Creationists use the reverse engineering formula for their logic, start with a premise (the Earth is 6000 years old) then use the science that helps lead to the desired conclusion and ignore the science that refutes it. To them this makes complete sense but they don't seem to realize how foolish it appears to others.

Its there religion you cant change what they beleive
I think you're confusing microevolution with macroevolution in that sense, in which marcoevolution is only a theory.
Neither are a theory, neither are a hypothesis, both are BS invented by creationists.
Evolution however us a scientific theory. It is also a fact. Would it be more convincing to you if it were 'the law of evolution'?
And evolution along with just about every science from chemistry to geology disproves creation.
Say you have a car, and every day you change one feature about that car- the color, the bumper, the hubcaps. By the end of a week you've still got basically the same car- that's adaption. By the end of a few months- not the same car structurally. That's speciation.
Please don't even talk about macro and micro evolution. It is creationist propaganda, and its playing into their hands. Scientists don't talk in those terms, there is no micro or macro, there is just evolution.
Not all only some, you are implying that all creationist believe that. You need to say some not all.
Christians accept the creation story by faith in an effort to find meaning for their existence. What's wrong with that. Evolution is still a theory and adaptation is not evolution altho many would like to have you believe so. So far we Americans have the right to believe what we want about anything. I believe I'll have some more ice cream :)
Adaption leads to speciation when it builds up over time. To claim it can't is like this: you have a car, and every day you change one feature about that car. The bumper, the color, whatever. By the end of the first week, you've still got the same car structurally. By the end of a few months? Not the same car at all.
No different mechanisms. Just time.
Because quite frankly creationists are stunningly ignorant.
Saying "microevolution" is somehow different than "macro evolution" is like saying drops of water dripped into a glass can never equal one cup of water.
And yes, there are still sadly people who believe in flat earth.
But if you are making a good living selling books and DVDs to gullible people who are desperate to believe and will swallow anything that supports their faith, why let truth get in the way?
And if you knew even the basics of science, you'd know a theory is the highest level of support an idea gets. Gravity is a theory. The heliocentric model of the solar system is a theory. Theories EXPLAIN facts. Evolution, like gravity, is both a fact and a theory.
Sorry, but you guys will just have to accept facts and catch up to this century.
The JW's interestingly admit that the earth may be older then 6k years stating that each day of creation was more then 24 hrs, and may not have been consecutive periods. But the bad part is they still insist that humans are only 6k years old.
Mah! I'm a creationist that believes in evolution! When science fails, (like how the first life came), religion buts in for me. It's all very much planned.
Wild, if you accept evolution you aren't actually what is commonly termed a creationist. Usually the term for people who accept evolution but just think their god created or guided the process is that you believe in theistic evolution.
Many creationists do not believe in that concept.i am a pagan creationist and I don't believe in it.in my point of view,your NOT at all a creationist if you believe in that micro evolution.
