Evolution ultimately hinges upon the concept of gross change--macroevolution, megaevolution -- not microchanges and simple genetic variations. Even though most evolutionists contend that macrochanges occurred by slow variations, not by leaps (fish into frog), the sum total of microchanges, these small variations, are believed to have resulted in the change of one kind of organism into another i.e. gross changes | Variation is there but it does not accumulate, although they assert always that it does accumulate. Then you extrapolate it for another couple of hundred percent of the problem and you're in. Extrapolation is a terrible sin, so they've little foundation. The variation is there. You can see it, of course, in all the forms of dog we've bred, but accumulation and extrapolation are certainly used in a big way by evolutionists. |
The central question of the Chicago conference was whether the mechanisms underlying microevolution can be extrapolated to explain the phenomena of macroevolution. At the risk of doing violence to the positions of some of the people at the meeting, the answer can given as a clear "No". | The outstanding evolutionary mystery now is how matter has originated and evolved, why it has taken its present form in the universe and on the earth and why it is capable of forming itself into complex living sets of molecules. This capability is inherent in matter as we know it. (Wiley, 1980, p 15)
