Creation Moment 10/29/2020 - Dingo Dilema

 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind... 
Genesis 1:24

"Dingoes look like dogs, but evolutionists say they are not. Pat
 
Shipman writes, “Without question, most people from outside Australia first see a dingo and think, as I did, That’s a dog.’” A dingo looks like a dog, acts like a dog, and runs like a dog. But is not a dog – or so says Pat Lee Shipman in his American Scientist magazine’s cover story, “The Elusive Dingo.” 
What is it, then, and why is it one of the few placental mammals on a continent full of marsupials?
 
The answer is that a lack of fossil evidence permits much more freedom to invent just-so stories about the evolution of this or that animal. For dingoes, though, no fossil evidence of their presence exists outside of Australia, even though an enormous number of dingo fossils have been located inside the continent.

Anatomist and anthologist N.W.G. Macintosh summarized the “situation quite well after failing to find any definite answer [of their origin] after decades of study.” His conclusion is still true today: the “greatest problem in trying to write about the dingo is that one has no proof of the animal’s identification, ancestry, affinity, place of origin, or precise time of arrival in Australia.”

They are, unlike most dogs, very capable of climbing everything from trees to rocks to fences and other formidable obstacles. They have more shoulder and paw flexibility than do dogs or wolves. This makes them very adept at opening latches, doors, and other devices intended to confine them, to the consternation of Aussies.

And yet in spite of these differences, dingoes are genetically compatible with dogs. They show great alacrity in interbreeding with domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, jackals, and foxes. Furthermore, some genetic microsatellite combinations “can be used to estimate the degree of dingo and dog hybridization of any unknown individual, but there is no single trait that says ‘dingo’ or ‘domestic dog’ without ambiguity,” Shipman says.
 
 To evolutionists, dingoes are an enigma. This case history illustrates some of the problems evolutionists must confront when the evidence does not appear to support the Darwinian worldview. Probably the best Darwinian explanation (which is very problematic) is the supposition—without evidence—that all dingoes are descendants of some dogs that came to Australia 4,000 years ago. The fossil record is consistent with the creation view that dingoes were created as dingoes and have diversified somewhat since they were created about 6,000 years ago."
