Creationists insist that no one has ever observed evolution taking place, but as National Geographic reported a few years ago (see link below), “evolution has been caught in the act” in the case of an Australian lizard that is currently transitioning between egg-laying and giving live birth.
The fascinating details also provide insight into how such a seemingly drastic change can occur. After all, a stumbling block for many when it comes to accepting evolution is to understand how a jump can be made from one state (e.g., egg-laying) to another (e.g., giving live birth) when no intermediate states appear possible. This little lizard provides us with an example of how it can be done. As one of the study's authors put it, "We tend to think of this as a very complex transition, but it's looking like it might be much simpler in some cases than we thought."
I wonder what creationists will say about all this. Maybe that God works in mysterious ways?
