In the 1800'sthe botanist Gregor Mendel demonstrated scientifically
that evolution was blocked by the limited number of genes.
In other words, living things have the capacity for variation, but that
is all living things can do.
Many experiments since his time have confirmed his work and never
contradicted it. variation of course, is NOT the same as evolution.

For example, suppose we had a red flower and a white flower, of
the same species.
If we cross them, we may get two pink offspring.
Then, if we cross the pink flowers, we get some red, some pink,
and some white - but never anything else.

The Bible says God
commanded every
living thing He made
to reproduce "after its
kind".

The genes for red, white and pink This means each distinct
are in the red and in the white. family of creatures can
Offspring is pink. reproduce with variety,

but never evolve into
any other distinct kind
of plant or animal.

Selection is simply that:
selection.

The genes for red, white and pink
are in the pink.
Offspring is pink, white and red. For evolution to

work, NEW
genes have to
appear, but they
never do.
