| Mutations never enhance the gene pools of the respective animal kinds
(including humankind); they do, however, destroy or rearrange genetic
material. Occasionally, mutations enhance a creature's survivability in
a particular environment (webbed-footed polar bears), but such rarities
are of happenstance, and not from genetic enhancement. Mutations almost
always harm a creature's survivability because mutations always alter
superior genetic sequences. The "species" of animals are actually naturally selected descendants of their relatively large-gene-pooled distant ancestors. The variations we observe within the respective animal kinds (like wolves, coyotes, and dingoes, within the dog-kind) reflect geographical, as well as genetic, "branching" out of the various animal kinds. The "races" of humans are similarly "branched" out from our common original ancestors. The vast majority of the kinds of animals in the fossil record are alive today. However, Darwinian evolution dictates that the vast majority of fossilized animal kinds be extinct; after all, we evolved from them, and thus are "fitter" than them, and so, allegedly, "out-survived" them. About 95% of fossilized creatures are marine animals: clams, snails, corals, fish, etc. These water creatures are found throughout the sedimentary rocks on the continents. Mostly water creatures in the rocks on the continents? How can this be? The water must have been up on the continents, no way around it. These sea creatures are even in the rocks of the mountains. The Greenlander tribe speak of a time when water covered the continents, and that is when the sea creatures were entombed in the sediments. But water covering the mountains? No, water covering lower relief continents, entombing the creatures, and then mountain uplift, as noted by the Greenlanders. After this massive tectonic and hydrological upheaval, the animal kinds and humans dispersed across the globe, divergently "adapting" to the new environments because certain genetic traits suited certain environments. Some genetic traits fostered greater survivability for creatures in a given environment, while others did not. That is natural selection. It isn't about one animal kind "evolving" into another. |
