The Errors of the American National Academy of Sciences



                   The upshot of this micro/macro evolution debate and evolution-
              ists' "speciation" fairytales is this: Living things emerged on the Earth
              as "kinds" possessing structures that differed from one another. (The
              fossil record demonstrates this.) Within these kinds, variants and sub-
              species may appear thanks to the richness of their genetic pools. For in-

              stance, the "rabbit" type contains white-haired and grey-haired, and
              long-eared and short-eared, variants within itself, and these have
              spread according to the prevailing natural conditions. However, kinds
              can never turn into each other. There is no natural mechanism that can
              design new kinds, or that can form new organs, systems, or body plans
              within a type. Each kind was created with its own peculiar structure,
              and since God has created them all with a rich variation potential,
              every kind produces a rich, but restricted, range of variation.

                   E Evolutionists' Confessions About Speciation

                                                                            n
                   Apart from "amateur" evolutionists who have only a superficial
              knowledge of the subject and such dogmatic evolutionists as the mem-
              bers of the National  Academy of
              Sciences, almost all Darwinists are
              very well aware of the fundamental
              problem: to account for the origin of
              living kinds and the diversity of life.
              As Theodosius Dobzhansky, one of
              the architects of neo-Darwinism,
              wrote in the introduction to his
              Genetics and the Origin of Species, the
              main problem facing evolution is the
              variety of life. 5
                   This is the subject that Charles
              Darwin and his followers need to il-
