What I mean is that creationism has its good points
What good points would those be?
I want to know why a specified species, when mated with another of the same specified species, doesn't result in a random new species.
Well, again, parents don't have
random offspring, they have offspring determined by whatever genetic payload they wind up passing on.
We define "species", scientifically, as a reproductive community. Obviously, offspring and their parents must be part of the same reproductive community because there's gene flow between them (in one direction anyway.)
Speciation - the creation of a new species from an old one - occurs when a portion of a population is split from the whole. Subject to different pressures and isolated, genetic differences accrue until genetic incompatibility is too great to allow interfertile hybridization. That's the gist of it, anyway.
Like, why certain groups of people have a certain skin color, and others don't. I already know that it's a result of the amount of pigment in each respective "race," as we like to call it. But why?
You've never had a tan? You don't think that the darkening of your skin in response to sunlight is just coincidence, do you?
Ever have a sunburn, though? Pretty painful, right? If you were going to be out in the sun all day, having skin that was
already tan would have been a considerable advantage, right? So is it really so surprising to find that the people who live in hot, sunny Africa have dark skin?
Now, I'm not saying that the sun makes people black (although you may get a tan from the sun, it's not a tan you pass on to your children.) What I'm saying is that people who had been
born with genetics that programmed them to produce a certain amount of melanin in advance would have had an advantage over those who didn't, or who had much less.
I don't know. Doesn't seem that complicated to me, I guess. Maybe I don't understand what you're asking?
