Decrees Of Nazi Brutality Dresden (WWII 1942-1945)

1. The Victor Klemperer Diaries: Volume 2 (1942-1945). On Page 98 of this classic record on WWII, ‘I Shall Bear Witness’, Professor Victor Klemperer recalls a list of the decrees of bans valid on Jews in Dresden in 1942:

♦ Home after 8pm or 9pm: Inspection!

♦ Expelled from one’s own house to live in Jewish ‘commune’/’ghetto’.

♦ Ban on radio & telephone, theatres, cinemas, concerts, museums.

♦ Ban on subscribing to or purchasing periodicals.

♦ Ban on using public transport, buses & taxi-cabs: Three phases: 

  a. busses banned, only front platform of tram permitted; 

  b. All use banned, except to work; 

 c. To work on foot, unless one lives 2.5 miles away or is sick. Difficult to get doctor’s certificate.

♦ Ban on purchasing ‘goods in short supply’ & on purchasing cigars & any smoking materials, purchasing flowers.

♦ Withdrawal of milk ration card.

♦ Ban on going to the barber and the call-out of a tradesman without permission from ‘Community’.

♦ Compulsory surrender of typewriters, furs & woollen blankets.

♦ Bicycles forbidden on Sundays; only allowed its use to ride to work.

♦ Ban on deck chairs, dogs, cats & birds.

♦ Ban on leaving Dresden, entering market halls & entering railway station, setting foot on Ministry Embankment & in parks or using Burgerwiese Street and roads bordering Great Garden.

♦ Mandatory sewing on and displaying of (Yellow) Jew’s Star in public (since Sept.19).

♦ Ban on reserve foodstuffs at home and use of lending libraries.

♦ All restaurants closed to Jewish Star patrons.

♦ No clothing card, no fish card or special rations (coffee, chocolate, fruit, condensed milk).

♦ Mandatory ‘special taxes’.

♦ Constantly contracting disposable allowance (600marks>320m>185m).

♦ Shopping restrictions: One hour  (3-4pm; Sunday 12-1pm).

♦ Constant house-searches (often accompanied by assault and diverse kinds of petty brutality on respondents).

   “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” [Proverbs 12:10b].

Heresy In The Church?

 1. Heresy in the Church. A disconcerting phenomenon these days is how so many churches & denominations are opting for a ‘No-Satan Theology’. So, without trying to glorify the ‘king of darkness’, I must in all sincerity stress where such movements are going skew by showing that Satan is an adversary that actually exists for Christians to reckon with. For instance:

♦ Jesus never lied [John3:12; 8:46].

♦ The same Jesus who said there is God and a Heaven, also said that there was a Hell and a Satan. If we want to throw out the doctrine of Hell and Satan, we must be consistent and throw out the doctrine of God and Heaven too. [Matthew5:22,29,30; 10:28; 11:23; 16:18; Luke12:5].

♦ If not Satan, who did Jesus see fall from Heaven like ‘lightning’? [Luke10:18].

♦ If not Satan, who entered Judas on the night of his betrayal of Jesus? [Luke 22:3].

♦ If not Satan, who  beguiled Eve to sin in the Garden of Eden and tempted Jesus in the wilderness? [Gen3:1-5; Matt-4:1].

♦ If not Satan (among others) who is it that will be thrown into the Lake  of Fire in the Book of Revelation? [Revelation19:20; 20:10,14,15;  21:8].

♦ If not from Satan, where do ‘demons’ come from?  [James2:19; 1Corinthians10:20,21; 1Timothy4:1].

♦ If the existence of Hell, Satan and demons have to be interpreted metaphorically, then we must be consistent and interpret the existence of Heaven, God and angels also metaphorically ... a change in policy which will render the Holy Scriptures theologically impotent, redundant and doctrinally obsolete in Evangelical Christianity (exactly what Satan and his hordes of demons want!).

2. God has probably created Satan with a specific purpose.  Also referred to as the Destroyer, Satan was created to destroy. This is borne out in Scriptures like John1:3; John10:10; Isaiah54:6. It is also no coincidence that both Judas Iscarioth and the Anti-Christ are referred to as the Son of Perdition. [Revelation17:8,11; 2Thessalonians2:3; 1Timothy6:9; John17:12].

