EVOLUTIONISTS' CONFESSIONS
REGARDING VARIATIONS

V ar i a tion is a term employed in genetics for a phenomenon
V

that causes individuals or groups within a living species to
display different characteristics from one another. For exam-
ple, all humans on Earth possess essentially the same genetic information,

but the potential for variation allowed by that information means that
some of us have almond-shaped eyes, some have red hair, others have
long noses and still others are short in stature. This is not evolution.
Living things change within the genetic information they possess. No
new information can be added to a living thing’s genome, nor can there
be any change in that information.
Evolutionists, however, constantly attempt to present the diversity

within species as evidence for their theory. Yet diversity constitutes no
proof of evolution at all, because variation consists of different combina-
tions of already existing genetic information, but can add no new charac-
teristics to that information.
The confessions of evolutionists regarding this point are as follows.
Charles Darwin:
With respect to my far-distant work on species, I must have expressed
myself with singular inaccuracy, if I led you to suppose that I meant to say
that my conclusions were inevitable. They have become so, after years of
weighing puzzles, to myself alone; but in my wildest day-dream, I never
expect more than to be able to show that there are two sides to the ques-
tion of the immutability of species, i.e. whether species are directly creat-
ed, or by intermediate laws, (as with the life & death of individuals). I did
not approach the subject on the side of the difficulty... 391
