The Error of the Evolution
                                                 of Species


                       This view received wide acceptance from evolutionist cir-

                       cles and has survived down to the present day. Richard
                       Goldschmidt, a Berkeley University geneticist during those
                       years, expressed the erroneous nature of this view: "The
                       facts of microevolution do not suffice for an understanding
                       of macroevolution." 186  In fact, what Goldschmidt referred to
                       as micro-evolution was nothing more than variations within
                       species.

                          These two concepts have long appeared in biology text-
                       books, where a deceptive style is often used. The examples

                                               We frequently see examples of biologi-
                                               cal variations in our daily lives. All such
                                              instances of variations are simply fluctu-
                                               ations that occur within specific genet-
                                                  ic bounds and that have nothing at
                                                            all to do with evolution.
