Is Natural Selection Evolution?

When I talk to groups of children and teens, I tell them about “a bait and switch.” You see, evolutionists will talk about natural selection—and they’ll show examples such as Darwin’s finches. Now, these finches have different-sized beaks, allowing them to eat different foods. Then they’ll say, “See, we’re observing evolution.”

But what they’re really observing is small changes within a kind. You see, the genetic information to produce different beak sizes is already there. It’s built into the finches’ DNA. For evolution to happen, you’d need brand-new information to produce brand-new features—and that’s never been what we observe.

Natural selection, it’s not evolution.
