The central hypothesis has been attacked over and over. When it is, however, netters change their tune and claim that evidence against evolution is NOT evidence for creation. Mutation has been shown to be a poor mechanism for Evolution. Transmutation has never been observed and most all mutations have proven harmful. The variations within species are predicted by the creation model. Even Evolutionists have admitted the problems involved with Evolution occuring by chance mutation. Natural selection has serious problems as well. It has been stated that N.S. predicts everything, therefore it predicts nothing. Evolution really has more problems than you are willing to believe. Dan
