Our brains, ergo our heads, are too big for our puny little lungs/bodies and unflappable arms to hold up.
Now, speaking of bird brains, use your human brain to figure out exactly why humans flying around is NOT a good idea.

Based on that argument, shouldn't everything fly then? If evolution is not true, and God created us, why didn't HE make us fly? You're not making sense.
Evidence for evolution:
DNA sequencing,
Endogenous retroviruses,
similarities between all lineages of DNA, RNA, amino acids, and the lipid bilayer,

Evolution didn't God did. Our bodies were not designed for wings, so you can't fly without wings can you? Unless you are on a plane or some other type of flying machine.

Same answer as someone else got today: we didnt evolve from birds though people who ask questions like this somehow might, for birds are known to have pretty small brains

The necessary genetic mutation and recombination didn't occur in our line for wings to be selected. We got a big brain instead , which enabled us to fly anyway.

Because we are not birds.They would have to call us birds and not humans.We do not fly because there are no toilets up there.

We do fly. Our intellect allowed us to design and fabricate airplanes.

"Again Atheists avoid my question with airplanes."
Wow. Once again atheists confound you with logic and reason. Damn atheists.
