Even Ernst Mayr, the dean of living evolutionists, longtime professor of biology at Harvard, who has alleged that evolution is a "simple fact," nevertheless agrees that it is an "historical science" for which "laws and experiments are inappropriate techniques" 2 by which to explain it. The fact that macroevolution (as distinct from microevolution) has never been observed would seem to exclude it from the domain of true science. The scientific method traditionally has required experimental observation and replication. it was and still is the case that, with the exception of Dobzhansky's claim about a new species of fruit fly, the formation of a new species, by any mechanism, has never been observed. No truly new species has ever been produced, let alone a new "basic kind."Ī current leading evolutionist, Jeffrey Schwartz, professor of anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh, has recently acknowledged that: That is, for example, there are many varieties of dogs and many varieties of cats, but no "dats" or "cogs." Such variation is often called microevolution, and these minor horizontal (or downward) changes occur fairly often, but such changes are not true "vertical" evolution.Įvolutionary geneticists have often experimented on fruit flies and other rapidly reproducing species to induce mutational changes hoping they would lead to new and better species, but these have all failed to accomplish their goal. What we see instead, of course, is an array of distinct "kinds" of plants and animals with many varieties within each kind, but with very clear and - apparently - unbridgeable gaps between the kinds. If it were a real process, evolution should still be occurring, and there should be many "transitional" forms that we could observe. These statements inadvertently show that evolution on any significant scale does not occur at present, and never happened in the past, and could never happen at all.įirst of all, the lack of a case for evolution is clear from the fact that no one has ever seen it happen. This odd situation is briefly documented here by citing recent statements from leading evolutionists admitting their lack of proof. It is a belief passionately defended by the scientific establishment, despite the lack of any observable scientific evidence for macroevolution (that is, evolution from one distinct kind of organism into another). Belief in evolution is a remarkable phenomenon.
