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.
