Does Speciation Cause Adaptation?
Most
creation scientists believe in micro evolution, also called adaptation or speciation.
I used to believe this too, but as a result of my research for my book
Mysteries of History Revealed with observations of fossils I discovered, I have
been convinced that the idea of adaptation or micro evolution has no more
evidence for it than macro Darwinian evolution. And in fact is part of
Darwinian evolution. There are no common ancestors for any two kinds of Finch,
Iguana, or any other organism. You imply that both the marine iguana and the
terrestrial iguana came from a common ancestor. Where is the proof for this?
Marine
iguanas are medium-sized lizards and are unique as they are marine reptiles due
to their foraging on inter- and subtidal algae only. These iguanas forage
exclusively in the cold sea, which leads them to behavioral adaptations for
thermoregulation.
Land iguanas
are primarily herbivorous; however, some individuals have shown that they are
opportunistic carnivores supplementing their diet with insects, centipedes and
carrion. Because fresh water is scarce on the islands it inhabits, the
Galapagos land iguana obtains the majority of its moisture from the
prickly-pear cactus that makes up 80% of its diet: fruit, flowers, pads, and
even spines. During the rainy season it will drink from available standing
pools of water and feast on yellow flowers of the genus Portulaca.
Creation
scientists and evolutionists agree that these two kinds of iguanas came from a
common ancestor.
Did they,
where did this idea come from? Secular researchers theorize that land iguanas
and marine iguanas evolved from a common ancestor since arriving on the islands
from South America, presumably by rafting. The marine iguana diverged from the
land iguana some (evolution age) 8 million years ago, which is older than any of the extant
Galapagos islands.
This all comes
from naturalistic speculation.
Creationists
claim that there is no way for one kind to evolve into another going through
stages where it could not survive. How could a dinosaur turn into a bird while it flopped around with useless arms gradually growing useless feathers as its arms moved to the back of its body for millions of years? Irreducible complexity proves this is false. Changing
into something else would leave it vulnerable to natural selection, it would
not survive half way.
How could
some terrestrial iguanas decide to become marine iguanas and others didn't. Why
didn't they become marine while floating from one island to another?
How could
they suddenly be able to eat other foods and have the ability to deal with the
salt before it killed them?
This idea is
a remnant of materialistic thinking. There is no evidence anything speciated.
Darwin was WRONG. The only speciation we see are domestic organisms produced by
man in breeding producing different varieties of dogs, cats, horse, corn, etc.
All domestic hybrids which never could happen under natural circumstances.
Adaptation?
There is no evidence for this. All the Finch varieties are the same species.
Creationists tend to be lumpers, evolutionists tend to be splitters. The more
fake species names supports evolution. Yes there are cyclic changes to the size
of the beaks, and coloring like among different individuals of the same family.
Some survive better than others during changes in weather. But no new species.
If iguanas
are produced by speciation, then how about all the other kinds of lizards? Did
they all come from a common ancestor? The fossil record does not support this,
there are many fossil lizard kinds. Look at birds, and ants, etc. Each kind
stays with its own kind. Fire ants do not mate with small black ants. The
black ants attack and kill the red ants. Each kind of bird, ant, etc. eats
different food, builds different nests, makes different calls and songs.
Now you say
but what about adaptation where one kind survives better in a certain kind of
environment?
This was
produced by design. A dog that has a thick coat and is predominately white
would survive better in the arctic and the others would become extinct. But the
darken colored dog with thin fur would survive in more warmer temperatures.
This is not adaptation, this is design showing God created great variety so
everything would survive in their environment. Even similar but different
organisms. Take the mammals and marsupials. They are almost identical, but they
are very different from each other. Certain verities of particular organisms
have characteristics to survive the others go elsewhere or die.
And now you say how can you claim different kinds can poroduce offspring in domestic breeding if they arn't the same kind? different kinds like mating a donkey with a horse produce a mule. But the mule cannot have offspring because they are similar but not the same kind. I have come to realize that they were created seperately but with similar genes making mating possible but not natural. It never happens in nature.
Creationists
should wake up and analyze the facts. That makes us as bad as the evolutionists
we are criticizing. Don't accept something just because everyone thinks it is a
fact!