3. Do the math.  When Jesus told the Pharisees that their ‘father’ was the ‘Devil’, was He lying? [John8:39-45]. If so, in that case (a position that I definitely do not hold) then Jesus Christ Himself would be the worst of liars in all of history.q

South Africans: If You Don't Like Colonialism Why Are You Following Colonialists?

1.  Why Do South Africans Follow Colonialists? I completely understand why so many South Africans are chagrined by the so-called ‘legacy of colonialism’; my great-grandmother and her family were, along with numerous others, forced by British soldiers (on stallions) to walk from Lichtenburg to a concentration camp in Potchefstroom during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902, such were the fortunes & ravages of war. Ironically, only twelve years later Boer and Brit were fighting alongside each other in the ‘war to end all wars’, i.e. the ‘Great War’ of 1914-1918; and, if that was not enough, again in WWII (1939-1945).  What intrigues me is how many South Africans today, in spite of all the anti-colonialism vitriol & rhetoric, so sheepishly choose to still doggedly follow their colonialist heroes of old. Examples:

- Colonialist KARL MARX (SOCIALISM / COMMUNISM). Why do so many South Africans still want to pursue Marxist ideas when Marxism (Socialism, Communism) has caused so much misery in communist-driven regimes of the twentieth century? Check out the legacy of Marxism-driven Communism: 

   “There were many mass killings under communist regimes of the 20th century. Death estimates vary widely, depending on the definitions of the deaths that are included in them. The higher estimates of mass killings account for the crimes that governments committed against civilians, including executions, the destruction of populations through man-made hunger and deaths that occurred during forced deportations and imprisonment, and deaths that resulted from forced labor.” [Wikipedia].  

P.S. Check out mass killings estimates  (some put it at 100 million) at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masskillings under communist egimes.

- Colonialist BERTRAND RUSSELL (ATHEISM /SECULAR HUMANISM / TRANSHUMANISM / POSTHUMANISM).  The ‘doyen’ of atheists who, along with so many other atheists, have, through the religious cult of Atheism, fuelled (and sporadically are still fuelling) the murderous anti-God, anti-Bible communist regimes of the former U.S.S.R, China, East-Bloc countries & elsewhere in the world.

- Colonialist CHARLES DARWIN (DARWINISM / ATHEISM-EVOLUTIONISM / DARWINIAN-CREATIONISM). It boggles the mind how so many South Africans still flock to ‘Maropeng: Cradle of Humankind’ to check out their ‘next-of-kin’ (Mrs Ples) at this Evolution-driven theme-park which was dismissed as a hoax by the court of worldwide public opinion when it featured just about nowhere in all of the three categories of Nature, Cities & World in the recent  worldwide ‘New Seven Wonders Of The World Competition’ .

   The irony of it all is that how many gullible South Africans (irrespective of race and skin colour and all of whom must surely hate racism of any kind) can go along so eagerly with the evolutionists’ idea that they share a ‘common ancestor’ with primates … the ultimate anthropological insult if ever there was one.

- Colonialist Sigmund FREUD (PSYCHOANALYSIS / PSYCHOTHERAPY). Great on diagnoses (sometimes) but poor on solutions & remedies, this is no worthy replacement for the power of prayer and the grace of a living God and Heavenly Father.

Evolution's Infamous Hall Of Shame

   The following popular ‘icons’ of Evolution were proved to be either fraudulent, gross misinterpretation or pure daydreaming:

1. ’Piltdown Man’. Charles Dawson’s forgery (1912) exposed in 1953 by a team of Scotland Yard detectives and scientists which included Prof. J.S. Weiner, a South African scientist ser-ving at Oxford University.

2. ’Nebraska Man’. Idea developed from one single piece of palaeontological material, i.e. the tooth of a pig (probably extinct). 

3. 'Lucy’. Available information shows that ‘Lucy’ probably was just some kind of ‘pygmy chimp’ although evolutionists are still travelling the world exhibiting 'Lucy's worthless dead bones. 

4. ’Mrs. Ples’ (alias ‘Mr. Ples’, ‘Ms. Ples’). An extinct ape with a brain capacity below ‘Keith’s Rubicon’ of 750cc to qualify as precursor to humans. See ‘Maropeng: Cradle of Humankind’ below.

5. ’Rhodesia Man’. Described by experts as ‘an ordinary, modern human’, so why the fuss?

