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:
