Eoalulavis

This is one of the fossils that demolishes evolutionist claims regardingArchaeopteryx, showing that no evolutionary link can be established between birds and dinosaurs. The wing structure in Eoalulavis, approximately 30 million years older than Archaeopteryx, is exactly the same as that in slow-flying birds alive today. This feature considerably increases the bird’s maneuvering ability and provides extra control during landing and take-off.

The point is that a bird 30 million years older than Archaeopteryx was able to fly in a very effective manner.140

This proves that neither Archaeopteryx nor any other birds like it were transitional forms.
