In short, facts clearly reveal no such thing as evolution-

ary change. Average beak size may fluctuate according to
the rainfall, sometimes increasing or decreasing around a
fixed level, but there is no question of a net change.
Aware of this, Peter Grant said that, "the population,
subjected to natural selection, is oscillating back and
forth." 237 Some evolutionist researchers say that natural se-
lection works in two mutually opposed directions. 238

No matter how much a clock pendulum may swing back
and forth, it never records any net progress. That will still
apply if you operate a pendulum perfectly for millions of
years.
Danny Faulkner, a professor of Astronomy and Physics
at South Carolina University, states that the finch beaks' fluc-
tuations cannot represent evidence of evolution: "And so if
you have supposed microevolution one direction and then
later it reverts right back to where it started from, that's not

evolution, it can't be." 239
The average size of the Galapagos finches' beaks in-
creases or decreases according to food resources, but the
way that evolutionist researchers imagine they have found
evidence for evolution in fluctuations in the finches' beak is
completely ideologically based.
