Did Darwin’s Finches Evolve?

If you ask for evidence of evolution, you’ll probably hear about the finches on the Galapagos Islands. Darwin famously observed changes in their beak size and shape. These small changes are often taught as examples of evolution.

They’re anything but.

You see, what we actually observe in these finches is just natural selection, with other mechanisms at work. As the environment changes, the population shifts. But the diversity in beak size and shape is already there. The genetic information to make small or large beaks already exists in the finch DNA.

You know, there’s no known naturalistic mechanism that can produce brand-new genetic information. Evolution’s wrong!
