Claim CB902.1:

Evolutionists claim that biological evolution is extrapolated from the minor variations we observe. They ignore that there are barriers to large change.

Source:

Morris, John D., 2003. Dating Niagara Falls. Impact 359 (May), p. iv.

Response:

  1. What barriers? The only barrier that anyone has ever proposed is time, and the hundreds of millions of years available for evolution show that time is not a real barrier.

  2. Evolution is not just extrapolated from observed microevolution; it is also interpolated from observed changes in the fossil record and from the pattern of observed similarities and differences between present species.
