The Error of the Evolution
of Species

ibi along the lines of "We cannot observe speciation through

evolution, because evolutionary mechanisms act over such
lengthy periods of time. Therefore, speciation cannot be ob-
served in nature or in the laboratory." This search for con-
solation has no scientific basis: No case of speciation has
ever been seen in creatures such as fruit flies or bacteria,
whose life spans are very brief. Thousands of generations of
these organisms can therefore be observed by a single sci-

entist in a few years' time. 207 Countless experiments and
studies have to date been conducted on various micro-or-
ganisms and animal species, and all have demolished evo-
lutionist dreams.
One evolutionist, Kevin Kelly, editor of Wired magazine
and director of the All Species Foundation, states that

Despite a close watch, we have witnessed no new species
emerge in the wild in recorded history. Also, most remark-
ably, we have seen no new animal species emerge in do-
mestic breeding. That includes no new species of fruit flies
in hundreds of millions of generations in fruit fly studies,
where both soft and harsh pressures have been deliberate-
ly applied to the fly populations to induce speciation... In
the wild, in breeding, and in artificial life, we see the emer-
gence of variation. But by the absence of greater change,
we also clearly see that the limits of variation appear to be
narrowly bounded, and often bounded within species. 208
