The Errors of the American National Academy of Sciences



              luminate. In his book The Origin of Species, Darwin offers no concrete
              evidence, only speculation. One letter in The Life and Letters of Charles
              Darwin, published by his son Francis Darwin, admits the truth of this:
                   When we descend to details, we can prove that no one species has
                   changed. 6

                   Darwin hoped that with the passage
              of time and advances in scientific research,
              an answer to the question would be found
              and speciation would be proved. On the
              contrary, however, scientific discoveries
              have disproved Darwin. Despite the best
              efforts of evolutionists, over the ensuing

              150 years or so the idea of speciation by
              evolutionary mechanisms has remained a
              claim devoid of any evidence or founda-
              tion.                                             Richard Harrison
                   Some space will now be devoted to con-
              fessions made by evolutionists on this subject.
                   In an article published in the journal Nature in 2001, Professor

              Richard Harrison of Cornell University summed up the evolutionist
              past on this subject:
                   …[N]atural communities harbour an enormous variety of species…
                   But what of the origin of diversity? Much less has been written
                   about how new species arise—although the process of speciation is
                   central to evolutionary biology. 7
                   It is actually no surprise that "very little" should have been writ-
              ten on this subject. Scientific discoveries have revealed that it is im-
              possible for one species to turn into another and that change happens

              only within a species and within specific bounds. There has not so far
              been one single observable instance of speciation by evolutionary
