The Error of the Evolution
                                                 of Species


                          the emergence of eukaryotic cells, and the origin of the hu-
                          man capacity for language, to name but a few—could not
                          be farther away from an equilibrium. Also, they cannot be
                          described satisfactorily by established models of microevo-
                          lution.  189

                          In short, micro-evolution is a biological phenomenon,
                       and macro-evolution is an unscientific dogma—two entirely

                       distinct concepts. Nonetheless, many evolutionists still be-
                       lieve that these two concepts are one and the same thing,
                       and that micro-evolutionary changes can turn into macro-
                       evolutionary ones over long periods of time. 190
                          Other scientists, however, are aware that such a claim
                       totally conflicts with the picture revealed by scientific find-
                       ings and the fossil record. Douglas Erwin, from the
                       American Museum of Natural History emphasized this in a
                       paper that appeared in the journal  Evolution and

                       Development in 2000. 191  According to the American biolo-
                       gists Douglas Erwin and James Valentine, to account for the
                       origin of new physical characteristics with micro-evolution-
                       ary changes that are in fact nothing more than variations
                       within species is incompatible with the available evidence. 192
                          The fact is, macro-evolution has never been observed.
                       There is no explanation compatible with reason, logic and

                       science as to how this might take place. Professor of
                       Microbiology Carl Woese expresses his view on the subject:
