Could birds fly before evouloution feathered them?

Question

Any fossils or scientific data available?

Answer 1

I've looked and looked and have found very little evidence to support evolution. There are some fossils and creative drawings that show a creature that has arms that are both arms and wings  or something. Evolution has been taught as fact, but it's an un-proven theory.

Answer 2

At some point in evolution, it seems a lot of creatures (creations!) could fly: actually, many were un-feathered in course of time: birds remained feathered and so, aviaries! (can't cite 'source': it's imagination taking flight, flying higher than the birds!)

Answer 3

I would suspect that flying came first, with feathers being a helpful development later on. I don't have any evidence on me or anything, but it seems logical. Would this pre-bird organism gain feathers before it started to fly? No, I doubt that.

Feathers must have been a greatly helpful change for animals that were already flying. Lots of other animals fly without feathers.
