Microevolution

of the kinds
The known fossil record fails to
document a single example of phyletic
evolution accomplishing a major
morphologic transition (structural
change), and hence offers no evidence
that the gradulalistic model (of
evolution by natural selection) can be
valid.

Is this just a mouse with really
long forelimbs and fingers?

• " We are skeptical of claims for the ability
of random mutation and natural selection
to account for the complexity of life.
Careful examination of the evidence for
Darwinian theory should be encouraged."

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us
continually offer to God a sacrifice of
praise--the fruit of lips that confess his

Some of the DNA controls gene
expression, but still there are
huge amounts that appear to be
nothing more than “junk.”

there is a kind of biological brotherhood
that’s much more profound than we ever
realized.”

“The observed (mutation) rate reported here
is very high compared to rates inferred from
evolutionary studies.”
“(An evolutionary study) yielding one of the
faster estimates gave the (mutation) rate of . . .
~1/600 generations. . . . Thus, our observation
is roughly 20-fold higher than would be
predicted from (evolutionary) analyses.”

“There is no evidence that any one factor
explains this discrepancy, (possibilities are)
mutational hot spots, selection, and random
genetic drift and the limitations of
phylogenetic (evolutionary) approaches . . .”
Neil Howell, et.al., Am.J.Hum.Genet. 72:659-70, 2003
Thus, empirically speaking . . .
best estimates are ~ 6,500 years
to modern Man’s
last common ancestor (Eve!)

The Coelacanth
According to the fossil record this type of fish was
thought to have been extinct for nearly 100 million
years . . . until one was caught in the mid-1900s.
