son for their division is not that either one has acquired
any new genetic data. Neither variation has acquired
any proteins or new enzymes, much less a new organ.
There is no development here. On the contrary, instead
of a previous population that contains different, possibly
recessive, pieces of genetic information (using our ex-
ample, a population with both long and short fur, and
dark and light coloration), there are now two popula-
tions that is each relatively impoverished in terms of ge-
netic data.
Therefore, nothing about speciation provides any sup-
port for the theory of evolution. Because it claims that all
living species developed by chance, from the simple to the
more complex, therefore, in order for the theory of evolu-
tion to be taken seriously, it needs to demonstrate mecha-
nisms that can increase genetic information. The bifurca-
tion of an existing species because of a loss of genetic vari-
ation, obviously, a different phenomenon entirely.
Evolutionists actually admit this lack of relevance. For
that reason, evolutionists describe examples of variations
within a species, and speciation by division into two pop-
ulations (as you saw in the previous section) as micro-
evolution—in the sense of variation within a species that
already exists. However, the use of the word "evolution"
in the term is deliberately misleading, because no evolu-
tionary process is happening at all. The situation consists