6. ’Neanderthal Man’.  Ordinary human of probably very advanced age suffering from Vitamin D deficiency associated ailments, i.e. rickets, diabetes etc.

7. ’Archaeopteryx’. Proved a hoax in 1985 by six of the world’s top scientists.

8. ’Coelacanth’. The so-called ‘living fossil’ or ‘index fossil’ still alive today; the first one caught swimming in the Indian Ocean on 22 December 1938. 

P.S. What on earth is a ‘living fossil’ ... they call this 'science'? My Grade-1 teacher was a 'living fossil' but we meant it satirically.

9. ‘Horse Evolution’. Reportedly no serious scientist still supports Othniel Marsh’s horse-evolution myth.

10. ‘Embryo Resemblances’.  Prof. Ernst Haeckel was reportedly dismissed from his university in Germany for this fraud.

11. ‘Orce Man’. Ordinary skull of a 4-month old donkey. Evolutionists have become so desperate that they are using (i) donkey-skulls to prove that (ii) human skulls have evolved from (iii) ape-skulls (Ape skulls > Donkey skulls > Human skulls).

12. ’Peking Man’.  Probably an ordinary (savage) representative of ‘modern man’ who crushed the skulls of apes to scoop out and eat the brains.

13. ’Oort Cloud’. A theoretical cloud (region) in space where comets are allegedly dislodged into the Universe, first described in 1950 by Dutch astronomer Jan Oort.  

P.S. ‘Theoretical’ means it doesn’t really exist.

14. ’Maropeng: Cradle Of Humankind’. This money-spinner of an archaeological theme-park near Johannesburg, South Africa has, during the recent worldwide  ‘New Seven Wonders of the World Competition’, featured absolutely nowhere in either of the three categories of ‘Cities’, ‘Nature’ & ‘World’. 

P.S. The worldwide court of public opinion has, for all practical purposes and in other words, dismissed its claim as the 'cradle of humankind' as an elaborate hoax.

Knowledge Not Worth Knowing

1. Introduction. As an ‘old-timer’ already in the sunset-season of my life, I would advise young people in the prime of life not to waste their precious time with knowledge not worth knowing. Some examples below.

1.1 Atheism.  Dubbed the ‘New Dead Poets Society’, this death-cult still believes in death-after-death and dismisses the existence of Absolute Truth (GOD) while, ironically, adamantly insisting on the ‘absolute truth’ of the morbid worldview of  Atheism.

1.2 Astrology. A field of study so obsolete it was already dismissed as a hoax as far back as thousands of years ago during Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) times [Deuteronomy4:19]. People who still dabble in Astrology to have their 'horoscopes' ('horrorscopes'?)  cast are wasting their time with a superstition at least three millenniums out of date. 

1.3 Spiritualism. The practice of ‘consulting or calling up the spirits of the dead’ is condemned by GOD in the Bible [Leviticus19:26; Deuteronomy18:11; 2Kings21:6; Isaiah8:19]. How any serious, educated person from the 21st century can still indulge in this medieval, infantile fancy (and actually dare to unethically & immorally make money from it!) boggles the mind.

1.4 Scientology.  This cult, totally dismissive of and indifferent to the GOD from the Judeo-Christian traditions of the Bible, nevertheless still has had the audacity to register itself as a ‘church’ (i.e. ‘Church of Scientology’) ... and how expedient.  It nevertheless has all the trappings and appearances of a full-blown UFO cult.

1.5 Scientism. The ideology that worships ‘science’ as the ultimate solution to all the problems and challenges facing mankind. Science is a good servant but a bad master as the cities of Hiroshima & Ngasaki  could well testify and as all the new and better bombs and missile to destroy cities and peoples’ lives so aptly demonstrate.

1.6 Darwinian Creationism. As if the pagan worldview of Classical (Atheistic) Darwinism was not enough, Darwinian Creationism (‘Creative Theistic Evolution’) has recently emerged as a convenient Appeasement Theology for those ‘theists’ in the Church (or in the Intelligent Design, Old Earth Creationism movement) still in favour of Darwinism.

   Ironically, after 'millions of years of progressive evolution' (sic) mankind's mortality rate for every generation in every nation is still 100% ... when will 'Evolution' ever learn to get it right?

