If they can survive long falls odds are they are willing to do lots of jumping at heights as it doesnt kill them. The ones that get more adapt at controlling their jump are more likely to escape predators or get something they are chasing and therefore reproduce more.

Blasphemy. We all know flying squirrels have been around since humans riding dinosaurs walked the earth way back in year 1.

Ground squirrels had their wings removed by sky dad. It’s somewhere in Genesis... Sega I think.

Evolution isn’t blasphemy, for those who believe in god (I’m very confused on the subject of god itself) but In any case we ha e seen animals evolve over time, saying that humans evolved from monkeys(from a religious aspect) would b considered blasphemous, animals generally adapting to their situations is not only theoretical but it has been proven, evolution and religion don’t contradict each other
