What is macro evolution?
I’m sorry to say that although the words sound very alike, almost too alike, there is a
big difference between the two. Well macro evolution is the idea that one animal changes
into a more complex animal over millions of years. It is said to achieve this through
genetic mutations, natural selection and survival of the fittest parameter. We learn a
lot about this kind of evolution in our schools and in our universities.
Basically, a simple living cell mutates and becomes a more complex cell over time.
This process repeats itself and eventually you’ve got a sophisticated living organism that
through natural selection processes adapts itself to its environment. The more successful
the adaptation, the better it’s chances of survival and thus the term survival of the
fittest. Over more time and through genetic mutations, natural selection and survival
methods, the organism becomes an animal and so on until it becomes a human being. The
fact that man looks very similar to a monkey or guerrilla, makes this idea very possible
indeed. Remember, a key feature of macro evolution is genetic mutations.
So what are the problems with the theory of evolution then?
Evolution is taught as fact in schools, through the media, and by main stream scientist.
But some of the school education is known by mainstream science to be false. I’ll provide
one example here; this example is Haeckel's embryonic diagram.
What is Haeckel's embryonic diagram?
Haeckel’s drawings of embryos at three different stages for (from left to right):
fish, salamander, tortoise, chick, hog, calf, rabbit and man (from 1876, Plates VI-VII).
The supposed “gill-slits” are shown in grey.
Please look at my illustration provided, Haeckel had proposed the concept that all life
from inception, i.e. the embryonic stage looked the same. Basically he proposed that human
life, animal life and fish life all looked almost identical as an embryo in its early stages
of development.
