Darwin's Theory

As most of you know, Charles Darwin popularized the theory of Evolution. In 1835, Darwin took a trip to the Galapagos Islands on which he observed some finches. These finches were amazing to him because there were many different shapes, sizes, and colors. There were finches with big beaks and little beaks, sharp beaks and round beaks. He thought that these finches were changing into new finches, hence the theory of evolution. Even modern day creationists believe that these finches were changing, but they were not evolving. Every animal has the ability to adapt or change. The beak sizes of finches can change over time; poodles can evolve from wolves over time; and the average height of man can change over time. These changes are within the makeup of their genes. But a dog cannot become a cat, and a rat cannot turn into a kangaroo. The amazing thing is that most modern day evolutionist now agree that these finches were not evolving. The best evidence for this is that these finches at one point started to bread with each other, proving that they were indeed one species of finch. Putting all this together, the theory of evolution was based on something that was not true.
