Henry Morris, Ph.D., of the Institute for Creation Research, proclaimed that “the lack of a case for evolution is clear from the fact that no one has ever seen it happen. If it were a real process, evolution should still be occurring, and there should be many "transitional" forms that we could observe. What we see instead, of course, is an array of distinct "kinds" of plants and animals with many varieties within each kind, but with very clear and -- apparently -- unbridgeable gaps between the kinds.” But if evolution is not taking place and there are unbridgeable gaps, how could Morris explain what happens when two species, let’s say humans, breed. The DNA from two individuals combines and traits from both parents will be present in the offspring.
