Primordial soup to aeronautical perfection in that amount of time is quite a leap. Bones had to "learn" to hollow themselfs out, become less dense, grow fibers that are strong, light and interconnecting. The point is it hasn't evolved. How did that happen?

When the stone monoliths on Easter Island were first discovered, people were unable to explain how exactly they got there using primitive means. So baffled were some people at the time that they drew sweeping conclusions to explain their origin, citing that clearly aliens from another planet came down to assist the natives of the island. Through applied logic man has since proved that ereceting stone monuments of this size can indeed be done with very primitive means. No need for spaceships. No need for mythological fantasy.

Though you may claim that the proposed evolution of the feather is outrageous, I see explaining it away with some all-seeing God who magically points his divine finger as something even more fantastical, more unrealistic. Even a flawed scientific approach, explaining how various lifeforms adapt over time, is more rational than Santa Claus theories.
