That natural selection can produce changes within a type is disputed by no one, not even the staunchest creationist. But that it can transform one species into another – that, in fact, has never been observed.

About This Quote

No one would argue that natural selection can produce changes within a type. They would agree with Darwin’s explanation of how it works, which is the theory of evolution by natural selection. The statement “it can transform one species into another” is not widely accepted. Rather, creationists believe that creation involved an act of divine intervention, and God brought all life to earth in its present form at the beginning of time.
