Jonathon Wells, Ph.D.

I focused on the mechanism of evolution-specifically, the neo-Darwinian mechanism of natural selection acting on random genetic mutations. I found that evidence for selection, with a few highly questionable exceptions, was limited to minor changes within existing species. I learned that genetic mutations are almost always harmful… I found absolutely no evidence that genetic mutations can produce beneficial changes in anatomy, of the sort needed by evolutionary theory. Nor did I find evidence that mutations (any more than selection) could produce a new species.¹

For Darwinists, “empiricism is not the primary value at stake. The more important priority is to maintain the naturalistic worldview.”²

No one has ever seen descent with modification produce a new species. So, as a description of the origin of new species, descent with modification from a common ancestor is not a fact.³
