Evolutionists Admit Evolution is Impossible Part 5

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

The closing paragraph starts with: "One of the central mysteries of evolutionary biology has been the relationship between microevolution and macroevolution." Ain't that a gem?

Ready for a good hearty belly laugh? Keep in mind what I've noted above, then compare that to the conclusion here:

"Can an understanding of population-level processes explain major evolutionary events such as the Cambrian explosion -- the period around 550 million years ago when complex animal life took off? Perhaps so. Shapiro _et al._ might have discovered a smoking gun -- a real example of a type of macroevolutionary change that is produced by genetic differences between populations."

Okay, now that you've stopped rolling on the floor, there's actually a bit more I wish to share. The report itself, "Genetic and developmental basis of evolutionary pelvic reduction in threespine sticklebacks" (pp. 717-723) reveals that the primary hybridization -- were you thinking, as I was, that they probably came from neighboring lakes or something like that? -- was between "A wild-caught marine female stickleback from Onnechikappu stream (east coast of Hokiiado Island, Japan)" and "a wild-caught benthic male from Paxton Lake (British Columbia)."

Incredible! They've just proved that there's NO significant (evolutionary) difference between fish on opposite sides of the Pacific, even though one lives in the ocean and another in a lake, and they take this as evidence for evolution?!?!?

Oh, and in case anyone thinks it was some kind of fluke (uh, no pun intended), to check their results, they also crossed the Canadian lake fish with "Wild-caught Gjogur marine (Iceland)" fish and also obtained viable progeny for study. They also had success with fish from a lake in Iceland and also marine fish caught from a river in British Columbia (I take it marine sticklebacks spawn in fresh water as salmon do).

That these fish from different environments around the northern hemisphere can still be interfertile indicates that they have not been been evolving for over ten million years, but have suffered from a few mutations in under 10,000 years.
