METAMORPHOSIS
M
Frogs are born in water, live there for a
while, and finally emerge onto land in a
process known as "metamorphosis." Some
people think that metamorphosis is evidence
of evolution, whereas the two actually have
nothing to do with one another.

The sole innovative mechanism proposed by
evolution is mutation. However,
metamorphosis does not come about by
coincidental effects like mutation does. On
the contrary, this change is written in frogs'
genetic code. In other words, it is already
evident when a frog is first born that it will
have a type of body that allows it to live on
land. Research carried out in recent years has
shown that metamorphosis is a complex
process governed by different genes. For
instance, just the loss of the tail during this
process is governed, according to Science
News magazine, by more than a dozen genes
(Science News, July 17, 1999, page 43).
The evolutionists' claim of transition from
water to land says that fish, with a genetic
code completely created to allow them to
live in water, turned into land creatures as a
result of chance mutations. However, for this
reason metamorphosis actually tears
evolution down, rather than shoring it up,
because the slightest error in the process of
metamorphosis means the creature will die
or be deformed. It is essential that
metamorphosis should happen perfectly. It is
impossible for such a complex process, which
allows no room for error, to have come
about by chance mutations, as is claimed by
evolution.
