tant. Observations carried out 20 years later in the 1980s

showed that the birds' beak structures were different from
how they'd been initially. 249 This study is just one example
showing broad diversity in finches as a whole. Dr. Lee
Spetner, the Israeli physicist and author of the book Not by
Chance!, states that what can be observed here is not evo-
lution, but the potential for variation that already existed in
those first 100 birds transported to the island. 250

As described earlier, variation is no evidence of evolu-
tion, because it consists only of the emergence of various
different combinations of existing genetic information and
adds no new characteristics. The natural selection of varia-
tions belonging to a species is the phenomenon that evolu-
tionist biologists refer to as micro-evolution. Since this can-
not bring about a species change or produce new genetic
information, it provides no evidence for the theory of evo-
lution.

New variations might appear if different combinations of
Galapagos finches mated for millions of years or were sub-
jected to different climatic environments. But no matter
what happened, they would still remain finches.
In short, absolutely nothing about the variations in the
Galapagos finches, regarded as "proof of evolution" by
Darwin and his followers, constitutes evidence for the the-

ory of evolution. There are insuperable genetic barriers be-
