Speedy Species Surprise
If we start with the Word of the One who knows all, the evidence of today’s world makes a great deal of sense.
When God created the world, he declared that all living things were to reproduce ‘after their kind’. That means rats come from rats, horses from horses, roses from roses, and humans from humans.
Evolution has never been observed to have occurred and the fossil record shows no evidence of any in-between stages of anything. Every so often claims are made that some in-between fossil has been found, but sooner or later in each case, the claims have been shown to be wrong.
God created within living things a wonderful genetic capacity for rapid change in response to environmental pressures. This rapid change within kinds is most easily observed today in isolated island environments. It has nothing to do with evolution - changing from one kind to another. It’s all about ‘adaptation’ - changes that occur within kinds, but only according to genetic information that is already present.
