abnormal peculiarities, these are soon corrected, often in the next
generation. Even Professor H. H. Newman says, "On the whole, the
contributions of biometry to our understanding of the causes of
evolution are rather disappointing." A science that upsets evolution
is certainly disappointing to evolutionists.



8. NO NEW SPECIES NOW


They tell us that 3,000,000 species of plants and animals developed
from one primordial germ, in 60,000,000 years. How many new species
should have arisen in the last 6,000 years? Now 20 doublings of the
first species of animals would make 1,048,576 species, since 2 raised
to the 20th power becomes 1,048,576. Again we will favor the
evolutionists, by omitting from the calculation all species of animals
in excess of 1,048,576. Therefore, on an average, each of the 20
doublings would take 1/20 of 60,000,000 years, or 3,000,000 years;
and, therefore, 1/2 of the entire 1,048,576 species, or 524,288
species, must have originated within the last 3,000,000 years. Can
that be the case? Certainly not.

And since the number of species must have increased in a geometrical
ratio, 2097 species must have arisen or matured within the last 6000
years--an average of one new species of animals every 3 years. How
many species actually have arisen within the last 6000 years? 2000?
200? or 2? It is not proven that _a single new species has arisen in
that time_. Not one can be named. If approximately 2000 new species
have not arisen in the last 6000 years, the evolution of species can
