The Intricacies of Flight

Description: Flight in Birds. We look at the aerodynamics of birds, and show the awe and wonder from the fascinating detail of flight in the natural world. The feathers of birds have to be positioned in exactly the right location on the wing from front to back and from close to the body to tip, but also edge on forming an aerofoil shape. The remarkable agility of both fast birds of prey and humming bird aerobatic marvels show the necessity for a number of parallel mechanisms all to be in place at the same time to enable flight to work in birds. giving the lie to the supposed evolution of such creatures from more primitive ancestors. This has technical parts but is understood by all ages because it is so visual. It lends itself to being a good platform for evangelism. Many have found this to be a powerful talk, because it brings a sense of awe and wonder from the fascinating detail in flight in the natural world. It naturally leads into the Gospel.

Speaker: Professor Andy McIntosh DSc, FIMA, CMath, FEI, CEng, FInstP, MIGEM, FRAeS is retired from full time work at the University of Leeds, and is now a visiting research professor in Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory. He has lectured and researched in these fields for over 30 years and has a DSc from the University of Wales and a PhD from Cranfield University. A Fellow of the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and the Royal Aeronautical Society, he now lectures in many countries on the subject of origins, showing that the science is entirely consistent with the Bible, and contrary to the dogmatic assertions of secular humanists,  that the science does does not fit well with evolutionary thinking. His lectures on design cover many areas including the marvels of the design of the human body, the bombardier beetle (which work was awarded the 2010 Times Higher Educational award for the Outstanding Contribution to Innovation and Technology), the exquisite design of birds, bats and the flying insects, and information and thermodynamics. Andy is also an associate speaker with Answers in Genesis.
