How did living species first come into
being? How did the bacterial, protist, fun-
gus, plant, and animal worlds first emerge
on the Earth? How did phyla—the highest
taxonomic category (for example, chor-
dates and molluscs)—as well as classes
(mammals and birds), orders (primates and
carnivores), and families (cats and dogs)
first come about? These are the questions
which evolutionists really need to answer.

Evolutionists, how-
ever, make the following
unwarranted inference:
"There are some cases of
speciation in nature by natural means; there-
fore, all species emerged in this way." However,
there is a major deception concealed within this

argument.
Two important elements of this deception are:
1) Variants A and B, geographically isolated from
one another, may not be able to reproduce when
they come together. Yet this generally stems from
"mating behavior" differences. In other words, indi-
viduals belonging to variants A and B do not mate because they re-

gard the other variant as foreign to themselves. However, there is no
genetic impediment to their reproducing.
For that reason, they are still members
of the same species from the point of
view of genetic information. (In fact,
for this reason the concept of
"species" continues to be the sub-
ject of debate in biology.)
