Genesis 1 :1, KJ
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. …
24Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
Hebrews 11:3, KJ
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
2 Corinthians 4:18, KJ
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
Colossians 1:16-17, KJ
|
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. |

So God called all life into existence and formed it by the word of His mouth and faith. He called all life to multiply…according to their kind.
How did God do it to you?
Horizontal gene transfer swapped gene sequence across all life to which, all species groups diversified to form all modern life.
There’s no tree of life depicting common descent, but genetically an explosion of creative diversity, some call it the apparent Biological Big Bang. There’s no explanation for it other than lateral transfer of genes and TEs (transposable elements), or hybridization within specific species groups (kinds). It’s seen within ALL life no matter what time period. All domains of life swapped genes, gene sequence, even entire chromosomes. And there’s no intermediates or transitioning from these clusters of species groups.
“And yet—another unexpected finding from the study—species have very clear genetic boundaries, and there’s nothing much in between.
“If individuals are stars, then species are galaxies,” said Thaler. “They are compact clusters in the vastness of empty sequence space.”

Here’s an excerpt from a discussion by Richard Dawkins and Craig Venter. Venter has revolutionized genome sequencing being the first to sequence his own years before anyone else, even the governments human genome project. Venter traveled around the globe sequencing marine life in water to gather the raw genetic evidence to put to rest the theories on evolution of species…how did it really happen? What he found sets things right. There is no tree of life, but a bush of life perhaps. There is no common descent…not like the Darwinian model suggests.
…..
Craig Venter:
Viruses move genes around from totally dispersed species…in a very common fashion.
We have genes in our genome that resemble some from distant viruses, like a third of our genome is basically viral contaminate…when we sequenced the smallpox genome, the smallpox genome had a half dozen clearly human derived genes. We see bacterial genes moving in a lateral fashion from archea to bacteria to plants to single cell eurykatoes…we do have constant information exchange across the diversity of species on this planet.
Richard Dawkins:
Are you saying then…are you saying then..that somebody trying to do molecular taxonomy…are you saying that a molecular taxonomist trying to work out the taxonomy of say, marsupial mammals and placental mammals…would be thrown out because a bacterium or a virus at some point carried across a kangaroo gene into a jackal genome or something like that…you’re not saying that are you?
Venter:
We’re saying we see evidence of every branch of life in almost every genome. It depends on which gene you choose. And that’s been the problem with molecular taxonomy…you choose one gene out of two or three thousand in a genome, and try and classify it you come up with one answer. You pick another gene you get another tree…if you try and look at the genome as a whole you get a totally different answer. So…yes…we see genes moving around, you know the visible world and these few visible species…to me are, somewhat bizarre extremes of evolution. They’re not the standard. But if you look in those, in the marsupials verses the platypus genome…you would definitely find clear cut similarity. If we sequenced another mammalian genome…we would not discover a single new gene. We would discover unique combinations that made that mammal verses us. But we have saturated the gene set for mammals. The gene set of mammals, over half of those are shared broadly with other species…so you can’t draw a bright line in every gene and say, “these are plants and these are mammals…these are humans and these are marsupials “ because we have used those in the random design of biology as we will use them in the very specific design that we do in the laboratory.
So taxonomy is something where people sort of fool themselves of justifying what they see with their visual acuity.
Dawkins:
The overlap of mammal genes that you are talking about…could come about through common ancestry, so the platypus and kangaroo genomes contain shared genes because they go back to a common ancestor. That is the normal assumption that’s made by molecular taxonomists.
Venter:
Yes…but once you have lateral transfer, whether it’s due to viruses or anything else, the tree concept of life (common descent) goes away.
Dawkins:
That’s what I’m asking…To what extent does molecular taxonomy now have to be..not over thrown but at least thought of with great suspicion..because you cannot tell which genes are common because they are shared in a common ancestor, or because they are cross contaminated by viral or bacterial transfer.