1.7 The 'Things of an Infant'. Too many too supply an exhaustive list. Examples of worldviews and ideas to take cognizance of but not to embrace as belief-systems: 

   Marxism; Neo-Nazism; Neo-Fascism; Christian Science; Christian Atheism; 'World Transformation Movement'; Dianetics; Sikhism; Taoism; Islam; Hinduism; Buddhism; Asian & Oriental Mysticism; African Mysticism; Ancestral Worship/Forefather Veneration; Voodoo; Uniformitarianism (Darwinism); Scientific Pantheism (Atheism-Evolutionism); Mormonism, Russellism (JW), Secular Humanism, Transhumanism & Posthumanism; Postmodernism & Interfaithism (Religious Syncretism); Pro-Choice Expediency Abortions, Antifa, BLM, Critical Race Theory (CRT), Psychoanalysis (Freud), LGBTQ philosophy, Pre-Adamite Race Theory, Fortunetelling etc.  The Bible says:

   "When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant, I thought as an infant, I reasoned as an infant. But when I became a man, I did away with the things of an infant." [1Corinthians13:11].   

2. Reality Check. Jesus Christ (i) did not need ‘millions of years’ to multiply the loaves and the fishes (i.e. to create new matter at will) during the feeding of the thousands and, during His ministry on earth, has (ii) personally affirmed the veracity of the Genesis Creation Account and the historical Noah’s Flood: 

   "But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark. And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man." [Matthew24:37-39].

More Examples Of How 'Evolution' Almost Happened

Also see 'The Story Of How Evolution Almost Really Happened'. [Summary of three articles blended into one].

1. Pink Salmon. According to the Smithsonian Magazine migratory behaviour patterns in animals (ascribed to environmental factors) cause fish such as Pink Salmon to swim from the ocean up freshwater streams to spawn where warmer waters make earlier migrating fish more resilient helping fish populations to hold steady over decades. [SmithsonianMagazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the final analysis the Pink Salmon are still fish.

2. Tawny Owls. “With milder winters in Finland, one population of tawny owls showed a significant uptick in brown-plumed owls over the last 28 years, according to a 2011 Nature Communications study. The researchers also saw a nationwide increase in brown owls over the last 48 years. It makes sense that natural selection might favor brown coloration: With less snow, brown owls are better at blending in with the surrounding forest, giving those birds a better chance to survive and reproduce.” [Smithsonian Magazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ happened across  ‘kinds’; in the end the owls were still birds.

3. Pitcher Plant Mosquitoes. “In the bogs of eastern North America, the larvae of pitcher plant mosquitoes (Wyeomyia smithii) hibernate in winter and blossom into fully grown adults come spring, when they thrive on the nectar inside their namesake plants. As the days grow shorter, the mosquitoes are genetically program-med to hibernate. Mosquitos at the southern end of the species’ range had already adapted to delay hibernation based on the longer growing season. But now northern populations are also hibernating later as global temperatures rise.” [SmithsonianMagazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the adapted Pitcher Plant Mosquitoes were all still mosquitoes.  The term ‘genitically programmed’, by the way, demands an Intelligent Genetical Programmer.

4. Banded Snails. Darker shells of Banded Snails provide better camouflage in Europe’s warmer temperatures where shell colouration is determined not only by genes, but also by body temperature. [SmithsonianMagazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the Banded Snails were still snails.

5. Sockeye Salmon. “In the Columbia River, sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) are migrating earlier every year in the spring and early summer to spawn … Evolution in response to higher water temperatures proved the most likely explanation for about two-thirds of the shift, while individual adaptation to river flow changes could explain the rest.” [Smithsonian-Magazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the Sockeye Salmon were still fish.

6. Red Squirrels. The southwest Yukon has seen increasingly warm springs and a drier environment, encouraging white spruce trees to produce more cones—and giving North American red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) more to eat. In red squirrels, the more cones females eat in the fall, the earlier they give birth … Birthing time can vary a bit, but the team argues that the data can only be explained if at least some of the shift is attributed to genetic changes inherited over generations.” [Smithsonian-Magazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ happened across kinds; in the end the Red Squirrels were still squirrels.

