Things often overlooked about evolution: Adaptation and natural selection are biological facts; amoeba-to-man evolution is not. Natural selection can only work on the genetic information present in a population of organisms—it cannot create new information. For example, since no known reptiles have genes for feathers, no amount of selection will produce a feathered reptile. Mutations in genes can only modify or eliminate existing structures, not create new ones. How then can people insist that creation came about by Darwinian evolutionary means? Even the acclaimed evolutionist Stephen J. Gould, professor of geology and paleontology at Harvard University, said: “This notion of species as ‘natural kinds’ fits splendidly with creationist tenets.. But how could a division (or addition) of the organic world into discrete entities be justified by an evolutionary theory that proclaimed ceaseless change as the fundamental fact of nature?”
