Actually, flight is one of the better proofs from evolution
since the steps towards development can be examined and even tested. There is a great article by SJ Gould where he discusses some of the recent developments and experiments in that area. The article is at Not Necessarily a Wing!
In it, he suggestions some of the prior uses that the structures that became wings might have had, and the steps that lead to full flight capabilities. It even includes references to some experiments done to test the hypothesis.
