Tools, metal, engines, and other man-made things were the only things capable of making a man fly. Why can animals such as birds and insects fly so easily without any assistance whatever? Let’s take a look at the design of perhaps the most popular flyer: the bird. Birds are specifically designed by God for flight. Their bodies are perfectly built for such activity. And how is that? Flight Muscles The muscles in a birds’ body are very strong and can easily preform the necessary actions of flight. They are built perfectly for such a tiring activity. Bones A bird’s bones are not designed the same way as other animals’ such as mammals. A bird’s bones are hollow and light and are exactly what a creature would need to take to the air. Feathers Perhaps the most obvious assistant to a bird’s flight, the feathers are what give the bird thrust and the true power to do what they were made to do. Although feathers are greatly needed to achieve flight, every part of a bird is crucial to achieving it. God created birds just right in order for them to take to the sky and do what humans were just not meant to do: fly freely in the sky. And God said, "...let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens."
