== Mutations and the Life Sciences in General ==

Creationist scientists believe that [[mutation|mutations]] and [[natural selection]] would not cause macroevolution to happen. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/mutations.asp</ref><ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/mutations01.asp</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v12/i1/improbable.asp</ref><ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3831</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/selection.asp</ref> Additionally, creationist scientists state that the life sciences as a whole support the creation model and do not support the evolutionary model. <ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/LifeSciences2.html</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/Lerner_resp.asp</ref>

Evolutionist [[Theodosius Dobzhansky]] wrote: "The process of [[mutation]] is the only known source of the new materials of genetic variability, and hence of evolution." <ref>http://www.nwcreation.net/geneticquotes.html</ref>  Evolutionists believe that the processes of mutation and [[natural selection]] and [[genetic drift]] created every species of life that we see on earth today after [[Origin of life|life first came about on earth]]. <ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1855</ref> Creationist scientists believe that mutations, natural selection, and genetic drift would not cause [[macroevolution]]. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/mutations.asp</ref><ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/mutations01.asp</ref><ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1855</ref><ref>http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3831</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/selection.asp</ref> Furthermore, creationist scientists assert that the life sciences as a whole support the creation model and do not support the evolutionary model. <ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/LifeSciences2.html</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/Lerner_resp.asp</ref>

 

Lastly, creationists and [[intelligent design]] theorists do not believe that the origin of first life is credible though naturalistic means and that it occurred supernaturally. <ref>http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/origin-of-life.html</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/origin.asp</ref><ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/abio.asp</ref><ref>http://www.macrodevelopment.org/library/meyer.html</ref><ref>http://www.nwcreation.net/abiogenesislinks.html</ref>
