Creation Moment 9/28/2014 - "Micro-evolution" in progress


...and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth;

that they may breed abundantly in the earth,

and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

Genesis 8:17
"A bright orange poison dart frog with a unique call was discovered in Donoso, Panama, and
described by researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí in Panama, and the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. In the species description published this week in Zootaxa, it was named Andinobates geminisae for Geminis Vargas, "the beloved wife of [coauthor] Marcos Ponce, for her unconditional support of his studies of Panamanian herpetology."
Genetic information about this species is available in the Barcode of Life Data System and in GenBank. A recording of the call is available at AmphibiaWeb.org."

 The above story would be an example of micro-evolution, better known as genetic variation today. In other words, it's how we get different shapes, sizes & colors.
Macro-evolution on the other hand, is what people mean when thy say "evolution" today in common  parlance on origins.----
                                       "Micro-evolution"= the frog is still a frog.
