Abstract
Part I discussed three of the eight primary lines of evidence offered for macroevolution and Darwinian mechanisms.—Part II addresses the remaining arguments for macroevolution and Darwinian mechanisms. Evolutionists are cited who suggest that (1) the "facts of comparative anatomy provide no evidence for evolution," while the "attempt to find homologous genes has been given up as hopeless"; (2) the embryological argument used to center on a biogenetic "law" that has "been demonstrated to be wrong by numerous subsequent scholars," and now stands on the problem that "anatomically homologous parts in different related organisms appear to have quite different origins"; (3) the comparative biochemistry argument offers a "serious . . . challenge to the whole evolutionary framework" rather than support, by widespread anomalies that require "a robust rejection of a generalized molecular clock hypothesis of DNA evolution"; (4) the population genetics argument has made "no direct contribution to what Darwin obviously saw as the fundamental problem: the origin of species," and "is merely the blind leading the blind"; and (5) the artificial selection argument overlooks that "selective breeding is not analogous to the action of 'natural selection'." All scientists mentioned in this article are evolutionists unless otherwise identified. All emphases in the quotes is the author's.
