"Simply expressing different genetic traits already inherent in the organism in response to environmental stress is not sufficient evidence for speciation."

Evolutionists typically confuse cause and effect. They point to an effect and immediately fall into the logical fallacy of Affirming the Consequent for their naturalistic 'cause'.

The fallacy of Affirming the Consequent draws a conclusion by assuming that B uniquely implies A because A generally implies B. This generally expresses itself in this manner. 'Evolution' generally implies 'change', I observe 'change' therefore 'evolution' is uniquely supported.

Unfortunately, naturalists generally lack the critical-thinking skills to recognize the fallacy and actually believe it a logical argument.
