If dinosaurs evolved into birds, explain how the dinosaur's bellows type lung evolved step by tiny step into the flow-thru lung of birds without the creature becoming less fit throughout that journey. Alternatively, explain how a plane with piston engine and propeller can change bit by bit into a plane with a jet engine, without becoming less able to fly throughout that metamorphosis.
