I have a question, if you don’t mind. Over the course of time, various species, genuses, and phyla become extinct, correct? So if new species aren’t also evolving into being at the same time, wouldn’t the number of species constantly be decreasing until we had only a few left? What is the creationist response to this dilemma?
Creationists accept the notion of genetic vatiation within the limits of the created kinds. For instance, a dog could mutate into another species of dog, but Creationists do not accept that fish can become lizards, or that lizards can become birds, etc. And as it happens, the evidence of the fossil record suggests that Creationists are correct, while at the same time destroying Darwinian expectations:
