Ever been asked if you *believe*

6. Creationists actually concede that "microevolution" does occur. It's just too hard to explain away

mutations that turn a virus into a pathogen, or the results of selective breeding of domestic animals and crops. Macroevolution, which is how new species evolve, is harder to explain to someone without a background in biology, and is something we don't see happening around us all the time. It is most often sen in the fossil record, so creationists have numerous very "creative" beliefs to account for what is evident in the fossil record. Their favorite go-to creationist contention is that Noah's Great Flood created the entire fossil record in a flash (and the Grand Canyon, too!). They also seem to rely on God the Practical Joker, who tests our faith by leaving fossils around that appear to support evolution.
