Humas were evolved from ape-like creatures who were arboreal lives. Subsequent generations refined and further refined the capacities of these ancestors till they reached the present stage. As the ancestors did not have wings or even the potential capacities of flying Man did not inherit them.As against this even if the dynasaurs were way out buldy than the puny ayrbreals they had the inherent rudimentary wings. Some of them developed into peterdoctyales who were flying creatures.
However, wings or no wings man can fly with much more strength than the strongest of birds and higher also.Man does not have fins like the fish and yee he can delve deeper than any of them and go across waters longer distances.He has improved his lot by dint of his own efforts.

Leonardo da VInci was trying to use 500 year old technology. In 1979 a human-powered machine flew more than 22 miles (mostly over the sea) from England to France, and a solar-powered human-carrying aircraft has flown more than 160 miles non-stop.

We can fly, but we can not fly like birds, because we have no wings. We can fly in our dreams and we can fly as we are awake from within our stomach. This requires practice, patient and knowledge.

Birds have evolved organic wings, similar to planes. The feather structure, is light and sheds water (good for storms, etc) very easily while being shaped
Our arms are just bulky and mishappen.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ................. good question ! Evolutionists tell us life "evolved" in different ways because of necessity .
For example , fish evolved lungs , noses and little feet because they wanted to walk on land . Lions , tigers etc evolved claws so they could scratch each others` backs, and long fangs because they were sick of grazing on grass and wanted to eat meat .
Not to forget Pterodactyls , who evolved wings so they could bomb their predators with giant turds .
I see only one way for humans to be able to soar the skies . We would have to begin flapping our arms all day long ........... wherever we go , whatever we`re doing ................ day in and day out ............ flap ........ flap ......... flap ........
Eventually , "evolution" would "kick in" and we`d notice little feathers appearing on our arms . In centuries and millenia to come these little feathers would evolve into wings .
We`d be masters of the skies !
