Speciation

No matter how many times I point creationists to the evidence, they persist in saying nobody has ever observed a new kind being formed. Creationists say they were all created on one day by Yahweh. Kind is an obsolete ill-defined biblical word. They mean species. I refer them to a book over and over that describes the details of speciation — the evolution of new species. They keep pretending never to have heard. See Evolving: The Human Effect and Why It Matters by Dr. Daniel J. Fairbanks. Speciation has been observed many times in the fossil record, in the lab and in the field. It has been observed so many times they had to invent vocabulary to divide it into four types: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric and sympatric. Scientists don’t make up vocabulary for fairy tales the way Christians do.
