The Error of the Evolution
of Species

back together again, their members are unable to inter-

breed with one another. Since they cannot mate, they
cease being subspecies, according to the biological defi-
nition, and become separate species. This is known as spe-
ciation.
Evolutionists take this concept and extrapolate it
"Look! There is speciation in nature. In other words, new
species emerge through natural mechanisms. So all

species must have come into being in this same way." In
fact, however, a serious deception is being perpetrated
here, because important points are being overlooked or
ignored:

1) Variations A and B, after being isolated from one
another, may be unable to mate when reunited again.
Yet this phenomenon generally stems from mating be-
havior. In other words, individuals belonging to varia-
tions A and B regard each other as foreigners by the oth-
er, and thus feel no inclination to mate with others that
they perceive as different—even thouigh there is no ge-
netic incompatibility to prevent it. In terms of genetic in-
formation, they all remain members of the same species.
(For this very reason, the concept of species remains a
subject of debate in biology.)
2) The really important factor is that this speciation
means a loss of genetic information, rather than an in-
crease. The two variations have separated, but the rea-
