Stasis

In-Between Creatures and The Problem of Stasis

Rabbit TurtleMany evolutionists have given up on using the fossil record to provide evidence for evolution. However, they still present it to our kids in school, and show what they consider to be “in-between” animals to prove evolution. The truth is, there are no indisputable in-between animals either living, or to be found in the fossil record. With the hundreds of thousands of created beings, it certainly stands to reason that at least a few would appear to be changing into something else, if a particular worldview demands it. But it takes a bit of imagination to “see” one animal changing into another type, just by observing a few of their bones. The problem is stasis; the stability of “kind” designed by our Creator (Genesis 1: 21, 24, 25), without which the fossil record would be totally dominated by oddities and misfits, representing the “trial and error” needed to become a viable creature. All living creatures would be their own unique kind with absolutely no counterpart (male to female). A very unworkable scenario if you need to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1: 22, 28). All would be chaotic and there would be no classification system such as exists today. There would be change from one kind to another and not just variation within kind (which all creationists accept). To extrapolate variation within kinds to actual creation of new kinds is scientific error, and not at all conducive to reality. Charles Darwin deceived himself by his own irrational thinking (finches with different sized beaks always remain finches, and never become another kind of animal). He was, like many evolutionary scientists of today, committed to “change of one kind into another”, even though it has never been observed (the fruit fly experiments have backfired). And finding a “common ancestor” for apes and humans is their most sought-after prize. That is why there is so much indoctrination concentrated within this particular area. But stasis (set up by our Creator) remains scientific reality. A common ancestor for apes and humans will always be the elusive figment of their very fertile imagination. ~Harry Moore
