DNA RESEARCH POKING HOLES IN DARWIN

The following is excerpted from “When your DNA research pokes holes in Darwin,” OneNewsNow.com, May 31, 2018: “Researchers are announcing they have made a game-changing discovery in evolutionary biology and it could bring science one step closer to biblical truth. According to the researchers, an American and a Swiss scientist, their study of DNA suggests that 100,000 animals first appeared at roughly the same time–not gradually over millions of years. Likely realizing how that damages the evolutionary model, one of the scientists publicly stated they were hesitant to release their findings. ‘There’s a great danger to the evolutionary model in this study in ways they don’t quite realize yet,’ comments Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, a research biologist for Answers in Genesis. Jeanson, who holds a PhD in cell development from Harvard, tells OneNewsNow that it’s true the researchers concluded that animals and humans arrived on earth at roughly the same time. The same study, he says, also found there is no cross-over species. A robin may evolve into a better robin, for example, but it didn’t become a lizard. The researchers aren’t admitting that Genesis 1:1 is true, of course, and the May 28 story headline describes ‘new facets of evolution’ in a study published in a journal entitled Human Evolution. But the story describes the ‘startling result’ that nine out of 10 species on earth today, including humans, ‘came into being’ 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. … ‘The conclusion is very surprising,’ one of the researchers said, ‘and I fought against it as hard as I could.’”
