All of these past weeks have been leading up to one conclusion: The naturalistic approach to “explaining” the development of species on Earth is a wholly inadequate account. Like the fossil record itself, the entire neo-Darwinian paradigm is much more …

Here, as in so much of the theorizing we have examined, there is a lot of confusion. The term itself, “punctuated equilibrium,” feels almost “made up,” and even scientists are divided about what the term really means.

But we are …

With all honest evolutionists admitting that there have been no observed speciation events, but with neo-Darwinism hanging on the supposed fact that speciation events do occur, all eyes turn to the fossil record for the “fact of evolution” to be …

Mainstream evolutionists are well-represented by the following short video clip, as they use various inferences and argumentation to interpret what the fossil record shows.

Fossils and Transitional Forms — This 9-minute clip argues that the fossil record does beautifully support …

Please first watch the 3:15-minute YouTube video (which opens in a new page/tab), and then come back to this page to read the analysis of the argumentation.

Now, let us consider the important points….

We do not find any hybrids …

Start by watching this about 4-minute video on YouTube (which displays in a new window/tab), and then return here for critique.

First, of significant note are the comments on the YouTube page. The arrogance and stridency exhibited in the comments …

Now that we better understand what a “species” is and why some line of demarcation must be employed, we can look closely at some classic examples of supposed speciation events.

Remember that scientists really must point to speciation events (either …

We often use terms without really thinking about what they mean: “Justice,” for example, or “lost.” Human beings are able to handle a lot of ambiguity without feeling too troubled by it. However, when an entire world view (or the …

The defining characteristic of Darwinism is the mechanism of natural selection.

Natural selection is the theorized process by which members of a given generation (containing some “modification” in their genomes that is morphologically evident) get “selected” to reproduce or not.…

We have thus far talked about a lot of terminology, and we are in a position now to pull more pieces of the puzzle together into a coherent picture of what so-called “neo-Darwinism” or the “neo-Darwinian synthesis” really is.
