Genetic research reveals a “rescue” gene in fruit flies that allows cross-species offspring to survive but results in sterility or weakened health. This gene poses a problem for evolutionary theory, as it offers no clear benefit for survival or reproduction. Such discoveries highlight God’s design in maintaining distinct biological kinds.
