Are Cities Driving Evolution?

I once saw a study that claimed cities are driving evolution and “spawning new species” in as little as twenty years!

But what do they mean by “evolution”? Well, they say “evolution” refers to the frequency of certain genes in a population. In other words, it’s the frequency of genes that were already there! That’s not evolution—nothing new was created!

What these researchers observed wasn’t evolution—it was adaptation and speciation within a kind because of already existing genetic information. These observable processes are consistent with the Bible’s teaching about kinds.
