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:
