ding to evolutionists, isolation that res-
tricts reproduction is essential for species
formation. 228 One evolutionist source
describes this essential requirement:
No species can separate from another in
the absence of this; and if ever it did, it
could never survive independently. What
if all animals mated freely with one anot-
her and were able to reproduce among
themselves? The result would be a con-
vergence leading to the disappearance of
all zoological units. In other words, no
dog, horse, cat or cow would have a se-
parate existence; they would be just com-
binations of all animals. Because the dis-
tinction between animals and human be-
ings would be lost, there would be many
human-like animals and animal-like hu-
mans. Eventually a most fascinating
mongrel would emerge from the combi-
nation of all these. Since reproduction is
