There are mighty interesting characteristics found in the genetic code of the wonderful, wide variety of plant and animal cells here on planet Earth. Whether or not a flower will have blue, triangular petals or yellow, round petals is determined by this complex code. But the code doesn’t stop there. It also provides for a certain amount of adaptation to environmental conditions and circumstances. This is how a natural selection occurs.
Plant and animal cells don’t rely on chance and circumstance.
When you make your selections, in a restaurant, you don’t create any new foods. You just select from the food that’s already there. And “selection” in the natural world works pretty much the same way. When stressful environmental conditions occur, nature, by design, selects characteristics in the code (aka gene pool) that can survive. In this process the characteristics that can’t survive are eliminated.
But what in the world does that?
Well, as I first said, chance and circumstance don’t create any new species. They just choose from what’s already there. And variations are actually reduced. Not evolving ever upward.
So, I totally agree that microevolution occurs. It’s nothing more than survival of the fittest. But macroevolution does not occur. Because natural selection prevents it. Increased complexity isn’t found in nature. It’s the figment of imagination you find in so-called scientists who refuse to base their conclusions on reproducible observations.
Why do you suppose anyone would draw charts of animals showing a gradual increase in complexity when no intermediate fossils are found? Why would any scientist seeking truth ever have a problem with going where the evidence leads?
I daresay it ain’t a matter of science. I bet it’s a matter of a rebellious heart. Yeah, I’m judgmental. Go figure.
Here’s an example of supreme science:
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.
Did you catch that? In one day. The third day of God’s creation.
ZERO evolution required.
In awe of all creation and how it all could be
The fairy tale illusions increase with every year.
The wrinkled plans expand, exponentially,
Until one day, perhaps, a duck becomes a deer. (yeah, right) chorus
What does this all mean?
And why should we care
That we didn’t come from slime
And there’s a God out there? Fast forward! (from my song, Fast Forward © 2000

And every herb could make more herbs
And grass could make more grass.
The world became more beautiful
Each time God’s word would pass.
One fruit tree could make many more
Exactly like the first,
With fruit so big and juicy
You might think it all would burst.
