"Evolutionists say that random errors in the DNA, coupled with the survival of the fittest, have generated every living organism on the planet, from diatoms to dunnocks, yeasts to yaks, and pneumococci to naval architects.
In June 2022, the University of Bath (UK) issued a press release from Professor Matthew Wills and colleagues, provocatively titled, “Study suggests that most of our evolutionary trees could be wrong.”
Evolutionary scientists usually start with the assumption that
As well as analyzing the evolutionary trees of 48 groups of animals and plants (comparing morphological family trees with molecular trees), Matthew Wills and colleagues also cross-referenced the data to each creature’s geographical location. Nobody had done this before. To their great surprise, “animals grouped together by molecular trees lived more closely together geographically than the animals grouped using the morphological trees”, leading Prof Wills to admit:
“… it turns out that we’ve got lots of our evolutionary trees wrong. For over a hundred years, we’ve been classifying organisms according to how they look and are put together anatomically, but molecular data often tells us a rather different story.”
Professor Wills re-emphasized this evolutionary dilemma more recently, once again highlighting his team’s counterintuitive study findings:
“Evolutionary trees based on DNA data were two-thirds more likely to match with the location of the species compared with traditional evolution maps. In other words, previous trees showed several species were related based on appearance. Our research showed they were far less likely to live near each other compared to species linked by DNA data.”
In other words, such research upsets evolutionary family trees across the board."
