The NAS's Errors Regarding Speciation

mechanisms.
In his book Sudden Origins: Fossils, Genes and the Emergence of
Species, published in 2000, Jeffrey Schwartz, Professor of Anthropology
at the University of Pittsburgh, stresses this fact:

... It was and still is the case that, with the exception of Dobzhansky's
claim about a new species of fruit fly, the formation of a new species,
by any mechanism, has never been observed. 8
In the face of these facts, some evolutionists offer an explanation
along the lines of "We cannot observe speciation by means of evolution
because evolutionary mechanisms only act over very long periods of
time. For that reason speciation cannot be observed in nature or in the
laboratory." However, this, too, is nothing but a rationalization with no
scientific basis. That is because no sign of speciation has been seen in

fruit flies or bacteria, which have very short life spans, thus making it
possible for a single scientist to observe thousands of generations. To
date, countless experiments and studies on various microorganisms
and animal species have destroyed evolutionists' dreams.
One evolutionist, Kevin Kelly, the editor of Wired mag-
azine and chairman of the All Species Foundation, de-
scribes this:

No case of speciation has ever been seen in crea-
tures such as fruit flies or bacteria, of which thou-
sands of generations can be observed by
scientists due to their short life spans.
