dence for evolution at all. It merely represents the
emergence of different combinations of already-exist-
ing genetic potential. It cannot endow future genera-
tions with new genetic information and brand-new
characteristics.
For example, no matter how much you try to improve
a line of cats by crossbreeding them, the resulting kit-
tens will always remain cats and will never develop in-
to dogs.

49 T The Origin of Behavior Does Not Lie in Evolution
Evolutionists regard all animal and human behavior as
having an evolutionary origin. But an evolutionary ex-
planation does not square with the facts, because ani-
mals have no reason, consciousness and capacity with
which to learn by trial and error. They cannot record in
their genes what they have learned and then pass
these learned skills along to their subsequent off-
spring. They possess forms of behavior such as their
life-saving defense techniques and nest-building capa-
bilities right from birth.
God creates all living things with their own unique
characteristics and forms of behavior. It is impossible,
for example, for a butterfly to realize that mimicking a
dry leaf will better camouflage it and thus enable it to
escape predators, and then to transform this thought
into radical changes in its own wings. Alternatively, a
beaver is able to construct a dam—which requires ad-
vanced engineering calculations in order to halt the
flow of water along the bed of a stream—and is able
