40 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

Both pic tures show the dam age in liv ing bod ies caused by the neg a tive
im pact of mu ta tions.

Confessions by some other evolutionists stating that mutations con-
stitute a dilemma for evolution are as follows.
Prof. Richard Goldschmidt is a zoologist at the University of
California:
It is true that nobody thus far has produced a new species or genus, etc.,
by macro-mutation [a combination of many mutations]; it is equally true
that nobody has produced even a species by the selection of micro-muta-
tions [one or only a few mutations]. In the best-known organisms, like
Drosophila, innumerable mutants are known. If we were able to combine
a thousand or more of such mutants in a single individual, this still would
have no resemblance whatsoever to any type known as a [new] species in
nature. 75

Kevin Padian is professor in the Department of Integrative
Biology at University of California, Berkeley and curator of paleontol-
ogy at UC Museum of Paleontology:
How do major evolutionary changes get started? Does anyone still be-
lieve that populations sit around for tens of thousands of years, waiting
for favorable mutations to occur (and just how does that happen, by the
