Natural communities harbor an enormous variety of
species ... But what of the origin of diversity? Much less has
been written about how new species arise—although the
process of speciation is central to evolutionary biology. 204

It is not at all surprising, actually, that so very little has
been written, because scientific discoveries have revealed

that one species cannot turn into another and that change
takes place only within species, and within specific bounds.
Not a single example of speciation through evolutionary
mechanisms has been observed. In an article published in
the 18 January, 2001, edition of Nature, the evolutionist bi-
ologists Darren Irwin, Staffan Bensch and Trevor Price ad-
mit as much: "The evolutionary divergence of a single
species into two has never been directly observed in na-
ture." 205

Professor of Anthropology Jeffrey Schwartz, from
Pittsburgh University, emphasizes the same fact in his book,
Sudden Origins: Fossils, Genes, and the Emergence of
Species:

... Nevertheless, it was and still is the case that, with the ex-
ception of Dobzhansky's claim about a new species of fruit
fly, the formation of a new species, by any mechanism, has
never been observed. 206
Faced with these facts, some evolutionists propose an al-
