or seek to make use of it to convince others of the truth
of their theory. All the so-called proofs of evolution pro-
posed by Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species are of
that kind, as are the examples put forward by later evo-
lutionists. In their examples, they seek to use as evidence
for their theory the genetic variety that they describe as
micro-evolution but which actually has nothing at all to
do with what they describe as macro-evolution.
Despite all this discussion of micro- and macro-evo-
lution and speciation, living things appeared on Earth as
types with their own different structures (as is confirmed
by the fossil record). Different variations and subspecies
may appear within them, thanks to the richness of their
gene pools. For example, there are rabbits that exhibit
variations such as white fur, grey fur, longer or shorter
ears, and these variations become more pronounced in a
given environment, depending on which natural condi-
tions support them most appropriately. But species nev-
er turn into other species. There is no natural mechanism
that can effect this, that can design new types and devel-
op the new organs, systems and body plans they require.
Every species has been created with its own unique
structures. And since God has created every one of them
with a potential for variety, a wide but finite variation of-
ten emerges within each type.
