Question: Why are bats living in my attic?
Answer: As our civilization grows new construction is surely to follow. The building of new homes and neighborhoods slowly diminish the natural habitat of bats and eventually the bat colony will adapt or evolve.

Question: Where did these bats come from?
Answer: Since most bats eat insects, evolutionists have traditionally taught that bats evolved from primitive insectivores, as did shrews, moles, etc. Fruit-eaters merely modified their diet due to ecological pressures.
Then in the early ’80s J. D. Smith (Smith pp. 347-365) suggested that mega bats and micro bats evolved separately, because there are many physiological differences between the two other than just size. Micro bats have a complicated shoulder joint and a claw only on the thumb, for example, while mega bats have a simple shoulder joint but a claw on both the thumb and first finger. Micro bat use echo-location, while macros mainly rely on their keen eyesight. Micro bat teeth are designed for prey, while mega teeth grind plant parts. Mega bats can live only in the tropics, needing a year-round food supply; many micro bats have the ability to hibernate through cold winters.