7. Fruit Flies. Species can vary a lot based on their geography. In the case of the common fruit fly … genetic variants correspond to populations living at different latitudes, and specific enzyme mutations can serve as biomarkers … Southern Australia is more temperate and tropical, while northern Australia is dry and hot. The team found that many fruit flies living in Southern Australia now have the genetic mutations common in more northern populations—as if they’d moved nearly 4 degrees in latitude. Scientists suggest that these changes are linked to coping with a warmer and drier climate and researchers have found similar trends in Europe and North America.” [SmithsonianMagazine]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the Fruit Flies were still fruit flies (insects).

Conclusion.  Mundane en masse references to ‘adaptation’ and ‘speciation’ in nature does not prove that humans share  a ‘common ancestor’ with primates; the truth is that humans and all animals share a ‘common’ (mutual) CREATOR.

Penny Wise Pound Foolish

1. Riding the Crest of the Wave. As things stand today, atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, communists, fascists, wannabe 'cyborgs' ('cyborgology') and even satanists are riding the crest of the wave in their quest toward ideological dominance and intellectual supremacy. One after the other academics, educationists, scientists, philosophers (and even theologians from the progressive, ‘avant garde’ postmodernist perspective) are ingratiating themselves into universities, colleges, seminaries, the government and all kinds of institutions of higher leaning in order to ridicule, dismiss and shelve ‘old school, fundamental’ Christianity with contempt.

2. Their traditional weapons of destruction. These may include  books; textbooks; encyclopaedias; magazines; science journals; newspapers; bulletins; debates; talk-shows; brochures; training manuals; tourist guides; lectures; museum exhibits; research; fossil collections; publicity campaigns; lobbying for research grants from government  and/or big  business; data-banks; Internet archives, websites & blogs; computers, iPads, cell-phones, radio; television; satellite technology; GPS; modern technology and all kinds of scientific instruments of observation etc.

3. The Onslaught. Whether in books or on Internet blogs, during debates or in lectures (irrespective of the medium) the onslaught comes in waves of vitriol rife with anti- God cynicism, sarcasm, banality, profanity and, in extreme cases, even blasphemy. These agents of doom and atheistic death-after-death cult may be poor illiterates, highly educated academicians and/or scientists brandishing post-graduates degrees or multiple doctorates. Their books sell by the millions and are lauded by the New York Times as ‘NYT-bestsellers’ of considerable distinction, making such authors glow blushingly like flustered teenyboppers or wannabe supernovas at book-signings and promotions in swanky malls driven by cutting edge technology and publicity campaigns.

4. The Ultimate Reality Check. There will come a day when the towering waves of success, fame & fortune they are riding today will crush into the granite of the indestructible tablets of God’s judgments. As Cecil B. de Mille has said:

   “One cannot break God’s Law … one can only break one-self against God’s Law.”

   With respect to the Mercy and Grace (‘God’s Redemption At Christ’s Expense’) of God founded on the suffering, death, sacrifice, resurrection and righteousness of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ has issued a dire warning to the world at large:  

   “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels … For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”  [Mark8:38; Matthew-16:26].p

Three Things That Would Nullify The Sacrifice Of Christ At Calvary

1. ‘The Gospel For Christians Only’. This myth among many non-Christians that the Gospel is meant for Christians only is a gross misunderstanding of the purpose, dynamics and power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The fact is that the Gospel, while forced on none, is offered to all irrespective of race, skin-tone, culture, gender, age, socio-economic status, political affiliation and current religious persuasion. The Bible says:

  “And He [JESUS] said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned.” [Mark16:15-16].

   “Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you.” [Matthew28:19-20]. 

   As for the power of the Gospel to save, the Bible says: “Faithful is the Word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” [1Timothy1:15]. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” [Romans1:16].

   P.S. A ‘Gospel for Christians only’ policy is a contradiction in terms and would nullify the work, suffering and sacrifice of Christ for the sins of the world at Calvary (Golgotha).

2. ’Justification on the basis of Personal Merit’  No one will ever be justified on the basis of ‘good works’, ‘exemplary performance’ or ‘personal merit’ of any kind. If anything these things may pertain to the just’s eternal reward, not to eternal life. The Bible says: “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus …Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law … There-fore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” [Romans3:24,28; 5:1].

   P.S. A ‘Justification on the basis of Personal Merit’ policy would nullify the work, suffering and sacrifice of Christ for the sins of the world at Calvary (Golgotha). 

