The Error of the Evolution
                                                 of Species


                       refers to major changes such as that of a dinosaur into a

                       bird, or a bear into a whale. In other words, there is no dif-
                       ference between the claims of macro-evolution and fairy
                       tales in which a frog transforms into a prince.
                          By using the concept of macro-evolution, evolutionist
                       biologists seek to give the impression that is variations can
                       give rise to brand new living species—and even genera—
                       over the course of time. Indeed, many people who lack a

                       sound knowledge of the subject are taken in by the super-
                       ficial idea that micro-evolution can become macro-evolution
                       in the long term. One can see many examples of this think-
                       ing. Some amateur evolutionists suggest that since the aver-
                       age height of human beings has increased by 2 centimeters
                       (0.78 of an inch) over just the last century, that means that
                       all kinds of evolution can occur over millions of years. But
                       the fact is, as we have already seen, all variations such as
                       increases in stature take place within specific genetic

                       bounds and have nothing to do with evolution.
                          In fact, even contemporary evolutionist authorities ac-
                       cept that the variations described as micro-evolution cannot
                       give rise to new living classes, or lead to macro-evolution.
                       In a 1996 paper published in the journal  Developmental
                       Biology, the evolutionist biologists Scott Gilbert, John Opitz
                       and Rudolf Raff stated that:
