Perspective

The primary function of a creation scientist is to investigate the nature of our world from theintelligent design perspective. We must theorize from our unique point of view if the truth isto be understood. Given the effect of the theory of evolution on people's ability to believe inGod, evolutionary biology is probably the most important topic for a creationist to study. It isonly with the absolute truth that we can effectively counter secular mis-information, and thefacts will only be determined following adequate development of ID evolutionary biologytheory. Creationary evolution may indeed be the field of science requiring the greatest

amount of attention today.

Introduction to Creationary Evolution

Evolution is an atheistic theory that attempts toexplain the presence of life on earth withoutGod. Scientists assert that the earth developedthrough purely natural processes following agreat cosmic explosion called the big-bang.

They believe that living microbes simplydeveloped following a series of randomreactions within a spontaneous aggregate of molecules. Furthermore, the theory of evolutionteaches that all organisms on earth are relatedto the same common ancestor. This perspectiveis a striking contrast to the Biblical version of creation, which teaches that God created theuniverse and many kinds of plants and animalson earth during a period of time equivalent to 6 of our days. In addition, theBible clearly states that God created humans distinct from the animals duringthat same period of time.

1 Corinthians 15:39 - F or not all flesh is alike, but there is one kind for men,another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

It is certain that life on earth evolves. However, according to the Bible lifebegan evolving after the creation of the many kinds necessary to support lifeon earth. God apparently created all organisms on earth with the ability toevolve through systematic self genetic engineering . It is true that plants and

animals are constantly changing, and new species are developing all thetime, but there are distinct animal types alive today and in the fossil record,and few transitional forms exist to support the claims that all creatures haveevolved from a common ancestor as the evolutionists propose. In addition,the animals found in the fossil record are typically identical to those foundalive today.

The Bible refers to many kinds of animals. These Biblical "kinds" areprobably most synonymous with the F amily level of scientific classification;such as canine, feline and bovine. Following their release from the ark, thesevarious kinds of animals evolved into all the various species we see alivetoday. Although organisms are classified based on similarities anddifferences of characteristics, evolutionary perspectives have influenced thegroupings of organisms due to presupposed relationships. Therefore, theF amily level can not be held as an absolute definition of the "kinds" of animals God created. It would appear certain that in some instances other groups such as the Genus or Order may represent the Biblical kinds.Generally speaking however, all the species within each mammalian F amilies

could have evolved from only a reintroduced pair following the flood.

What's Driving Evolution?

All organisms were created with the ability to adapt to a wide variety of ecological conditions. However, we are being taught that random mutations,(such as copying errors and genomic changes induced by externalmutagens), are responsible for evolution of species on earth today, and thisis simply untrue. Evolution occurs by design through internally performedcellular reactions. Geneticists have known for decades that offspringvariability was the result of homologous crossing -over reactions that occur

during the division of cells used for sexual reproduction (meiosis).P

rior todividing, the DN A within the cell condenses and rearranges itself. Theserecombination reactions are still almost completely uncharacterized, nor arewe yet able to subsequently determine what specific changes were made.



The differences among children from the same parents, or between variousbreeds of animals are not due to mutations. It is a matter of historic fact thatthe domestic breeds were created through a succession of geneticrecombination and artificial selection. All the dog breeds were bred from thewolf and progeny by humans. Physically unique populations in nature arecreated in the same way. Evolution likewise occurs through a history of recombination and natural selection. Externally induced mutations or copyingerrors may induce some genomic change, but they are simply insignificant incomparison to the rearrangements being performed by the cell during

meiosis. These reactions are specifically produced to introduce offspringvariability and thereby drive evolution. Meiotic recombination is the principalsource of genetic alterations that creates offspring variability, and yet we arebeing erroneously taught that evolution is the result of random mutation.

The Pure Breed or Genetic Homozygote

Recombination events (crossing over andindependent assortment of homologues) areresponsible for the variations of characteristicspossessed by offspring from the same parent.These differences can have advantages or disadvantages in various regions andtherefore provide differing chances of survival.For selection to be effective in transformingthe population into a more beneficial form, theselected characteristic must be passed tofuture offspring at a higher frequency. Thisoccurs because inbreeding any feature willtransform the species into a pure breed for the



selected trait.

Selection for a particular trait creates a genetically homozygote population or pure breed. A pure breed can be easily generated by inbreeding a desiredfeature and testing the offspring for their ability sire progeny with variability.When a trait is selected or inbred, alternative genes are eliminated, and the

result is a genetically limited organism. The establishment of pure breeds hasbeen well documented by breeders of all kinds. It is clear that all sexuallyreproducing organisms possess the ability to produce offspring possessingvariable forms, and selection removes genes from the population.

Speciation

The success of any kind is greatly enhanced by speciation, or the formationof an isolated subpopulation. The physical separation enables the new groupto become unique during the adaptation to a different niche or habitat.Evolution is the process of specializing to specific conditions. Adaptivespecialization greatly improves the immediate survival potential of thespecies, but it also makes them more prone to complete extinction if conditions change. Therefore, speciation allows subgroups each to specialize

independently giving the kind greater survivabilityas well.

A species is a of naturally occurring breedinggroup which are reproductively isolated from other such groups. Many separate "species" caninterbreed in captive situations, but in nature havedeveloped color distinctions, mating calls or

gestures which allows them to distinguish their group from another and they

remain reproductively isolated. When a group of animals remains isolated;natural selection and genetic recombination events alter the genome of thepopulation independent of other species. If the genomic changes aresignificant, the homologues possessed by two related can become unable topair and crossover during the first mitotic division following fertilization, andthe groups are thereby reproductively incompatible. If any two groups areisolated and kept from interbreeding for 40 generations, they will becomesecond generation sterile. For instance, the donkey and the horse caninterbreed and their offspring, the mule is sterile. If the two groups areisolated for 100 generations, they will become first generation sterile and willnot be able to interbreed with each other. Therefore, two animals could beprogeny from the same Biblical "kind" even if they cannot currently

interbreed.



Conclusion

The variations of characteristics isolated from domesticated animals byprofessional breeders provides us with the minimum quantity of evolutionarypotential these organisms possess. These various breeds of animals are notmutants, nor are the variation of species found in nature such as the finch es.

The scientific community is now almost totally atheistic, and is refusing toaccept the intentional production of genetic variability which is beingproduced by the cell through homologous recombination. They believe thatlife has originated and is evolving through random mechanisms, which arenot reliant upon living systems, and mutations are therefore a theoreticnecessity. Geneticists have conclusively proven that the changes selectedduring classic breeding are the result of cellular reactions, but evolutionistsare teaching that any variation in nature is the result of ran dom mutations.

Do not be misled. Evolution occurs by design, and began following thecreation of the many kinds of organisms required to sustain life on earth.
