Butterfly flight is an intricate process. It entails very quick, precise motion with minute muscular control. Everything for the complex and precise process of flight must be in place at the same time, or else nothing works, nothing makes sense. Yet, Darwin's Cheerleaders want us to believe that it was through time, chance, natural selection and so forth.

It looks like they simply flap their wings. In fact, the rapid process is simply too fast for us to see; there is really quite a bit going on.

But his tomb at least suggests he was captivated by butterflies, as I certainly am.