3. Should Jesus Christ ‘Abandon the Church (Ekklesia)’. Should Jesus Christ today decide to abandon the Church and renege on His promise of ‘Justification by Faith in Christ the Saviour ’ in the Scriptures would nullify the work, suffering and sacrifice of Christ for the sins of the world at Calvary (Golgotha). 

P.S. Christ's abandoning of the Church would nullify the work, suffering and sacrifice for the sins of the world at Calvary (Golgotha).

Jesus has, however, solemnly promised:

   “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”  [John14:1-3].

More Scary Tales How 'Evolution' Almost Happened

Also see 'The Story Of How Evolution Almost Really Happened' [Summary of three articles blended into one]. 

1. From Stray Dogs to ‘Wolves’. According to business-insider.com stray dogs neglected by humans over time  ‘evolve’ (sic) more ‘wolflike’ traits, e.g. by becoming more unfriendly toward humans and developing better navigation skills. [BusinessInsider. Link https://-www.businessinsider.com/examples-of-evolution-happening-right-now-2015-2?IR=T].  

P.S.  No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the stray dogs were still dogs.

2. Interbreeding Dogs.  According to this same website article some dog-owners have learned to mix and match certain dog breeds giving rise to such ‘products’ as ‘labradoodles’ (Labrador + poodle) and ‘cockapoos’. [BusinessInsider].  

P.S. They call this ‘Evolution’? No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the new (hybrid) breeds (bred by intelligent designer owners, by the way) were still dogs. 

3. Mice Interbreeding. The article states that when the Algerian Mouse (mus spretus) mate with the common House Mouse (mus musculus) pups born from such unions are still fertile and that the breed will develop immunity against ‘warfarin’ (pesticides). 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds; in the end the new breeds were still mice.

4. ‘Clepto’ Sea Slugs. The article states that sea slugs will ‘steal’ (sic) genes and chloroplasts from the algae they eat; this stolen genes and chloroplast are then incorporated into their own DNA enabling them to live for days on end on nothing but sunshine. These algae genes get passed onto the next generation of slugs thus bypassing ‘traditional Evolution’ (sic). 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the new generation of sea slugs are still slugs.

5. Bedbugs ‘Evolution’.  Same article states that ‘city-dwelling bedbugs’ will over time a complete ‘separate species’ of bedbug than its ‘cave-dwelling cousins’ who will have developed a waxier exoskeleton and a faster metabolism to  enhance its natural chemical defences. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the bedbugs are still insects (bedbugs).

6. Wolf & Coyote. BusinessInsider writes: ”A new hybrid of the coyote and the wolf, or coywolf, that first emerged in the last few decades is now coming out in droves in the Northeastern US. About 2/3 of the coywolves’ DNA is from wolves, while another 1/4 is from coyotes. The remainder is from domesticated dogs.  But nothing about these animals is domestic. They’re even bigger than either their wolf or coyote ancestors, weighing in at as much as 140 pounds. They’re also social, like wolves, meaning they tend to hunt inpacks.” [BusinessInsider]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has  happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the coyotes were still coyotes interbred with wolves to give coywolves, a new hybrid but still the same ‘kind’ of animal.

7. A Fishy Story.  BusinessInsider writes: “When New Yorkers started dumping PCBs (a type of industrial toxin) in the Hudson River in 1929, they wiped out a large majority of its wildlife.  But at least one species survived — and thrived. Over the span of a few decades (PCBs were banned in 1979) a fish called the tomcod evolved to resist the poison via natural selection. Fish with a special set of genes that make a key poison-shielding protein were the only critters to survive the toxic onslaught. They, in turn, passed their protective genes onto their offspring.” [BusinessInsider]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the new generation of fish were still fish.

8. Invasive Amphibian. “About 75 years ago, the Australian sugar bureau decided to lug a handful of South American cane toads from Hawaii to Australia with the idea that they'd rid the country of the sugarcane-devouring cane beetle. On their new continent, where they lacked their natural predators, the toad population immediately exploded … these toads expanded rapidly, likely because of several adaptive traits that allowed them to travel faster and farther.  When they mate, they pass their longer legs onto their offspring.” [Business-Insider]. 

P.S. No ‘Evolution’ has happened across ‘kinds’; in the end the toads were still toads. 

Conclusion. Citing examples of how ‘adaptation’ & ‘speciation’ occur among animals in nature is not conclusive proof for 'Evolution' across ‘kinds’.
