Mendel was talking about inheritence from one generation to the next. Going back to the analogy of walking, Mendel was talking about standing still. He didn't know that DNA existed or that DNA mutation was inevitable. In other words, he didn't know that you could walk. All he knew was that if you stood still in one position at 12 o'clock, at 12:01 you'd still be at that position. He didn't know that you will inevitably start walking.
Okay, so let's say that you have to start walking. You start at point A. You have no idea how you got to point A, but you did. You can't see, but you know that you have to start walking. So, you walk in a direction--right off of a cliff.
Now there are millions of blind people at point A (a mountain peak, by the way). They all start walking. Their goal is to reach point B. However, the only way to point B is a narrow ridge between two steep cliffs.
So they all walk. Let's say 100,000,000 start. Just randomly walking, only about fifty would make it to point B. The others died by simply walking off the cliff, or they were pushed off by others.
So these fifty people rest at point B and start reproducing. While reproducing, some wander away--off cliffs. Others might reach their new destination, point C, but have no others to reproduce with, so they'll not contribute to the population at point C.
And soon, another reaches point C. Population increases there.
And so on and so on until you reach point
n. Here, the only way to get to point
n+1, you need to build a bridge across the chasm that separates you two. There is no ridge. There, at point
n+1 you have the platypus (which has no home on the evolutionary tree) or the bombardier beetle.
WAIT AND READ ON
Before you hit the reply button hear me out. Before you say "PRATT!", hear me out.
I know you think I'm going to say 'Ha, the beetle couldn't have evolved', know that I did my research. I found a website,
Bombardier Beetles and the Argument of Design, that explains how the beetle could have evolved.
However, since you evolutionists like to use the argument "We've never seen God, therefore He can't exist", I'll use something along the same lines.
Muscles are moved around slightly....
When have we ever observed a change (mutation) where 'muscles move around slightly'? The only good mutation anybody's ever given is bacteria developing a resistance to a phage.
When has a mutation moved muscles around, which is a key part in the bombardier beetle's 'evolution'?
