Although one of the many things that makes evolution theory implausible is as follows.
The change in gene frequency you referenced earlier is a continuous series of very small changes. If speciation is true, it must be a trajectory formed by these changes. The changes occur a single locus at a time. Along the path of this trajectory, there is no distinction between species.
But all available real world examples of species show drastic differences between each of them. These large differences correspond with huge numbers of genes.
So what we observe is consistent with creation, not with evolution.
“The change in gene frequency you referenced earlier is a continuous series of very small changes. If speciation is true, it must be a trajectory formed by these changes. The changes occur a single locus at a time.”
Your assumption that mutations occur at a single locus is incorrect. Each locus has probability of mutation accross the entire genome. Multiple changes occur at once. There are also multiple theories of how evolution operates including “punctuated evolution” that suggests fairly dramatic changes can occur rapidly.
“But all available real world examples of species show drastic differences between each of them. These large differences correspond with huge numbers of genes”.
One of the things that makes evolution plausible is that there is a rough continuum among species. There are multiple types of similar apes, birds, rodents, cats, etc. The closer they are and appear the closer their genomes tend to be. There is also a wide wariety of differences WITHIN species that have been proven to result from genetic differences. With enough changes and geographic isolation it is not difficult to imagine how speciation could occur. Speciation may also occur through behavioral differences. Differences in courtship rituals can prevent two genetically compatible groups of organisms from producing offspring further increasing the likelihood of genetic separation.
So here is where I think things stand. Biologists have some plausible theories on how species originate. All of them are FAR from perfect but it is a start. People who see the flaws are right in pointing them out. Some people who believe in creation work hard at disproving evolution, apparently thinking that disproving evolution proves creationism, it doesn’t. They demand evidence and supporting data from evolutionists while offering none proving creationism.
“So what we observe is consistent with creation, not with evolution.”
I disagree. It seems to me that creation would result in relatively few highly distinct species. Why would a creator make 50 types of birds with minor differences that do essentially the same thing? Why are there thousands of species of insects? Why are there mosquitos? Why make them so annoying?
I am not an expert in evolution or religion, nor am I a fanboy or hater of either. I maintain a healthy skepticism toward both. I am not a theorist. My interests have always been in practical applications and problem solving. Neither the study of evolution or religion lend themselves to that. I do however, enjoy an intelligent discussion of them from time to time. Thanks for that. I wish you well.
