Extreme variation of a species can produce a group that cannot interbreed with the original group, but while this is a new species by the definition that different species cannot normally interbreed, this is still just a subset of the original group, not an entirely different creature. This variation does happen, and is sometimes called micro-evolution, but this is most definitely not proof for macro-evolution, the changing of one species into another species. This shows that evolutionists' efforts to use such examples as the peppered moths, Galapagos finches, and fruit flies is futile, as these are all examples of variation within a species and not evidence for anything more.

3. The Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics itself opposes evolution also. Evolution says that natural selection will select for traits that make the creature more suited to its environment and also more complex. A better working creature has more complexity and less randomness, correct? This is despite the fact that the mutations are random? (Why do we say "descent" and "descendants" if ancestors are supposed to be lower forms of life than their descendants?) The second law essentially says that energy becomes less and less available in a system and entropy is always increasing. In other words, disordered states are much more likely than ordered states, so a natural system left to itself will always move toward a more chaotic state, not a more ordered state.

4. Embryological Development
Evolutionists often talk about "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and claim that human embryos go through the stages of evolution as they develop in the womb. I was taught that in high school biology as well, but that idea actually originated solely from some drawings of embryos that Ernst Haeckel drew in the 19th century. Fairly recently, it's been brought to light that he faked those drawings. Modern imaging techniques show that animal embryos look very different from each other and from human embryos. Have you ever seen pictures of human embryos? By eight weeks or so, the general shape is all there in miniature: head, body, limbs, looking nothing like an animal. The early development probably looks similar to other vertebrates to some extent, but ultimately, small differences early on become magnified as the embryo grows, until the different features are clearly apparent, and these differences form a unique pattern of development for each kind of life.
