Evolutionists Admit Evolution is Impossible Part 2 :Limb Reduction Through Mutation

Comments in regards to article found in, NATURE, v. 428, 15 April '04, p. xi ,

In the article "Speciation: limb on an out." We find yet another great example of evolutionists reaching for straws revealed here, in the article on p. 717, and the News and Views comments on p. 703 they point out that they're still searching for the "mechanisms" for one species to evolve into another.

The study referenced here finally points to a mechanism of change...but it is a specific kind of change allowed for in creation science! As the title indicates, all the fuss is about discovering the path by which a limb might be lost.

You can't evolve all forms of life from a relatively simple common ancestor by getting rid of parts! This item points out that limb loss was supposedly involved in "snakes, whales, and fish," but fails to note that for snakes and whales to evolve from something else would have required major additions and/or alterations.

Even this limb reduction through mutation is not directly observed, but inferred from the results of cross-breeding stickleback fish. They found several genes that control the development of the pelvic skeleton and spines. It is noted here that mutants totally lacking the most important gene "die at birth." Actually, according to the later, larger articles, it's not the gene itself, but a regulatory effect (perhaps by what would have been considered "junk DNA"?), because the genes themselves aren't mutated in spineless fish. But wait, it gets better... for creationists, that is.

Look for part 3 tomorrow!

Until Next Time,
