                  I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered,
                  by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their
                  structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a
                  creature was produced as monstrous as a whale. 178

                  The reason why Darwin was so confident in his exam-
               ples lay in the primitive level of scientific understanding in

               his day. As the result of similar experiments on living things,
               however, 20 century science revealed the principle known
                          th
               as genetic homeostasis . This principle revealed that all at-
                                    179
               tempts at crossbreeding were insufficient to change a living
               species and that between species, there were insuperable
               genetic barriers. In other words, the livestock breeders who
               mated different variations of cattle could not have produced
               another new species, as Darwin claimed. This was ab-
               solutely impossible.

                  Norman Macbeth, author of the book Darwin Retried,
               has this to say:

                  The heart of the problem is whether living things do indeed
                  vary to an unlimited extent... The species look stable. We
                  have all heard of disappointed breeders who carried their
                  work to a certain point only to see the animals or plants re-


                 Variations can never give species totally new characteristics. For
                 that reason, no variation is an example of evolution. No matter
                 how often you cross-breed different breeds of horse, the results
                      will still be horses, and no new species will emerge.
