Darwin’s Finches Microevolution or Adaptation 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. Steven Stanley in Macroevolution

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."

" 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." Darwin skeptics: contains over 2000 names of trained scientists who are “skeptical.” And another 1000 who are not willing to sign it for fear of reprisal.

Hebrews 13:13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.

14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

Hebrews 13:13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that confess his name.

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

Nature Genetics volume Thomas J. Parsons, et. al. Mitchell M. Holland lab “The observed (mutation) rate reported here is very high compared to rates inferred from evolutionary studies.” Emphasis added “(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.”

(evolutionary) (empirical)

“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 (evolutionary) (empirical)

Thus, empirically speaking... best estimates are ~ 6,500 years to modern Man’s last common ancestor (Eve!) last common ancestor (Eve!)

What does the Platypus

and the Coelacanth have in common?

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.
