Finches, Tortoises, and More: Creationists Tour “Evolution’s” Iconic Islands

While at the Galápagos, our team filmed some exciting video content, so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you won’t miss these videos debunking evolution on Darwin’s own turf.

Now, Darwin’s observations about small changes within a kind were accurate (that’s observational science), but he took the idea too far, arguing for changes between kinds—something that has never been (and never will be) observed.

The Galápagos Islands are most heavily associated with Darwin and his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, but they aren’t the only place he stopped. His position as the naturalist on that ship took him to South America, the South Pacific, and to Australia. Along the way, he encountered many organisms that convinced him that species weren’t fixed (a popular, but erroneous, view at the time). He (falsely) posited that those small changes between species within a kind could add up to big changes between kinds over time.
