Um, because they wouldn't be bats, by definition.

Really. who named them? And why wouldn't they be bats if they didn't have wings just based on the wings alone. A bat that evolves wings or loses them is still a bat. Your logic doesn't follow. If I knock the doors off a car, it's still a car. For that matter, if I knock them off a trans am, it's still a car and a transam. It just doesn't have doors. So are you saying that a Human being that has no limbs is not a human being... Sorry, but you stepped into that trap yourself and went laughingly in as though you thought you were catching me. Would you like the dunce cap now or later?

Of course, bats are a creationist favorite

I don't particularly find it a favorite anything. And I'm not quite sure what it matters to the argument whether creationists like bats or not. My name here is havoc. Deal with me.

Well, I think I know why you wouldn't care. Because you have no thirst for knowledge about the natural world around you.

Take a hint. Don't give up your day job. Gliding would be an advantage for humans, being able to breathe under water would be as well. Being able to withstand pressure without concern for the benze would also be a plus. Humans have not developed such capacities. So advantage would seem to have little to do with evelution if the theory had any factual basis at all - and it doesn't. However, an animal designed a specific way will always appear that way in nature - even fossilized (which, btw, doesn't happen in nature other than in wet places and even then only where something can be quickly buried. Another tick on the board for the good old flood fact.

May I be so bold as to ask you where you received your "science education" as you mentioned early on in this thread? May I also ask you why you think gliding would be selected for in humans? (um, that is, why would gliding be an advantage for humans? Why would breathing under water?")

And while Mercedes Benz's are perhaps sexually selected for by a subset of women, I'm curious as to how in the world you pretend to be intelligent and yet you don't know how to spell "Bends." And that ain't no typo on your part, buddy.
