Using the
dog kind as an example, we can see the amazing variety that was programmed into
the DNA from creation. Using basic genetic principles and operational science,
we can understand how the great diversity seen in the dogs of the present world
could have come from one pair of dogs on Noah’s Ark. Using the genes A, B, and C
as examples of recessive/dominant traits in dogs, if an AaBbCc male were to mate
with an AaBbCc female, there are 27 different combinations (AABBCC … aabbcc)
possible in the offspring. If these three genes coded for fur characteristics,
we would get dogs with many types of fur—from long and thick to short and thin.
As these dogs migrated around the globe after the Flood, they encountered
different climates. Those that were better suited to the environment of the cold
North survived and passed on the genes for long, thick fur. The opposite was
true in the warmer climates. Natural selection is a key component of the
explanation of events following the Flood that led to the world we now see...Not only does natural selection select from already existing information, it causes a loss of information since unfavorable genes are removed from the population. Mutations are not able to add new information to the genome..." Full text: Natural selection and speciation, Ham, Wieland, and Batten.
