Engineers Crash the Evolution Party, Rethink Biological Variation
Miller and Luskin discuss fruit flies, finch beaks, stickleback fish, mutational hotspots, phenotypic plasticity, and the gravity well model.
Studies on Stickleback Fish Further Validate Engineering Models for Adaptation
Cichlid and stickleback fish are two of the most iconic examples of adaption that biologists present as evidence for the plausibility of evolutionary processes.

Loss of Function in Stickleback Fish = Loss of Another Argument for “Macroevolution” for Francis Collins
In his book The Language of God, theistic evolutionist scientist Francis Collins contends that diversity within populations of stickleback fish demonstrates that there is no distinction between “macroevolution” and “microevolution.” According to Collins, “It is not hard to see how the difference between freshwater and saltwater sticklebacks could be extended to generate all kinds of fish. The distinction between macroevolution and microevolution is therefore seen to be rather arbitrary; larger changes that result in new species are a result of a succession of smaller incremental steps.” (p. 132) Aside from the fact that this provides another example refuting the Darwinist myth that ID proponents invented terms like “macroevolution” or “microevolution,” a closer look at the facts shows that Collins’ story Read More ›
