If God is involved, then competition and death are His chosen method of creation, and He, not man, is responsible for death. This consideration provides a sufficient reason for any Christian to reject evolution. Two fatal flaws of naturalistic evolutionary theory are briefly mentioned by the authors, seemingly without realizing their seriousness. The resistance of species to change beyond a certain point is well known. Similar statements could be made of every species investigated by science.
Science is able to test whether species have the capacity to change.
The test has been performed countless times, and the result has always been that species can change in modest amounts, but always within limits. When science demonstrates that species can change in ways that produce new types of organisms, creationists will take note of it. In the meantime, creation provides a plausible explanation for the origin of the diversity of living organisms. The second flaw in the argument presented in the book is the failure of science to explain the origin of life. Creationists feel that the best model available is not naturalistic at all.
